As usual, I got up very early in the morning. After getting up, I straightaway went to offer my prayers after performing ablution to purify myself for the morning prayer. It is an obligation for us to pray five times a day, and the morning prayer is considered quite important. Before every prayer, we need to purify ourselves, which is an essential part of the prayer. We believe that performing ablution with cold water in such cold temperatures carries great rewards, as it is never easy.

After completing the morning prayers and making supplications, I returned to my place and went straight to bed to get some more sleep. It was actually an escape from the cold atmosphere. At breakfast time, I got up and joined my parents in the dining room and had breakfast with them. It was an off day, and now it was time to have some fun at home.

My parents needed to visit a family that had lost their grandmother a few days earlier. It is a tradition here to visit such families to console them and pay condolences, usually for three or four days. As my parents had to leave, I drove them in my car to one of my uncle’s houses, from where my uncle took the car and accompanied them to their destination. I then returned home.

While on my way back, I met my friends, and we decided to go for a short escape into the woods where we could also enjoy some snacks. We stayed there for some time, but one of our friends, who was supposed to bring his car, had to leave for a relative’s house due to some important work. As a result, our plan was spoiled and turned out to be a flop, so we decided to return home.

I waited for my parents to return, and later in the day, when they came back, I went with them to one of our orchards. We needed to look after the trees, as they required some attention because they had started turning slightly black due to insects, and we needed to find out what was wrong and what the remedy should be. We took it not only as a task but also as an opportunity to spend some time in nature and assess what was required.

The orchard is located on the top of a hill near our house. It was a beautiful evening, and I enjoyed every moment there. The setting sun spread warm light over the fog-covered residential areas below the hill, creating beautiful scenes that I tried to capture with my camera, though it couldn’t capture clear views.

Later, we returned home. On the way, I stopped midway to sit with some acquaintances and spend time with them, as we were meeting after a long time due to our busy work schedules. Because of this, I returned home later in the day, had my dinner, and then went to sleep in my cold bedroom.

Thank you for going through my post. Have a great time ahead.
