Daily Diary (DD) - Day 104 of 2026

1134hrs:

I experienced a similar pattern to yesterday (getting to sleep just beyond 0300hrs), except that I got up 2 hours later than yesterday (1100hrs today). The good news is that my health is finally recovering, after a whole week of being besieged by influenza and fever. 

....

Daily Diary (DD) - Day 103 of 2026

1002hrs:

I struggled to sleep last night, eventually transitioning beyond 0300hrs and getting up just after 0900hrs. I haven't been emancipated yet from the flu and temperature nagging me since last Tuesday. No doubt, the struggle continues.

Daily Diary (DD) - Day 102 of 2026

0327hrs:

I'm not able to avoid these false starts quite yet and I also seem to be alternating between sleeping at night and not being able to sleep at night. This is indeed a tough battle, if not the toughest battle of my life yet.

....

Since Luton Town have won a trophy today and they still have an outside chance of achieving promotion from League 1 (3rd tier of English football) to the Championship (2nd tier of English football) I thought I'd assess their performance over the year:

I did predict with 10 games left (after drawing away 1-1 against Doncaster on 11 March) that they would need 30 of 30 points and had to push up their GD to at least +20 (from +1), in order to secure a play-off position. Over the season, I feel Luton have dropped at least 20 points unnecessarily, which if secured would have likely translated into an automatic promotion place.

A Wycombe 1-2 (14 Mar) W

H Exeter 3-2 (18 Mar) W

H Stockport 1-1 (21 Mar) D

H Peterborough 2-1 (3 Apr) W

A Wimbledon 0-3 (6 Apr) W

Half way - Have just dropped 2 points from 15 available and increased GD by +6

Currently 10th (12 April 2026)

P41 W17 D10 L14 F57 A50 GD7 PTS 61

Ave overall: 49.6% of available points derived.

Last 5 games:

H Northampton (15 Apr)

A Mansfield (18 Apr)

A Rotherham (21 Apr)

H Barnsley (25 Apr)

A Bolton (2 May)

Targets:

(Top 2 automatic places already out of reach)

3rd - Bradford P42 GD5 PTS 71 

4th - Bolton P42 GD15 PTS 70

5th - Stockport P40 GD9 PTS 67

6th - Stevenage P41 GD5 PTS 67

Gap/Margin: 

Need 15 from 15 PTS (+13 more GD)

Out of control:

Stockport - 9 points (6 games left & if they win game in hand)

Bradford - 7 points (4 games left)

Stevenage - 6 points (5 games left)

Bolton - 3 points (4 games left & 8 goals adrift in GD too)

Daily Diary (DD) - Day 101 of 2026

1250hrs:

My health hasn't quite recovered yet but I did get to sleep at around 2200hrs last night, having resumed my daily walk & gym routine earlier in the day. I did get up at 0500hrs but didn't feel well enough to get up.

Judging from the above performance, I am only 2 hours out of sync.

Daily Diary (DD) - Day 100 of 2026

0326hrs:

Thankfully my health is recovering with each passing hour, especially since the sun came out yesterday, after a few days of almost incessant rain. It should also be noted that I prepared for sleep not too long after the 2000hrs watershed. It was mighty difficult as I had to practice shut-eye in the dark for most of this aspired for window of rest. I did get up a few times in between but despite not getting any sleep, I still feel relatively fresh as I did try and shut my brain down.

Let's see how the day pans out today.

Daily Diary (DD) - Day 99 of 2026

1315hrs:

I still haven't quite recovered from the weather siege of the past few days. This has obviously affected my daily performance in a significant way, even more significant than the lapses that I usually commit. I didn't get to sleep till close to 0700hrs this morning, while waking just after 1100hrs.

It is of course back to the drawing board once again!

1309hrs:

Since returning from yesterday morning's walk in the rain (without head cover) my condition turned for the worse! I am only now beginning to recover after over 24 hours. 

The positive outcome emerging is that I did wake up naturally at 0400hrs this morning, although I was in no condition to input anything here. I hope this pattern now stabilises.

Daily Diary (DD) - Day 97 of 2026

0516hrs:

I did try at some point this morning to sleep but it was - yet again - not to be. I will re-try an experiment that I have tried before and usually failed viz. get through the day without falling asleep at any point, till the optimum time of sleeping at 2000hrs sharp. Can I break even this evening? I will ask myself repeatedly throughout the day today.

Meanwhile, I'm back in my hamlet in Sehnsa, as I returned from Mirpur yesterday evening.

.... 

The following note was published earlier this morning:

#NoElection2026AJK

I wonder if #UKMPs members in #UKParliament of #AJK (or even #JKA origin) - who may amount to just over a dozen - and if you include former MPs plus those who came second in the most recent #ElectionUK2024 you may get closer to 2 dozen.......may be bold enough to publicly discuss the subjects of #Peace & #Democracy in our territory; where under the peaceful, ethical, democratic & legal mass public mobilisation strategy of #JAAC #JammuKashmir #JointAwamiActionCommittee over a dozen of our peaceful protestors and local #AJKPolice who tried to maintain peaceful movement from South #Bhimber to North #Muzaffarabad in #May2024 and #SepOct2025 were targeted and gunned down in calculated cold blood. 

These UK MPs of AJK origin, who live and work in the oldest running parliament in the world would do well to convince us how we - 90% of the population based on consistent on-the-ground independent action-oriented public policy research over 2 decades - can endure another election using a democratic façade while being organised, monitored, manipulated and executed by a clandestine organisation, which has no such bona fides in the territory.

 

UK MPs would also do well to revisit their parliament's record of #18Jul1947 with respect to the Indian Independence Act and follow the constitutional journey from there to this day, with particular reference to the State of #Jammu & #Kashmir . 

There will be #ElectionAJK2027 , though after ensuring that an #InternalPublicContractAJK is completed - to reflect and confirm that - 90% of the aspiring citizens of this territory want their own genuinely #FreeGovtAJK , as formalised by the late Barrister Hamid Bashani of #Banjosa in #Poonch , in the very early days of #Feb2023 viz. 

Barrister Hamid Bashani died: April 9 2025

Question (to the aspiring citizens of AJK):

Do you want such a government in Azad Jammu & Kashmir (AJK)..that unconditionally maintains all legislative and decision-making powers in relation to all the financial, administrative, political, social and security matters of the territory? 

....end of question

After all, we cannot negotiate with our neighbours #Afghanistan #China #India #Pakistan or the rest of the world for that matter, until we negotiate between ourselves internally and come to a common agreement on how we interact with the rest of #JKA for a start and the rest of the world - including all our neighbours - in consequence. 

To quote the late Chief Justice of the High Court in AJK, Abdul Majeed Malik of #Mirpur post #5Aug2019 :

Abdul Majeed Malik died: March 1 2022

Transcription and Translation (from Urdu into English):

The public of Jammu Kashmir should make a clear announcement. 

It should give this message to the whole world. 

That the State of Jammu Kashmir is a free country. 

Paramountcy is owned by the public of Jammu Kashmir. 

The public of Jammu Kashmir are not part of any agreement. 

Neither have they made a commitment with anyone. 

They are not a part of India, neither are they a part of Pakistan.

Indeed they are a separate country.

This is confirmed by Pakistan's constitution in 1956, in 1962 too and in 1973 it is mentioned too..

In which article 257 assures that the State of Jammu Kashmir is not a part of India, neither is it a part of Pakistan. 

Indeed that it has a separate, free and independent existence.

On whose behalf the public of Jammu Kashmir will decide.

So, in these circumstances we have to make an announcement:

That the public of the State of Jammu Kashmir are not bound by any agreement; they are not bound by the Indus Basin Treaty, they are not bound by the Simla Accord and neither are they bound in any other agreement.  

Further that they do not give any State...or any Power the right to choose (on their behalf), India can not make any such decision and neither can Pakistan.

In fact the public of Jammu Kashmir themselves want to keep their country free and freedom itself is their mission

They will also not accept any partition/division (of their land) and neither will they accept any other decision...

wa maa alaina il-lal balaagh (Arabic)

This is what we have to disseminate (spread, tell others)

Another false start and almost inevitably so. I got to sleep just beyond 0300hrs yesterday morning and dared not post as I was on the verge of sleeping. I got up at 0900hrs later in the morning and have been constant in activity since then till now. 

Now that today is a Sunday and by habit a day to relax, maybe I can work something out to get me ready for the working week ahead.
