The diary game. Unplanned Evening Trip to Charar-e-Sharief After an Early Winter Morning

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.

Only because of the habit I have of rising early in the morning, I stuck to it and didn’t hesitate to get out of my bed very early. Without even caring about the temperature outside, I got up, performed ablution, and then went to offer the morning prayers. In this way, I started my day with an activity that helps me establish a divine connection with the Almighty and embrace peace and a strong energy of prosperity. It also helps me stay positive and committed throughout the day. It is my secret for helping myself with divine energy.

Returning from the mosque, I headed back towards my bed straightaway and didn’t let the cold temperature outside alarm me. I stayed there in my bed for some time till the breakfast was ready, and it was around 9 AM when I had my breakfast with other family members. Then it was time to get ready and leave for office. I took a shortcut route to the office and was there in about 40 minutes. I straightaway got into my daily routine work without giving any room to laziness because of the cold. I have been assigned a new task of verifying digital records that the lower-level officials are forwarding. I am working at the intermediate level with the responsibility of verifying the records, going through them properly, and then passing them further to the higher-ups to approve and put them in the public domain. I did my work quite meticulously and with good pace so that I could accomplish my assignment on time.

Later in the afternoon, I returned home, and again while coming back, I took a shortcut route towards my place and didn’t go along the long route because of the damaged bridge in Chadoora town, which has resulted in elongation of the route towards my place. For that reason, I had to cross the stream via a new bridge constructed well below the Chadoora town. It was late afternoon when I reached home, and now it was time to meet my friends in the main market. While I was on my way, my friends had already gathered there, and it was my time to meet them. While we met, we decided to leave for a trip. I returned home first and had some tea so that I could refresh myself. Just after that, I left in my car to pick up my friends from the main market and then leave.

It was an unplanned trip, and while we were on our way towards our destination somewhere in Srinagar, we decided to head towards the famous Sufi saint’s shrine, Charar-e-Sharief, located at a distance of about 20 km from our village via the long route, but only 3–4 km away if the shortcut route is opted. We decided to go via the shortcut, and within about 20 minutes we were there. We had decided to offer the evening prayers there. Upon reaching, it was still early and there was enough time left for the evening prayers, so we decided to first have a cup of tea in a local restaurant. We spent some time there, and then the evening call for prayer was given from the main mosque of the shrine.

It was now time to head towards the mosque. So much peace and positivity were reflected from every corner of the place. Being very attached to the shrine, I felt overwhelmed by the blessings in the air. After the prayers were over, and after making supplications and crying in front of the Almighty, I left, as my friends had already left the mosque and I thought they would be waiting for me outside. I also got out of the mosque and headed towards the parking area where I had parked my car earlier. Now it was time to leave. After a quick stop to buy some items from the town, we left towards the Charar town where we had planned to eat something together.

On reaching there, we decided to have some fried fish in one of the famous restaurants. As it was already late, we ordered our food and waited. After a little while it was served. We had our food together and then headed back towards our place. Only after having a late dinner did I go to my room to sleep and refresh myself for the next day.

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