The diary game. A Day Shaped by congregational Prayer, Work, Friendship, and Simple Joys

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.

I was quick to get up very early in the morning, as I have a habit of rising early. I have been an early bird for ages now, and I hardly hesitate to get out of bed. After purifying myself by performing ablution, I went for prayer. It actually gave me peace, and I spent a good one hour in the nearby mosque, which was the best part of my day. I love staying there; it is quiet, peaceful, and positive, and it helps me maintain and create a strong connection with the divine.

Only after being done with prayers and making supplications did I head back towards my place and straightaway went to bed again because it was so cold outside and doing anything outdoors would have been difficult. I got up again when breakfast was ready, and after having it quickly, I got ready for the office. I finished wearing my winter clothes and set off, as it was already a little late. I took the shortcut route towards my office and reached there in just half an hour, after which I straightaway got down to work. I continued my work till the afternoon and completed my target.

As I am involved in checking and verifying the data already uploaded on the portal, the pending work was completed by afternoon, and then it was time to leave for the congregational Friday prayers. As soon as I stepped out of my office, I realised that I could make it back home in time and offer the congregational prayer in my native village. I drove fast through the shortcut route again and reached home well within time. I offered prayers in my nearby local mosque, where I also met my friends.

After that, it was time to spend some moments with friends in the local market, where we usually enjoy our time together. After staying there for a while and sharing some quality moments, I headed towards the outskirts of the village to play cricket. This was another opportunity to burn some extra calories. I prioritise playing cricket these days, as I cannot do morning exercises because of the cold, and this serves as an alternate option for calorie burning. I usually go to the cricket ground with the young lads and prefer fielding in a position where I need to run across a large area to collect the ball. That is my preference and something I truly enjoy. I had checked my weight a few days earlier and found myself a little overweight, which is another reason I prefer playing instead of staying idle at home.

Later, upon returning, I spent some time with my pet cat. As soon as I sat in the lawn, she came over and started rubbing herself against me. It was so lovely that I couldn’t help but pat her back. It was a beautiful feeling, as I realised that love never goes in vain. Whenever you express love to any being, it is returned in some form, and this was the moment when I truly felt that. I realised that I am never alone; those whom I love would always be there with me and would never let me walk alone.

After spending some time with my pet, I went inside, had a cup of tea, and started reading some engineering books till the evening. Later, I went to the market to buy groceries and other items. By the time I returned, it was already quite late. I then had dinner with my family members. After interacting with friends on social media and catching up on what was going around, I went to sleep and called it a day.

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