Today again, I got up very early in the morning because I had to offer the morning prayers, and to oblige the divine decree, I got up and purified myself for the prayers. I started my day by offering the obligatory prayers, embracing peace and a positive vibe. After making supplications, I headed back and went straight to bed to sleep for some more time. As the temperature has dropped below zero, staying outside or doing physical exercise is quite difficult and not recommended, as doctors have been advising people to stay indoors because cold weather makes people more susceptible to various health issues.

After a few hours, I freshened up again and then had breakfast. Today, my breakfast was at around 10 AM. I went to see my cousin at my maternal home, and before going there, I visited a nearby shop where I had bought some eggs yesterday. I had left some amount unpaid, so I stopped there first to settle it. Then I headed towards my maternal home with my cousin. As soon as we reached back home, my cousin began playing there, and meanwhile, I had my lunch while he was busy playing outside in the lawn.

Later in the afternoon, I had to go to one of our orchards, and this time I took a shortcut route that crossed a small playground where we used to play during our childhood. As I passed that patch of land, old memories came back to me. I had a glimpse of my childhood and could recall the days when we spent most of our time on that ground, playing cricket, doing other activities, and doing whatever we wished back then.

I spent some time in my orchard to check the apple trees and inspect whether any rodents had attacked the plants. In this season, when the temperature dips, rodents start migrating deeper into the earth, and while moving down into the lower layers, they cut through the roots. This root damage causes the apple trees to dry up and also affects production.

Later, I returned home, after which my mother sent me to buy some groceries and other items from the village market. While I was out, I enjoyed my time with my friends. I usually buy things from one of my friends who runs a shop in the main market, and not only does this strengthen our bond, but it also helps him economically to earn his livelihood.

I spent my entire evening out in the village and came back home at around 8:30 PM, after which I had my dinner. After finishing my dinner, I sat in the living room with other family members, and these days, we usually sit there because the room stays warm. Later, at around 11:30 PM, we all went to sleep.
