The Diary Game || date: 21.04.2025 || Today was a very rainy day.
Assalamu Alaikum dear, Greetings to all from my motherland Bangladesh and a warm welcome to my blog for another session on the topic of my daily lifestyle content.
I woke up in the sweet morning to the sound of the call to prayer. So I performed ablution to pray the Fajr prayer. After praying, my phone was out of charge, so I charged it and spent some time on the Steemit platform. The atmosphere was very dark since this morning, with lightning flashing every now and then. It seemed like it would rain in a while, the sky was cloudy. I like this kind of weather the most. I took out my phone and went to the east side of my house where I noticed that the sky had turned black over the trees. A kind of unwritten silence had descended around. The sky was bluish-gray in color, yet a soft light was spreading over the grass in the field. The birds were still chirping, the leaves of the trees were swaying in the light wind.
A picture of a cloudy environment
I walked a little further from there, where there was an open sky. Suddenly, the wind changed a little. A strange smell spread, the smell of wet soil, unripe mangoes, and dust mixed with smoke in the distance.
The birds suddenly stopped, the leaves of the trees started shaking a little more loudly. I was walking alone past the rice fields of the village. There was a kind of coolness in the air and a strange excitement as if something was going to happen.
The phone's camera was on. The rice plants were swaying in the wind as if someone was making them dance rhythmically. There was greenery all around, and a touch of peace was visible to the eyes. I immediately captured such a scene for a while.

Suddenly, the wind started blowing hard. At first, I thought it was a slight gust of wind. But in an instant, the sky turned black, as if an invisible giant had swallowed the sun. The trees suddenly started dancing recklessly, and the rice grains started shaking together in a strange tune.
I still had the camera on. The sound of the wind, the swaying of the trees, and the dancing of the rice all combined to create a living poem before my eyes. I made a video to explain the sound of such an environment to you, and I have provided its YouTube link.
I was taking a video and my clothes were flying in the gust of wind, dust was getting in my eyes and face, but I was not putting down the camera. It seemed that if this moment was lost, it would never come back. Then the sky screamed with lightning. The clouds roared as if nature itself was roaring.

I enjoyed this moment for a while. Then I thought to myself that maybe this is a sign of our upcoming Baisakhi storm. At such moments, we always have to stay in a safe place. Because lightning always flashes overhead and many people die in our area due to this lightning. That is why I always want to be careful. Although it was raining lightly at that time, I captured such a moment. At this moment, I put together the small videos I had made, made a nice video, and uploaded it to YouTube.
Taking in the breath of nature's air
There was a strong lightning flash in the sky, so I cautiously came home and stayed in my room. Before I could close the door and take a breath, the window pane shook with a loud noise, and I realized that the storm had arrived right behind me. I went to the balcony, opened the window and looked at the sky.
The surroundings were covered in deep darkness. It was morning, but it seemed that evening had fallen. The clouds in the sky were as black as stone. A silence suddenly descended. The birds no longer sang, the leaves of the trees stopped moving, and even the wind seemed to be holding its breath. This silence seemed to spread an invisible fear inside the room. The sky was terribly dark and cloudy.
The sky is covered with black clouds.
When the time passed noon, it suddenly started to rain. Then suddenly I heard the sound of the first drops of rain falling by the window. A strange feeling spread through my heart. Standing between the excitement before the storm and the touch of the soft rain now, I couldn't quite decide whether to be more afraid or happy. I quickly took my mobile phone in my hand and turned on the camera. I wanted to capture the sound of the raindrops falling on the tin roof and the small pearls of water accumulating on the leaves of the distant trees. That first raindrop moment was captured on video.
Capture raindrops in slow motion
A lot of time passed like this. It rained almost until the afternoon because it rained after a long time. The raindrops were falling rhythmically all around. But I stopped and stretched my hand out towards the rain. The first drop fell on the back of my hand. A cold, soft and very alive feeling. As if the sky itself was touching me.
I then turned on my mobile camera and set it to slow motion mode. I held my hand high towards the sky and as each drop rolled down, that unique scene was captured in the camera frame. The water drops bounced and rolled down again, touching the skin, as if each drop was saying something.
Catching raindrops by shaking my hands
The wind blowing in the background, the swaying of the trees and a piece of silence, I was not just capturing that moment, I was living it. While making the video, it felt like these few seconds of slow motion were captured in one of the most peaceful and profound moments of my life. Anyway, in the afternoon, I went to the mosque and prayed Asr. This is how I spent the afternoon beautifully because it was not too hot today. Then, after praying in the evening, I came home and had a drink that I made myself. It was basically made from an energy saline called SMC Fruity.
Small mini packs of saline to prevent dehydration
This is a saline solution that will remove my dehydration throughout the day and act as an energy drink. After spending some time like this, I saw that my phone was dead so I charged it for a while. In the meantime, I went to the mosque, prayed, came home and had a small meal at night. Suddenly, load shedding started so I could not do any work. That's why I lay down and fell asleep around 10:30 PM.
