The Diary game. Balancing Duty and Devotion in Ramadan

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 holiest month of the lunar calendar, with Muslims all over the world engaged in good deeds such as charity, inviting others for meals, and helping the poor by providing them with food or clothing, in addition to fulfilling other religious tenets. It is a month full of blessings, and people capitalize on this opportunity by engaging in such deeds, as I mentioned above.

Today, I had set the alarm for 4 AM, but going to bed very late at night didn’t let me wake up on time. Eventually, after procrastinating for some time, I couldn’t contain myself in bed and forced myself to get up at 4:35 AM. Upon waking up, I went straight to perform ablution and purify myself for the religious rites that were to follow. First, I went to the dining room to have my pre-dawn meal. After finishing the meal, I waited for the call to prayer and then went for the morning prayers at the nearby mosque. After completing the early prayers, I headed back home to sleep again, as I hadn’t been able to complete my rest earlier.

I got up at 9 AM, got ready for the office, and then first headed to the village to make people aware of the last date for registering under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) housing scheme. I have already registered a good number of beneficiaries for the scheme, but I’m still not satisfied because the area is quite poor, and many people are not aware of such schemes. As a result, they do not approach them to the extent that would make me feel satisfied.

I pasted notices on mosque doors since people visit mosques multiple times throughout the day, and seeing those notices on the walls can help communicate the message quickly. Around 1 PM, my boss called me to the office for some other tasks, such as processing bills. As we are in the last few days of the financial year, we need to process all expenditure bills for the current financial year.

Being busy with bill processing throughout the rest of the day, I was able to process more than half of the bills assigned to me, and I was quite satisfied with the amount of work I had done. I had completed the major chunk of my work, leaving only the remaining half to be done the next day.

These days, we are heavily involved in processing bills for the works executed throughout the block in this financial year. To ensure that no bills spill over into the next financial year, we are committed to booking all expenditures before the current financial year ends. The executing agencies and private contractors also remain present in the office to fulfill any necessary obligations on time, ensuring that the bills are processed without unnecessary delays.

Late in the day, I reached home a bit late because we left the office quite late, around 6 PM. Upon reaching home, I went straight into making preparations for Iftar, the breaking of the fast. After offering the evening prayers, I had an early dinner, followed by the special Ramadan prayers, Taraweeh. After that, I returned home to retire to bed and call it a day.

It was all about my day.Thank you for going through my post. Have a great time ahead.
