While waiting in the heat for the next steps in making progress on “Risalo”, I have to keep myself busy with useful things where I can. I chose an exceedingly boring task to work on today, in the heat of the hostel room.I sat down to research some wordpress stuff to get this site more up to date with a theme that works well on mobile. Between that, and falling asleep a few times, the day went by rather slow. In the evening, I texted friends that I was walking over to the society. My friend Saqib met me there. I took care of an errand then we just walked all around the neighborhoods. It was actually very nice. It took me out of my own circular thoughts. Jamshoro is much nicer at night as the winds are cool.

We walked all around, then happened upon a really great brass band playing in a residential street. They kept marching up and down the street. We stood and watched for a quite a while, then I got their contact information and thanked them. Aakash Musical Band based in Hyderabad, Sindh. Contact Mohammad Aslam (Pakistan number: 03453587117).I ended up picking up a pizza from a place I had ordered over the phone from a couple of times. I even photographed their menu before coming back just so I could have a few more choices if I needed to order food. Anything that I can do to break the monotony and bring a bit more cheer into these challenging days. Don’t get me wrong, I am very fortunate for the relatively manageable challenges that I am facing and others like the hostel mess staff have it far worse.
