Today, I had a lot of things to do as I had already planned to spray plant growth regulators over all the orchards located in the vicinity of the village I live in. For that reason, I was quite concerned about timing, as these regulators need to be applied only at the time of full bloom. I got up very early in the morning and started my day with morning prayers. By praying, I embraced positivity for the day and returned only after making supplications.

Upon reaching home, I went straight to the backyard to do some work, as the temperature has improved a lot now and staying outside in the morning isn’t difficult anymore. Unlike in winter, when the temperature had dropped significantly below zero, working out in the backyard was difficult. That’s why there was a pause in my workouts, but now I have started again, and I am happy that I dedicate some part of my day to staying fit.

Then it was time to enter the kitchen and help my mother with the morning chores. I had my breakfast, and after finishing it, I started making preparations and collected all the essentials needed for spraying the plant growth regulators in the apple orchards. The battery-driven pump had to be checked for its charge, and I felt it wasn’t fully charged, so I kept it on charge for some time so that it wouldn’t drain out before I finished the work.

After some time, I started my journey towards one of my orchards located on the western side of the village. I needed to finish the work today, so I was quite quick. I reached the orchard, collected water from a nearby stream, and sprayed the regulators on the apple trees.

After returning from there, I needed to go towards the eastern side of the village, where again I had to spray the regulators in one of the biggest orchards we have. I took my brother with me, who wasn’t feeling well at all due to a severe headache, but I still needed his presence there to help me with some minor work. Most of the work I did myself, but his presence made me feel content. We went there by car and took the necessary items with us. My little cousin, who shares a strong bond with me, also accompanied us. He stayed there, observed things, and played for some time while I was spraying the regulators on the trees.

Unfortunately, midway, the battery pump stopped working because the battery drained, and it was time to head back home again to charge it. While I put the pump on charge, I also had my lunch. Later, I again went to the same orchard, finished the job there, and returned.

Then it was time to head towards another orchard located at the top of the hill. For that, I needed another person’s presence, so I took my father with me. We went by car, as going to such distant orchards on foot with equipment would have been difficult. We finished our work there by the evening. Because of the rain yesterday, the roads were muddy, and it was difficult to drive, so I drove very carefully and slowly until we reached home.

After returning, it was time to freshen up and take a bath. Only then did I have a cup of tea. Later, I went to the market to buy some fruits and other items needed at home. The shop is run by my friend, so I spent some time there with him. Being with my friends feels like a recharge, as it not only refreshes me but also helps me relax.

Later, I returned home, and after checking things around, I had my dinner. Unfortunately, for the past few days, I have not been able to read even a single page of my books, and I hope I will be able to read again in the same manner as I used to earlier. After spending some time on social media, I went to sleep and called it a day.
