The Diary Game || date: 24.04.2025 || The afternoon passed with the sunrise.

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.

One fine morning, I woke up, brushed my teeth, and performed ablution. Then, after morning prayers, I went out for a walk. The morning was like a dream. The only silence around was the sound of birds' wings and the gentle breeze. I was standing in front of a vast paddy field covered in greenery. The first rays of the sun fell right on my face, soft, warm, and life-giving. The dewdrops on the paddy leaves were sparkling in the sunlight like tiny diamonds. The light scent of raw paddy was floating in the air, which touched my heart silently.

In the morning, I was standing there for a while enjoying the sunlight and I was chatting with my younger brother. At that moment, I felt like I should come home and have breakfast. So, after coming home and having breakfast, I was lying in my room and spending time on Facebook. Then suddenly, load shedding started so I was walking outside.

Suddenly, I noticed something like a hard, sticky substance coming out of a mango tree next to our house. The hard, sticky substance that comes out of a mango tree is called resin or gum. It is a natural protective mechanism of the tree. However, this glue dries and hardens later, so it looks like a hard glue. It was of two colors, see the picture below.

Then in the afternoon, I took a bath and freshened up and went to the mosque to offer Zuhr prayers. I always try to go to the mosque to offer prayers five times a day. Then I came home and had lunch with everyone and lay down for a while. Then I suddenly felt the need to visit the market in the neighboring village. The flawless afternoon sun seemed to be relaxing. At that time, I walked towards the village market. There was a little excitement about walking, of course, with fresh vegetables or other items on someone's shoulders.

Just then, my eyes fell on a middle-aged man who was sitting in a corner of the market, holding a mat. The various types of ropes spread out in front of him were sometimes thick, sometimes thin, sometimes colorful, and sometimes pure old-fashioned jute ropes. It seemed as if he had arranged a small museum of ropes. He had different types of modern thick ropes that are used for heart work.

There, in the afternoon, I prayed Asr and walked to the western side of our village where there is a bridge. The afternoon sun was slowly painting the surroundings in golden colors. Many childhood memories are associated here. The bridge is a little worn now, the cemented bricks have fallen off, but it still has a kind of charm.

I sat down on one side, surrounded by the sounds of animals and birds. In front of the vast sky, the sun was slowly leaning to the west. Its light fell on the water as if the river was burning in a reddish-golden color like fire. A light breeze was blowing, and a few birds were flying around, almost like the last flight of the day. Some teenagers were playing football in the field far away, and the sound of someone laughing could be heard. I took a picture of a cousin with me and asked him to take a picture of me with the sun in the background.

Today the air was breezy but there was a touch of emotion in it. There was no one around, just me and nature. Just then I saw the sun jumping into the river water, like an unearthly sight.

I didn't hesitate any longer and turned on the camera. I fixed the frame and saw the old bridge, the river below and the golden sun sinking in the middle. I clicked it. I took a picture. But the picture was not just a moment, it was a feeling, a quiet afternoon, private time with myself and an attempt to touch the strange beauty of nature.

After a long time, I had such a wonderful afternoon. Then from there I came to the mosque and prayed Maghrib. After praying, we bought a cold drink from the shop next door because our throats were dry. Then I was walking there for a while and suddenly I noticed a man selling some toys. Then I walked and stopped by that man. I saw that he had many different items there.

Some of the items were used for decorating the house. Such as Islamic paintings, things for decorating the back of the furniture, things for decorating the floor of the house, etc. and something else. And I liked a small toy house there. An engineer has very skillfully created a scene of a rural house.

Since it was late at night, I went home from there. After coming home and freshening up, I lay down for a while when load shedding started. There has been severe load shedding in Bangladesh for a few days, which is why it feels uncomfortable to stay indoors.

Although it was very windy outside, I brought a chair and sat outside for a while and chatted with friends on Facebook. After a while, the electricity came back, then I charged my phone for some time and had some food at night. Then I prepared a post on Steemit and kept it ready, which was a diary post. Then I fell asleep around eleven at night and ended the day like this.
