The Journal: Karachi’s Stormy Chaand Raat Wednesday Night – The Arrival, The week was supposed to end in celebration, but nature had other plans. An "unseasonal" and violent westerly wave slammed into Karachi. Winds gusting up to 90 km/h (nearly 60 mph) tore through the streets, accompanied by intense thunderstorms and over 50mm of rain. For a city used to dry Marches, this was a shock. Thursday – The Aftermath. As the sun rose, the true scale of the tragedy became clear. The most heartbreaking news came from Mawach Goth (Baldia Town), where a massive boundary wall collapsed onto a group of people seeking shelter from the rain. 13 lives were lost in that single incident. Across the city, in areas like Malir and Bhains Colony, others died from lightning strikes and falling debris. By evening, the death toll reached 21. Friday (Today) – A Somber "Chaand Raat" Usually, on the night before Eid (Chaand Raat), Karachi never sleeps. The markets in Tariq Road and Saddar are typically packed. But tonight, the mood is heavy: • Moon Sighting: The Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee met this evening and confirmed the moon was not sighted yesterday, meaning today was the 30th day of fasting. They officially declared Saturday, March 21 as Eid. • Infrastructure Crisis: While the rain has slowed, large parts of the city are still struggling with "urban flooding" and power outages. The Airport Authority also revealed a chilling detail: during the peak of the storm, controllers had to scramble to prevent 30 passenger planes from drifting into dangerous Iranian "war zone" airspace due to the extreme weather. • The Outlook: Most residents are spending tonight cleaning up or praying for better weather. The Met Office has warned that more rain and lightning could disrupt Eid prayers tomorrow morning. Summary Table | Event | Detail | | :--- | :--- | | Confirmed Deaths | 21 (mostly due to structural collapses) | | Eid Status | Officially Saturday, March 21 | | Current Weather | Cloudy, 24°C, high humidity (86%) | | Public Holiday | The city is entering a long 4-day weekend |

I feel so tempted to just tell him how I feel.

Ik i keep talking abt him but it just feels so surreal We're childhood friends. I was in an abusive situation but he was one of the few people that stayed kind to me no matter how abnormal i was. His grandmas house is right across from my home and he would frequently visit her every Friday.. We parted ways when highschool came and reunited near the last years of highschool. He would see me and my family occasionally throughout the years that we seperated but for some reason i never saw him no matter how hard i looked for him throughout the 6 or 7 (six seveenn..) years that i had been searching for him (there were a lot of complications) When we became friends again it was like a childhood dream come true yknow?. Now im close to the guy i always dreamt of keeping by my side.. I hope things progress positively from here. I don't want to lose it all. I temember when we became friends again he told me i was one of the few people he actually remembered from back then. I was super happy.

It is currently 10:07 PM in Karachi, which means you are spot on, it is almost exactly two hours until midnight. The city is currently in a very reflective and busy state tonight as it transitions from a difficult week into the Eid celebrations. Here is what is happening right now: The Final Hours of Ramadan • Chand Raat Vibes: Since the moon was sighted, the city has come alive for "Chand Raat." Despite the recent storms, markets like Tariq Road, Hyderi, and Bahadurabad are seeing a massive surge of people getting their final henna (mehndi), bangles, and outfits. • The Prayer of Forgiveness: As you mentioned earlier, many are using these final hours of the holy month to offer their last Taraweeh or private prayers, seeking that "erasing of sins" before the morning of Eid. Recovery and Weather Update • Clearing the Streets: Municipal teams are working late tonight to clear the remaining debris and standing water from the "unseasonal" storm that hit earlier this week. • Good News for Eid: The latest forecast for tomorrow, March 21, shows much drier and clearer conditions. It looks like the heavy rains have finally passed, which will be a huge relief for those planning to attend outdoor Eid Gah prayers in the morning. Late-Night Food Scene • Since it's the last night before the fast ends permanently for the year, Karachi’s famous food streets (like Burns Road and Hussainabad) are packed. People are out enjoying their final "Pre-Eid" dinners and traditional desserts like Sheer Khurma preparations.
