Betterlife - The Diary Game | 26 December, 2025 | A winter friday..

Hello friends, I hope you are all doing well. Winter has arrived, and you might have already started feeling the cold in your area. With the last week of December beginning here, the mornings are so foggy that visibility is quite low.

Since there was no work pressure this holiday, I went to the field behind our house where I used to play all day during my childhood. I saw a lot of fog on the field, but seeing the local juniors playing cricket instantly brought back my childhood memories and enjoyed jhalmuri.

As it was Friday, I took a bath and returned home after performing the Jumah prayers on time. Since the days are very short in winter, it’s best to head out right after lunch if you plan to travel, it helps in making the most of the available time.

I planned a trip to my favorite beach, Akilpur, with a local friend. This beach area is quite vast, so we visit different sections at different times to explore new views. This week, we went to a new spot that was, in a word, very very beautiful.

While other parts of the beach were crowded with tourists, I went to the very end of the beach where there was hardly anyone. Watching the sea in such a peaceful and secluded environment has a unique charm. The view was so beautiful that you can't truly feel it without seeing it with your own eyes.

I enjoyed the beach from up close for quite some time. After walking a bit, I went to a shop to get something to eat. I ordered Muri Makha (spiced jhalmuri with lots of ingredients) and special beach Peyaju platter. Eating these snacks while watching the waves was very enjoyable.

At the end of the day, I witnessed a beautiful sunset. In that moment, I forgot all the sorrows of life and felt a deep sense of peace. I returned home before evening. At night, I attended a relative's wedding.

The wedding was held at a community center where I went with my family. Everyone calls this the wedding season because most people organize their ceremonies during this time. After dinner, I spent some time socializing there.

After returning home, I freshened up and got ready for bed. It felt great to spend such quality time on a holiday. Spending a day like this during the week makes the remaining days feel much more refreshing.
