SUNDAY 'BACHAT' BAZAARS


Once upon a time, when the actual bazaars were starting to charge higher prices, in Phase 8, the Sunday bazaar took place which provided all kinds of actual and 2nd hand materials in affordable price. The price was so affordable that soon all the housewives and children would badger their husbands and fathers to give up there Sundays in order to soak in sun and drench in sweat to either get a branded bag more than half the price of actual or buy sneakers in ‘almost’ free pricing strategy!

Soon, the popularity were such that not only you could get branded and foreign stuff, you could get the ‘Pakistani’ stuff easily too. The sales man put stalls of carpet to cutlery and anything to everything could be found there. Such was the vibe that it was made into a proper market. When at first you get all dirty and sweaty, they made lanes and benches and food court for people to enjoy. When you first don’t even bathe when coming to Sunday bazaars because you would anyway get dirty, people started to come dressed properly to buy things. When there was a slight hesitation in admitting that ‘I bought it from Sunday bazaar!’ Now, there was no hesitation in the flaunting of Sunday bazaar goodies.

Then, all of a sudden, the Sunday bazaar closed down and people got so shocked to where to buy branded things as every other place was so pricey. Many rumors got out on why the Sunday bazaar closed down but no one till now knows the actual reason. Many attempts were made to re-initiate it but to loss!

Now, recently in 2017, they opened a Sunday bachat bazaar and it flourished. Things were amazing and cheap and foreign. Everything from the decorations to clothing to cutlery was cheap and good in quality. People were very happy but after a month or two of having these bazaar, the ‘awaam’ (public) got another disappointment that it’s closing down yet again.

The reason now is because of the NADIS (lanes of water) and NULAAHS (nala also lanes) can get clogged up. As Dry Malir River bed soaks rain water. To me, it is a very vague and stupid reason. Sunday bazaar was very convenient and was catering to those who couldn’t afford such pricey items. And could still be trendy. The most amazing part of Sunday bazaar was after the ‘khuwari’ of sun and sweat, the haul you get was very satisfying.

I hope they re-initiate the Sunday bazaar!

Thank you.

Welcome to My Beyond Blog

Hiya, For a long time now, I wanted to start my own Blog, but, I couldn’t get the motivation to start it. I was really afraid of ‘being rejected’. Then, I thought why not make one and see how it feels and who and how it is welcomed. How can you be afraid when you haven’t experienced it yet, and this is no sin, right? So, thus the name ‘Beyond That’ as it selflessly shows that you can dream, achieve and feel good about it. It’s all about positivity. Well, so what is here that may interest my readers, 1.      The new ways to cope with life and be more open about it 2.     The ways in which we can open up our thoughts and be more creative in what we have to say 3.     My weight loss journey, how it helps me and how may it help you 4.     The wonderful reasons of writing as I have a hundred and thousands of abstracts waiting to be read and admired (I think so!) 5.     A lot of fun facts, opinions...

It's all about Biryani!

Biryani Case Study Making biryani today at home made me think of a blog entry. If you live in Pakistan and aren’t familiar with biryani, than you are not Pakistani at all (may be it is saying much, but truth is hard). Biryani is loved by everyone in Pakistan and everywhere else in the world and so are the versions that are loved. From Sindh to Hyderabad to Bombay, all the version are being loved and liked by all ages. I remember when I was a small kid, biryani was an occasional treat. I used to beg my mother to make me one and she said it takes time. “No beta, biryani takes 3 hours and I have a lot of work.” My mom used to say. Chapter closed. Now, people make biryani in 1 hour and well, they are not that good. Either ‘Thumbs up’ or ‘thumbs down’. Sindhi or Hyderabadi biryani , to me it sounds the same and smells the same. Taste changes as you differ the layering process. Some says that hyderabadi is made only from yogurt and no tomatoes are used. Some says that Sindhi biry...

A New Start.

A Step I should have taken LONG ago... -JustBeyond Hi To all who are reading this entry, Today, I am leaving my Procrastination behind and stepping on the journey of Weight loss transformation. Looking at so many of the people before and after, I have finally and successfully saw what was causing me to be like that. It was me. So bye bye . Chips, chocolate, and all those junks. So, starting March 2018, I started my exercise and started a little too minimal portion control and lost 7 kg of weight with 2 inches less from all sides. But this didn’t happen in 1, 2 or 3 months. But, this took 7 months. So, with proper exercise but improper diet, I lost 7 kgs In 7 months. Which I thought was amazing. But, when you are an 82 kg person and you need to get to a goal of 55-60kg. This is not a good figure at all. 2 inches less doesn’t even show. But then again, a little portion control did help me achieve this much and I was thankful. So, when half of September is now gone, I woke...
