(A)_Inspirations for Passport renewal:

.

I got my first Pakistani green passport in 2005, which was valid till 2010. Then in the year 2013 I got my passport renewed for the first time, which was valid till 2015. In 2023 I watched a video of a famous Pakistani vloger from Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan in which vloger was saying good things about having Pakistani green passport. That vloger, in that video, was saying that passport is a national document and having it is a good thing. Plus during the same time one of my siblings performed umrah and that became a great inspiration for me to get my passport renewed for the second time.

.

(B)_Research for Passport renewal:

.

This is how I made up my mind for getting my Pakistani green passport renewed. Therefore first before applying for renewal of my green Pakistani passport I started researching online so that I could gather as much information as possible about the current procedures for getting Pakistani green passport renewed.

.

Out of important informations that I gathered online one was that online service for renewal of Pakistani green passport was not available so far and second was that I could pay Passport renewal fees in any branch of National Bank of Pakistan and third was that I have to go to the nearest Regional Passport Office from my (permanent) address on my CNIC for submitting my request for Passport renewal.

.

(C)_Passport renewal:

.

After gathering enough information I started working practically on this project of getting my Pakistani green passport renewed.

.

(C-1)_Passport fee payment:

.

I started by first going to the nearest branch of the National Bank of Pakistan and getting a passport challan form for Rs 25 from one of the counters there. Some days later on 2023 June 21 Wednesday, after filling the form, I went to the same bank branch and paid the fees for getting my Pakistani green passport renewed.

.

(C-2)_Document collection:

.

In the evening of 2023 June 21 Wednesday I collected the required documents which were my previous original passport and current original CNIC card and their photostats and placed them in an envelope.

(@2023 June 22 Thursday)_I, since some weeks, was thinking of going to Passport office for renewing my green passport of Pakistan and today morning decided to do that.

(@09:30)_I started preparing for going to Regional Passport office Malir (Address: V5MM+Q38, Begum Khursheed Rd, Darakhshan Cooperative Housing Society Kala Board, Karachi, Karachi City, Sindh, Pakistan).

(@09:56)_I took a selfie of me standing in front of door of my bedroom.

(@10:07)_I reached at the bazar bus stop. Sat on the seat at bus stop and started waiting for Red bus of route EV-2 for going to Malir halt.

(@10:27)_I took a taxi to Regional Passport office Malir because I felt as if I was in a hurry and also because no bus has come in the meantime.

(@10:47)_I reached at the Regional Passport office Malir.

(@10:56)_After walking around in the compound and collecting information from different windows and persons standing in different lines I stood at the end of the male line. There were around 20 to 25 persons already standing in the line.

(@11:02)_I observed that the line was not moving and then got the news that Internet was down. On further enquiry I got the information that the internet was down since 09:24am. :( I don't know whether any of these news were authentic or not.

(@11:16)_I started thinking to return home but stayed.

(@11:30)_Internet got restored and both male and female lines started moving.

(@12:05)_On my turn I was asked to come inside the office building. They were calling in few males from male line and few females from female lines at a time. I went inside the building.

(C-3-a: @12:15)_At first counter I got photographed and received token.

(C-3-b: @12:55)_At another counter I got my finger print verified. (This step took a lot of time because immediately before my turn computer started hanging again and again. Then operator forgot password of windows 10. Some other person came and solved the problem. But then the mouse stopped working and they had to install a new mouse.)

(C-3-c: @13:01)_At another counter my data was verified/updated.

(C-3-d: @13:12)_At another counter my required document's photostats were collected. Passport token was stamped stating to collect passport from Regional Passport office sadder, Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan.

(C-3-e: @13:17)_In a separate room I got interviewed by Assistant director cum Office incharge of Regional Passport Office Malir, Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan.

(@13:22)_Passport renewal request submission Job done and I came out of the building.

(@13:27)_After my passport renewal submission process was over, I stayed in the office premises for about an hour giving company to a man (Jawaid) who was standing in line inside the building in front of me. Now he was waiting for his friend to come and pick him up. According to that person he was car welder by profession and was for the first time going out of Pakistan to Saudi Arabia for a job. Masha ALLAH.

(@14:11)_Jawaid's friend came and Jawaid departed with his friend on his friend's bike. Then I took a rickshaw from Regional Passport office malir to Malir halt for Rs100. The moment I wanted to take out my mobile to make a video of this little rickshaw ride, the rickshaw driver advised me not to take out the mobile. I did as advised.

(@14:29)_When I reached at the Malir Halt bus stop, there was already a Red bus of route EV-2 parked there, so I got into it and sat on the window seat. After a while the bus started and in around half hour I reached at my home.

(@15:03)_Thus that journey came to its end. Masha ALLAH.

Following is a small video clip I made during my return journey from Regional Passport Office Saddar, Karachi South, Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan. It was my 1st of 2 attempts for collecting my Pakistani green passport.

.

.

.

(@PkT 2023 July 06 Thursday)_Today I went to the passport office Saddar, Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan to collect my new passport.

(@09:02)_While going to the passport office to get my renewed passport, I remembered that I forgot to make my start-up selfie. So I made my selfie while standing in front of the wall of the college.

(@09:05)_Then I thought that maybe that selfies was not verly good. Therefore, standing in front of the plants on the front of A-4, I took another selfie.

(@09:25)_The taxi driver asked Rs2000 for the Regional Passport office Saddar Karachi. Wheather was hot and I was already wet with sweat therefore as airconditioned Red bus of route EV-2 came I got into it for Malir halt.

(@09:48)_From Malir halt I took Mehran texi for Rs1000 to the Regional Passport office Saddar, Karachi. At Malir halt I faced a lot of problem in crossing the road as because of the morning office and school etc time there was a great rush of all kind of vehicles.

(@10:27)_I found out from the Regional Passport office Sadder, Karachi that my passport has not arrived yet. I was asked to come after July 15. So I came out of the passport office to return.

(@10:37)_After a lot of bargaining, a taxi driver accepted to come up to the Malir halt in Rs1000. And so my return journey began. Texi, Rickshaw rates were more for returning from Regional Passport office Sadder, Karachi then rates for comming to Passport office.

(@10:50)_During return journey I made a small video clip of underpass on Shahrah e Faisal and felt very happy while making that video clip. Let me also mention that my return journey was in a black and yellow taxi.

(@11:01)_After reaching at the Main Miller Halt I sat in the only Red bus standing there. Because the doors of the bus were open, the bus was not particularly cool.

(@11:22)_When the bus passed through Tank Chowk, it was found that the red bus was not going to where I do live but was going to Bahria Town.

(@11:28)_I alighted from that Red bus in front a gate of area where I do live. For some time I kept asking the prices of flower pots at a nursery near the bus stop.

(@11:38)_When I reached at the gate of the area where I do live, I noticed that the *_______ van* was no longer running. However, a few bolan vans were playing but that too as taxis. So I took a bolan van texi for Rs400 to my house.

(@11:47)_Reached my house.

(@11:47)_I took a selfie after reaching my house. The end of this journey. Masha ALLAH

(@PkT 2023 July 17 Monday)_Today I went to the passport office saddar for the second time to collect my new passport.

(@12:36)_Soon after our home maid's departure, I left home.

(@12:51)_After 18 minutes of reaching at the bus stop, a Red bus of route EV-2 came but was full therefore I took a texi for the Regional Passport office Sadder, Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan for Rs2500.

(@13:17)_Nipa crossed.

(@13:27)_Hasan square crossed.

(@13:30)_Kashmir amusement park crossed. There was a large ferris wheel in the park. I saw that ferris wheel for the first time.

(@13:32)_Old sabzi mandi crossed.

(@13:35)_Dawood Engineering University Crossed. Islamia College complexion was still completely red . . . I don't know what it eats.

(@13:40)_In the middle of the road, Mazar Quaid was clearly visible. I thought to take a photo . . . then I thought I would take a photo when the taxi will be a little nearer, but when the taxi was moving on the road next to Mazar-e-Quaid, Mazar-e-Quaid was completlly hidden behind the trees :(

(@13:48)_Reached at the Regional Passport office Sadder, Karachi. Texi driver asked if I will like to go back with him and I set with him my return journey for Rs1500.

The main gate of the passport office was closed because its time (2 o'clock) was about to end. Therefore I entered through the second gate. I said that I have to collect my passport and person standing at the gate said Ok then go inside. Reached at the window of Malir district and found that the line at Malir district was longer then the lines at other districts. Around 15 persons were already standing in the line. I decided to enjoy while standing in the line and therefore kept enjoying views of cats of different ages and colors and sizes here and there. Sun was very hot ... uffff . . . haye, haye . . . uffff.

(@14:05)_Slowly, slowly the line moved forward and I receive my nenewed green Pakistani passport on my turn. Haye jamalo.

(@14:10)_I checked my new Pakistani green passport in detail. I checked data, photos etc. Every thing was fine so feeling happy I came out of the Regional Passport office Saddar.

(@14:20)_After coming outside the passport office I looked for the taxi I had come in and after finding it I returned home in the same taxi.

[Note: On the way back, I neither took photos, nor made videos, nor wrote any text.]

(@15:42)_I reached at my home very happy and satisfied.

.

(D)_Conclusion:

.

This is why and how I renewed my Pakistani green passport for the second time. Masha ALLAH. The main difference between this time and last time is my age and the cost of travel. Earlier the travel expenses were very less and I used to use bus for traveling and this time I used taxi and rickshaw along with bus even though the expenses were high. Now bus fares are also much higher than before. The process at the passport offices was much better than in the past.

My first green Pakistani passport expired in 2010 April 29 Thursday and in year 2013 I again started trying to renew it. For this purpose I first started visiting passport office situated at Awami markaz Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan to collect information about current requirements for renewing my green Pakistani passport. From passport office Awami markaz I got some different kind of information. For verifying the information I obtained from the Passport office Awami markaz I then also inquired with other passport seekers present there. I also went to Karachi city head office of Passport to further verify the information obtained from Passport Office Awami markaz.

.

The information I had received from both passport offices was that for some reason the issuance of new or renewed passports was on hold. Relevant office personals of both the Passport offices also told me to visit after at least 15 days to get the current update about the situation. I went to the Passport office Awami markaz after around one month and found that issuance of the new or renewed Passports was still on hold. But there was relatively good news also. That news was that instead of issuing new/renewed passport latest expired or expiring passport will get stamped with new issue date and expiry date written on it.

.

After getting the above information I simply went through the stages required for getting my now expired green Pakistani passport renewed via Pakistan passport office stamp. First, one day I went to the Passport head office of Karachi city and there payed the fees required for green Pakistani passport renewal and then Second after some days I went to the Passport city head office Karachi and submitted my passport for renewal. Then office personal at the same window told me to come after one month (I no longer remember exact time duration now) to the Passport city head office Karachi to get my renewed green Pakistani passport.

.

I did as instructed and after the date I was told to come, I went to Passport city head office Karachi but the person at the relevant window said that my passport has not been received yet. The person also told me that now I should come after two weeks to collect my passport. So I again went to Passport city head office Karachi, after the date I was told to come, and stood at the end of the line at the relevant window. The line was not long then and soon it was my turn and I got my renewed green Pakistani passport. I felt very jubilant after receiving my renewed green Pakistani passport.

.

On my both visits to the Passport city head office Karachi to collect my renewed green Pakistani passport I observed some unusual behavior of some of passport seekers. They were complaining that some countries were not accepting stamped passport and some were complaining that although they got visa but they were deported from the respective country because of the stamped passport. Passport office personals were saying that stamped passports are valid and authentic.

About 2 decades ago (2005), for the first time, I got an idea of getting the green Pakistani passport for me. For this purpose I started getting information about the stages involved in the process, from friends and family members. After collecting enough basic information about the work involved I decided to go to passport office of my city Karachi (Sindh, Pakistan). My idea was to get as much information as possible, from passport office also, before actually applying for my first Pakistani passport.

.

Therefore for collecting current information about passport office timings and stages involved in and documents required for and fees required for getting new Pakistani passport I went to the passport offices situated at the Sadder (head office) and Awami markez of Karachi city on different days.

.

It took a few days to get the required information from passport offices because there were too many people seeking information at the information window of the passport offices.

.

After collecting the required information I collected the required documents both in original and their photocopies. While surveying the passport offices, I had seen very long queues at bank branches for depositing the Pakistani passport fee. Keeping this fact in mind I decided to allocate a day for depositing the fee for getting new Pakistani passport.

.

So one day I went to Awami markaz to deposit fees for new Pakistani passport. Required bank branch was at upper floor, may be 1st or 2nd, of the Awami markaz and there the line of Pakistani passport fees depositors was long but not too long. At the bank branch the Pakistani passport fee depositor's line was moving a little slow but because we were indoors therefore it looked fine. After depositing the Pakistani passport fees I returned home.

.

A day or two after depositing the fee for the Pakistani passport, I went to the Passport office Awami markaz early in the morning with the original and photostat of the required documents and the fee chalan. At the passport office Awami markaz there was already a long line and I went to it and stood at it's end. Line slowly, slowly kept moving forward and when my turn came I went inside the passport office Awami markaz.

.

Inside the office I went through the various stages of submitting the application for my new Pakistani passport. The first stage was of biometric to verify that I and my CNIC belong to each other. After this stage there were many more stages like photography, data entry, document submission and interview etc. It took me almost a whole day from standing at the end of the line outside of passport office Awami markaz in the morning and getting out of the office in the evening.

.

After successfully submitting my application for my new Pakistani passport at the passport office Awami markaz, I returned home on the metro bus.

.

After some days (I no longer remember how many days) of submitting application for my new Pakistani passport at passport office Awami markaz, I went to the Passport office sadder (which is Pakistan passport head office for Karachi city) for collecting my first Pakistani passport. There I got the information that my passport is not arrived yet and that I must come after some days (I no longer remember how many days, may be one week). Therefore I returned home.

.

After required number of days I again went to Passport office Sadder Karachi and this time I got my first green Pakistani passport.

A few weeks ago, by chance, I saw a text conversation between two of my cousins ​​on Facebook. I kept reading that conversaion as a silent observer and didn't took part in it. There was a lot of text in the conversation.

.

After a while I wondered what I should do with this conversation. Then I thought that since there is so much text in the conversation, why not check that it uses all the English alphabets and all the digits of the decimal system.

.

At first I tried to do it manually but of course it was not an easy task nor was I interested in doing it manually at all costs. So I decided to create a software application in c# (c sharp) myself to solve this task.

.

Within few days I created the required application in c# (c sharp). I named the application as "CountInText". Longer version of the name of the application under discussion is "Count Tokens in Text file". During creation of the application I added some more features to it like punctuation, word and line count etc. It was a good timepass and it also reminded earlier days of my learning computer programming.

.

In the following I am going to explain the application under discussion in this blog entry (article) with the help of screenshots of the application at different stages of it's work.

China sheet maintenance by me - 230508Mo

China sheet maintenance by me

.

(My DIY activity at home while alone.)

.

Version: 230508Mo

.

Other versions Version Link nil No other versions so far.

.

On the relatively hot evening of 2023 May 04 Thursday, when I pressed the ceiling fan button on the china sheet electric board fixed on a wall of my bedroom, top of the button popped out. I fixed that back in it's place and found that it was still doing it's job on gentle press. To solve that problem myself I started searching on the net about how to solve the problem and found some simple and workable methods.

.

Therefore on 2023 May 08 Monday I went to the nearby market and brought the desired button of the same design from there. I found the matching button at the third shop I went to. First two shops I went to had simpler version of the button. Shopkeeper of the third shop was very kind person as, for me, he removed the required button from a new China sheet.

.

Just before I was about to start the button replacement work I got an idea of taking pictures of my work at every stage/step. Except for one or two stages I took pictures of all stages/steps. I missed those stages because I was too much concentrating on the work and totally forgot about taking photos of those stages/steps.

.

I am explaining my above mentioned work in the following with the help of text and photos. There were many distinct stages/steps of my work and I am discussing them all in separate sections in the following.

This image is preview of my DIY work I did while I was alone at home.

.

.

.

.

[ (1): Start ]

I took this photo at start of the work. By chance I got an idea of taking photos of my this DIY work. In this photo fan button can be seen in on position. I kept fan on during most of the work.

.

.

.

[ (2): Fan button's top removed ]

I removed top part of the fan button and this exposed a rectangular hole containing a smaller rectangular hole in it's middle. A copper like mettle part was visible inside the smaller hole. Surprisingly, whenever I touched the topside of that metal with the tester, the fan started running and whenever I touched the bottom side of that metal with the tester, the fan stopped running.

.

[ (2c): Button top's back side view ]

View of the fan button from it's back side.

.

.

.

[ (2d): Parts of button's top ]

After removing top part of the fan button I took it's photos from different angles. Fan button's top part was made of three parts. First white colored top made of thermosetting plastic. Second spring made of some metel. Third a small tube made of copper. First part is for switching fan on and off. Second part is for putting pressure on the third part. Third part is for making or breaking circuit.

[ (2d2): From top side ]

View of different parts of button's top part.

[ (3): Removing sheet cover ]

With the help of a beautiful electricity tester I started removing china sheet cover. Because it was first time that I was removing sheet cover therefore while removing the sheet cover, my main concern was that I should not even accidentally break it. Very slowly and very carefully I kept trying to remove the sheet cover.

.

[ (3a): Start ]

At start I was having problem in deciding from where to start removing the sheet cover but after trying from different places I started from one place.

.

.

.

[ (3b):  Middle ]

Gradually, the sheet started to come out of its place. I stayed as gentle as possible during this phase.

.

.

.

[ (3c): Complete ]

After trying and retrying I, in a few minutes, successfully removed China sheet cover in one piece. I was happy on that achievement of mine.

.

.

.

[ (4): Unscrewing sheet screws ]

After removing cover from the China sheet, I with the help of a beautiful electricity tester unscrewed sheet's both screws. This step was very easy.

.

[ (4a): Start ]

After selecting screw driver of the right type I started unscrewing the screws of the China sheet. Sheet had two screws and I used electric tester as a screw driver.

.

.

.

[ (4b) Complete ]

This step was very easy and I completed it relatively quickly.

.

.

.

[ (5): Observing Buttons and Circuits ]

After removing cover from the China sheet and unscrewing sheet's both screws I for some time observed sheet's back side view. I keenly observed it's different button's back side view and the electricity wiring because I was doing the maintenance work of China sheet for the first time. Changing buttons is not new to me; I am doing this type of home maintenance work since decades.
