Despite sleeping close to midnight, I couldn't wake at 0500hrs or even 0900hrs, rather I got up just beyond midday. 'Enjoying' almost 12 hours of sleep. This is a move in the wrong direction despite the fact that I'm maintaining the new dietary pattern of eating well in the morning and then just having a cereal in the evening while missing lunch. In fact, I even missed out on eating my evening cereal yesterday.
Obviously, we throttle on despite everything.

The security situation in AJK is at its most perilous post 1947 given the AJK government and it's sponsor Pakistan's inability to contain a year long peaceful resistance to:
1) Unwarranted hikes on the price of electricity in a territory producing much more than its own needs.
2) Inaccessibility to subsidised flour for the affected masses at large.
3) Unnecessary privileges & perks enjoyed by the bureaucracy & politicians of AJK
With a nationwide 'Long March' announced by the Joint Awaami Action Committee AJK for the 11th of May (2024), the following government circular looks ominous and it has been followed up with a drastic increase in Pakistani troops throughout the rural & urban landscape of AJK to crush this peaceful & persistent resistance:
This is a desperate attempt 2 'subvert' a peaceful movement 4 basic rights n #AJK that has struggled n a daily basis 4D last year, with little seriousness shown by d #AJKGovt r its sponsor #Pakistan. This is a last ditch attempt by the occupier 2 sustain a conflict economy here. pic.twitter.com/ULNesxVpVC
