"Weekly Contest 70 || The Diary Game ||11/09/2026|| A somewhat busy day ."

Assalamu Alaikum. I hope everyone is doing well; Alhamdulillah, I am doing well too. Today, I want to share a glimpse of a day in my life. Every day offers us new lessons, and we try to live the rest of our lives guided by those insights. Life is essentially about the struggles and the various situations we navigate alongside our families.

Like any other day, I woke up early this morning and prepared breakfast—a responsibility that falls to me. After making breakfast and serving it to my mother-in-law, I went straight to help the children with their studies. I spent about an hour tutoring them before returning to my room; I truly enjoy the time I spend teaching them.

Saving is crucial in our lives. Since emergencies strike without warning, I decided to start saving—albeit on a small scale—for the first time. I initiated this savings plan through the BRAC office, depositing just 300 Taka each month into an eight-year insurance scheme; today, that eight-year term has concluded. I was able to withdraw the full amount, and Alhamdulillah, I received a substantial sum—marking my very first significant saving. I went to the office to process the withdrawal and collected the money from there.

Since there was a sudden spell of rain around midday, I cooked Bhuna Khichuri and beef for lunch. As soon as I got home, I freshened up and prepared the meal; afterwards, I bathed the child and then took a shower myself. After offering the Dhuhr prayers, we all sat down to eat together. It was pouring rain outside while we ate, and the combination of the rain and the aroma of the Khichuri and beef made for a truly delightful midday meal.

After finishing my meal, I rested for a while; when I got up, I realized it was already late afternoon. I had some pomelo—a fruit I absolutely love for its blend of mild sweetness and tartness. It stimulates the appetite, and I really enjoy the taste. I first prepared a portion for my child, and then I had some myself, as the fruit is rich in Vitamin C and very beneficial for our health.

Then evening arrived. After the Maghrib call to prayer, I spent some time talking to my husband on the phone. He told me he has a live-fire exercise coming up on the 17th. Hearing this made me quite upset, as the mere mention of live-fire drills scares me now; I urged him to complete the training with great caution. Please keep me and my family in your prayers.

Regarding my day's activities—Alhamdulillah—I had a wonderful time. See you again in the next post. Allah Hafiz.

I am inviting my friends.
