Hello, dear friends! How is everyone doing? I hope you are all well and enjoying your time with your loved ones, no matter where you are. Today, I want to share another day of my life with you all. I hope you find some time to read my post and that you find it enjoyable enough to upvote.

It was Sunday today, and I had an off from the office. So did my friends, as they also work either in the government or private sector. Mainly, the two friends whom I was going to accompany today work in the private sector, and their working schedule is quite tough. They hardly get any time to spend with us, and for that reason, they had already told me a day before to keep myself free on Sunday, as they had planned to go to a restaurant to have some food together.

With that in the back of my mind, early in the day I got up and went to offer the morning prayers, to prostrate in reverence and offer the congregational prayers together with other people of the society. Only then did I make my supplications, and after finishing the prayers, I returned home straight away.

Now it was time to help my mother in the kitchen. As the temperature has started improving, staying warm is no longer an issue, because only upon getting inside the walls of the house do we feel a little relief, and we do not need the heater anymore, which otherwise used to be our companion throughout the harsh winter days.

Anyway, after I was done with breakfast, I went into my room and read a few chapters of Indian polity. Later in the noon, I also read a few chapters of Indian history. After having my lunch at around 1 PM, it was time to accompany my friends, as they were calling me again and again, repeatedly. So I left to meet them in the market.

To my surprise, I met another friend of mine with whom I have quite good terms. He started talking to me and didn’t finish early. Meanwhile, my friends started getting a little angry with me because I was delaying their plan. Eventually, we were done talking, and it was time to leave.

One of my friends came with his car, and we decided to head towards Srinagar, where we usually go during our holidays. This time, one of my friends decided to go to an Afghani restaurant located in the Sonwar area of Srinagar. On reaching there, I was quite impressed by the aesthetics of the place. The space, lighting, seating arrangement, and overall convenience for customers were quite unique.

Now it was time to order some mutton, especially Chapli kebab, which is a speciality of the restaurant. I particularly liked the Uzbeki pulao. We sat there in the traditional Kashmiri way, as space for that was available. We spent more than two hours there, enjoying the music, especially retro Bollywood songs. After finishing the special Afghani food, we ordered some masala tea. Later, we paid a bill of around 500 Steem and left.

While travelling to and from the restaurant, it was quite enjoyable, riding along the road located just below the beautiful mountains, which is a speciality of the area and makes the journey enjoyable.

Later, it was time to return back home because we received news of a tragic incident that had claimed the life of one of our teacher’s fathers, who was also a relative of my friend. He was called by his parents to return home quickly to be present for the last rites. We returned without stopping anywhere and drove straight back home. Upon reaching our place, the body was being taken to the burial ground. We stayed there for some time and then returned home.
