Hey Readcashers!

How's you people! I hope you are all having great days and enjoying well being of yourself and your family. Nowadays my study routine is getting a bit hectic! And it's difficult to study while fasting but it's also kind of a test for humans and it's worth doing!

Today is the 27th day of writing for 30 days challenge and the trigger is "map of sounds and smells". Here Aniko asks to go for a walk and look for the smells you feel around, and the sounds you hear. Be an explorer, and see your surroundings with an eye of an alien who is seeing/observing everything for the first time.

Fortunately we happened to go out to our relatives home. We didn't visit any of their home since the start of the Ramadan, and decided to have a walk too. Actually, their house is quite outside the dense population of our village, that's why it took almost 20-25 minutes to reach there.

Sounds:

I was trying my best to pay heed to the sounds on the whole way.

  • You might know that people in villages have open houses and the sounds can be easily heard from the outside. Initially, when we were in the narrow and wider streets I heard people who were sitting in their lawns, gossiping and chatting, as usually people do after iftar(breaking fast). Their gossip was filled with happiness, and they seemed as if they all had been away their homes all day or could not got the time for siting together. And iftar time do provides us the opportunity to sit together. Some of them had put their TVs outside and listening to the news with a high Volume.

    When we got out of the streets a little bit, we started to loose sounds of humans, then started the sounds of the hoppers and cattles which were not settled yet. As when we were about to reach their home, it was already time of ishaa prayer(night prayer time) and the sounds of azaan were coming from all directions. Hearing azaan in an open area gives goosebumps. And it is a never experienced one.

Smells:

As you can guess that it's Ramadan, and it is the time when everyone test their cooking skills. There are variety of foods cooked.

  • When we were still in th the streets, we easily smelled different dishes. Though the cooking was over but the fragrance of the food was still hanging in the air. There were some cattle outside the houses, there was also smell of their waste.

    While getting outside the village, the fragrance of flowers of orange plants coming from a farm was refreshing the air. I'm really in love with the fragrance of orange flowers. I think it is the most underrated flower, never heard anyone talk about it.

So that was all peers. I would love to hear from you, that have you ever been out, observing nature with full consciousness!

Next trigger for writing is "time capsule". Here Aniko asks to write about the life of today, and put inside a time capsule which would be read after 50 years. So try to write about life of today, what you think would end in coming 50 years, and give any advice that you want to convey.

That was all comrades! I hope you enjoyed reading.

Stay blessed ๐Ÿ’.

Bye-bye ๐Ÿ‘‹๐ŸŒƒ.
