The Diary game. A Day of Fieldwork, Scenic Captures, Fasting, and Spiritual Reflections
Greetings, dear friends, how are you all? I hope you all are fine and enjoying your day. I wish for you all good health, wealth and a prosperous time ahead. Today I am here to share with you yet another day of my life and I hope you all will get time to read and know about one more day of my life and also find it worthwhile to read and vote.
We are in the last phase of the holiest month of the Islamic calendar, Ramadan. As a Muslim, I am worried about the month coming to a conclusion, as its countdown has started. I will definitely miss its vibes—the sense of being blessed, the strong feeling of compassion for others, concern for the poor and destitute, the spirit of charity and donating whatever one has, and also encouraging others to share meals, whether at Suhoor or Iftar.
This month brings many bounties, and one can truly feel a divine connection with its onset. Today again, I got up early in the morning to be on time in the dining room for the pre-dawn meal. After waking up, I went straight to prepare myself for the rituals I was about to take part in.
At the beginning of the month, having a meal so early in the morning felt a little awkward due to the sudden change in lifestyle. However, as the days passed, I have now completely acclimatized and grown accustomed to these changes. Everything seems normal now; it has become a habit. Even if I forget to set an alarm for the morning, my eyes open on their own without any wake-up call.
After finishing the pre-dawn meal, I went off for morning prayers at the nearby mosque. Upon finishing the prayers, I headed straight back home to get a second spell of sleep.
I got up at 9 AM, after which I got ready for the office and then headed towards the village. I have been posted here to oversee daily activities and complete the tasks assigned to me in this last phase of March, the final month of the financial year.
Throughout the day, I was involved in registering beneficiaries for the PMAY housing scheme, going from one place to another to capture photographs of their current residences and propose locations for their new houses, for which they might receive financial assistance from the government. Additionally, I had other assignments, such as registering beneficiaries for rooftop solar installations—an initiative aligned with sustainable development goals. This initiative aims to generate electricity without relying on fossil fuels, ultimately reducing pollution. For this scheme, the government is providing subsidies for the installation of rooftop solar panels, and I have observed great enthusiasm among people, as it seems to be a cost-effective solution for them.
It was a tiring day for me, as I had to manage multiple tasks simultaneously. Since the village is spread over hilly terrain, I had to walk considerable distances to complete my work, whether for the housing scheme or the rooftop solar project. While fasting, carrying out such exhausting tasks is no less than a challenge. However, as a dedicated official, I hardly feel fatigued by my assignments.
While I was on my way home later in the day, my eyes were drawn to the breathtaking snowy mountains in the backdrop of the village. The view was so captivating that I couldn’t move on. I got out of my car and captured a few photographs to preserve the beauty I had just witnessed. The combination of beautiful weather and such a stunning landscape in the background of the village was something I truly cherished, and the sight will remain vivid in my memory for a long time.
Upon reaching home, I began preparations for breaking the fast. After finishing, I realized there was still plenty of time left, so I went to water the lawn. Later, after breaking the fast, I offered the evening prayers and had an early dinner. Today, I was so exhausted that I couldn’t offer the special Ramadan prayers, Taraweeh, and went to sleep a little earlier than usual.
It was all about my day.Thank you for going through my post. Have a great time ahead.
