I wish all are you are in good health and spirit observing safe and joyous moments through the grace of Almighty ALLAH. Alhamdulillah I am also fine. Today I would like to describe a typical day of my life and show how it was full of working around the house and going out. Today was a beautiful Monday. When, after four celebration days of Durga Puja, my husband got up early and left for work, I was ready to follow the course of our day. As is usually the case in the morning – I woke up early, washed up and then went to prepare some breakfast.

Therefore, I opted for a just simple meal of alu vaji and ruti because each always makes the start of my day warmer and comforting. As I took my breakfast, I also anticipated taking a cup of tea which is quite important because it makes a little difference to kick start with the day. And it was so comforting to watch the steam curling up from the cup, knowing that for the moment, everything was okay, and time to sit and enjoy my drink before the new wave of activity would come.

After I was done with the morning chores, I hung out with my little one. Laughter, jokes and some formidable gags which makes my morning interesting moments to be always looked forward to. Such times are delightful and help me feel so refreshed that I can get up and face the world again.

Subsequently I went back to the kitchen to supervise preparation of lunch for my hubby. Today we had a planned lunch outing by our squadron bhabis which introduced a positive change in the monotonous schedule.

After I had cooled off in the bathroom and was fully dressed for the wash, I was glad to be going out with my bhabis. Next we went to a restaurant that sells authentic Bengali food. The restaurant was alive, and full of people eating with their families and the sound of joyful talking. We also added duck curry, chicken curry and various vorta and last but not the least ‘khichuri and khuder vaat.’ The food was tasty and stomach filling and the environment was quite interesting and full of sound of plates and people’s voices. We concluded our short but healthy and filling lunch date with the ladies and went back home.

When evening came I started making preparations for the community meeting that we had planned. This was an official occasion and I thought that I should dress appropriately for the occasion. I specially chose my beautiful nice dressing code and after dressing I felt immediate happiness along with some level of anxiety.

When we got to the venue there were lots of friendly people; everyone was in high spirit, and there was a lot of unity. People always love to socialize, and it was nice when we could find people from our community, make new friends and to listen to what people have to go through. This was all mixed with laughter, deep and spiritual conversations, and a couple of serious, but very inspiring and touching thoughts about our everyday lives. As time went on we were able to capture many of these precious moments in Pictures as we enjoyed being with each other. Time for dinner was over and a delicious meal was set on the table in the middle of the constant cheerful conversations.

Once the program ended, we went home, ending what was a picturesque day doing household chores followed by outdoor activities. During my time in bed pondering about the day it made me feel like I have accomplished so much. It then made me realize how life is very beautiful even on simple random day full of laughter, fun and connections.
