215 pm I am back at my beach after having my only cooked meal of the day. I was busy interacting with people, for inverter for my own muscle power station and for father's medicines; I heard they call for prayer. I started yoga listening to the audio but after a few postures started doing it on my own. Took shower and went out to see what was happening; Anita said that she had cooked the food and now was going to make roti; I asked her to fry two eggs for me without any oil.  I took out the roti that Nusrat Apa sent and asked Anita to first just fry eggs for me because all I needed from her were two fried eggs and a cup of tea.  A replacement box of mangoes arrived from Multan Point.  Good customer care!  659 pm I am in the office waiting for the driver to come back with the medication.  828 pm I am here in the TV room after finishing my shake.  Today, an hour or so ago, it was the first time father said now was the time to let Tahira go.  One thing th...

438 pm I am at my beach and have been archiving  for a long time. I have also called or left a voicemail message for the gear guy and I have also left a message for the guy who is providing an inverter. Tis morning I had a very long conversation with brother-in-law. His first merchant Navy trip was in 1974 when he went on a Gokal shipping company ship from Karachi to Colombo and then to Singapore and then to North Korea. From there he went to China and saw the Great Wall of China and then from Beijing flew back to Karachi. And then there were several trips from here to Middle East and even to Europe. Father's birthday celebrated today.

839 am I am back at my beach after opening the front door and putting the water container in the freezer. Last night I went to bed slightly after midnight--I was up slightly after eight; I think that I had a good 7 to 8 hours of sleep.  927 am I think I should now go out and make the shake. I had a missed call from Javed Sb of Amin Mechanical so I called him and had a long conversation with him. The gist of the conversation was that I should go to the junkyard and get gears myself, and then he can put those gears together in a gear box.; 220 pm I am back at my beach after finishing the lunch that I ate with father and Parisee. The whole effort was to save the gifted food from the hands of the workers and especially the fat cat. This morning when I found her going to father‘s room she was probably asking what he would eat and he probably said that he would eat the food that came yesterday.  I went to her and I told her she is not allowed to even touch the food that came yesterd...
