The Diary Game: "The ways of life"

Yesterday I got up at half past five in the morning. As it is summer here, the heat is very high. However, we don't feel the heat because of the wind, and it's cool in the morning. As soon as I woke up I went upstairs and did some walking and breathing exercises. Then, I went downstairs and cleaned up the surroundings. After that, I watered the plants. After showering I went to the kitchen and started cooking the morning meal. I made egg masala and chapatis for morning cooking.

To make the egg masala, I first boiled the potatoes with just the egg. While it was cooking, I chopped the onions and tomatoes and sauteed them in a pan with oil, mustard, and spices. Then I mixed them with soy sauce, turmeric powder, salt, chili powder and everything.

After that, I peeled and mashed the boiled potatoes and mixed them in. After that, I peeled the boiled eggs and cut them in half and mixed them together and covered them with a glass of water. After five minutes, the egg masala was ready. Then when everyone got ready we all had breakfast together.

Yesterday one of our neighbors had a family function and they invited us for it. So, we got ready to go. Only I, my husband and son went, my daughter refused to come to the function as she had to study for her entrance exam. So, the three of us got ready and went to the party hall. This function is performed exclusively in South India. This ceremony is held to give responsibilities to the female children in the family, when they grow up.

When we enterd to the hall, it was crowded. Everyone was taking photos with the girl on stage. We also waited for a while and then when it was our turn we also went and took a photo with them. Then we went to the dining hall. Lunch was served there. Both vegetarian and non-vegetarian were served and we had the non-vegetarian buffet. Dishes like chicken gravy, mutton biryani, fish fry, chukka chicken, eggs were served and we loved and enjoyed them.

After the function, we said goodbye to them and left. On the way I had to buy some summer clothes. So we went to a big cloth store there. Since it was noon, the shop was not that crowded. And the climate outside was so hot that people avoided going out in the afternoon. When we went to the store the store was empty with no people.

We first went to the womens wear section and picked out my nighties. Then, I went to the boys section and selected a banyan and inner wear for my son. Similarly, I went to the men's section and selected inner wear for my husband. All of them add up to 1400 rupees. Then we paid the bill and left. We went to the nearest grocery store and visited the fruits there. Watermelon, Mosambi mango, and muskmelon were kept there and we bought only one melon and came home.

After coming home, I changed my clothes, Then, I peeled off the mask I had bought, cut it into small pieces, put them in a mixer jar, added sugar, a little pinch of salt, and ice cubes, and crushed them to make fruit juice.

I poured those fruit juices in glass tumblers and served them to everyone, I also drank them. A cold drink was very pleasant for the sunburn. My son bought it twice and sipped it. Everyone complimented that the juice was really good and I was happy.

After that I went to the kitchen and started cooking for the night. Working hours for late night cooking. and coconut chutney. And was making sambar. Later, we all had dinner together. After dinner my husband was watching IPL match. My son and daughter were playing in their room. After a short nap I sat down at the computer and finished my yesterday's tasks on Steemit. Thus yesterday was very good for me. I thank God for this good day.
