Moth(er) SolOrchid – IMRAN®

I was struck by the deep, vibrant hues of this solo moth orchid — a delicate garnish on my Japanese lunch today. To let its colors speak in the photograph, I placed it on a plain white paper napkin.

From what I’ve read, this purple-and-white beauty is likely a hybrid from the Phalaenopsis genus, celebrated for its elegant, long-lasting blooms that resemble moths mid-flight.

Sedated K2 Chilling Watching Another Dog At Veterinarian Office - IMRAN®

K2 was given some tablets overnight and in the morning so he’d be chill and more cooperative in having X-rays taken without resisting the physical manipulation needed. He was plopped on the couch but still actively watching another dog across the waiting room.

Thought For Food: Convenient Cuisine, Pretty Pineapple Salsa Salmon, Midnight-Marinated Lemon Wasabi Friday Feast — IMRAN®

I love being HappilySingle™. I love eating—as my waistline and double chin have attested to for decades. 😀 But I’ve always hated, and mostly avoided, actual cooking. Grilling a burger or steak? Absolutely. And thanks to the fabulous convenience of air fryers, salmon and more? That, I can live with.

A salmon dish was my very first experiment with the excellent Philips XXL Air Fryer a few years ago. To my surprise, it turned out better than almost every salmon I’d ordered at even the best restaurants. Since then, I’ve experimented most with salmon, using a variety of ingredients. Each version has been different, and each one has been delicious.

This one was marinated overnight in wasabi, ginger, lemon, olive oil, soy sauce, black pepper, and mustard. I topped it with pineapple salsa and sour cream for visual flair and flavor. The tiny olive slices, each with a dollop of mustard, were a spontaneous experiment in taste and presentation. The result? A definite A++ meal and — as always — one I’m grateful to the Almighty for providing.

K2 on All Fours, Bird on One, Both Keeping Watch Across the Gulf Of “MaxiPhone”, Late Night Late Summer Sunday - IMRAN®

Three-second long exposure, handheld iPhone 16 Pro Max. My German Shepherd K2 sat on the broken boardwalk, facing an indigenous bird sitting on the dock across the water. The bird balanced on one leg, both eyes fixed on the dog. K2 returned the gaze, unmoving. Two creatures. Two stances. One silent standoff.

Kennedy & K2 Loved Winter Playtime At Apollo Beach Home Tampa Bay Beach In Winter 2023 - IMRAN®

A cherished memory from the winter of 2023, when life with Kennedy and K2 was full of joy and quiet moments.

It was February 3—just two weeks before K2’s third birthday, and the fourth anniversary of Kennedy arriving at his forever home.

Tampa Bay that morning was a portrait of serenity. And this moment became one to hold onto forever.

Thought For Food: First Time Trying Out A Dish In First Time At Desi Restaurant In Bradenton - IMRAN®

This past Sunday marked my first time in Bradenton in quite a while. As the evening grew late, I decided to stop for dinner before heading home. I passed a Desi restaurant I had never visited before and chose to try it—my first time at that establishment.

Once seated, I faced a familiar decision: Chicken Tikka Masala (right), is a staple in my visits to Pakistani or meat-serving Indian restaurants. But I also wanted to try something new. The menu offered a sweet mango chicken dish, which briefly caught my attention. However, I prefer the sharper, more traditional Pakistani pickled mango chicken—unavailable here.

Instead, I opted for the staff’s recommendation: a yogurt-based chicken dish with herbs and spices (left). It was my first time trying that preparation. The dish was acceptable, though not memorable. Still, the overall food quality and service were quite good, making the experience worthwhile.

iPhone Selfie • Meta Ray-Ban • JFK • Springtime NY Home Visit — IMRAN®

I’ve favored Ray-Ban aviators since my teen years in Pakistan—sleek, timeless, and unapologetically cool. But today’s smart glasses demand more: batteries, cameras, mics, speakers… all crammed into frames that lean more Clark Kent than Top Gun.

This was the only form factor that offered the color-shifting lenses and tech I needed. A compromise in style, maybe—but not in capability & options.
