1006 am Now on my bed. After midnight loose motion I could sleep with some discomfort--not comfortable because it was hot and there was construction noise outside. And then I was up probably around four and could not sleep; soon there was call for the morning prayer.  Fortunately, I could sleep a little bit more peacefully after that and I when I was awake and I looked at the time on my phone it was past 950. So I think altogether I had around eight hours of sleep which was good-- I need that much sleep

1047 pm now on the walking track on the first floor after seeing off my friend who left because his wife is in distress--it has to do with the legal case he is involved in; his wife now has hypertension and all those problems related to stress. I got a haircut today.  After the haircut I went to the AKUH for a walk with my friend.  We had some food in the Cafeteria, after the walk.  We were joined by Khawar, visiting from the US.  We wanted to sit in a coffee shop so we went to Espresso on Tipu Sultan  My stomach has been behaving very well since this morning.
