Assalamualaikum (Peace be upon you) everyone! Welcome back to our family vlog. Today, we're excited to take you through our morning routine here in the beautiful Pakistani village of Eshal. It's a peaceful and serene place, and we can't wait to share our day with you. Let's get started!
[MORNING PRAYERS]
As the sun rises over the horizon, the first thing we do is perform our morning prayers. We begin our day with gratitude and thankfulness to Allah for the blessings we have in our lives. It's a beautiful sight to see the entire family gathered in the prayer room, offering Fajr prayers together.
[MILKING THE COWS]
After prayers, it's time to tend to our animals. We have a few cows in our small farm, and milking them is an essential part of our daily routine. The cows are gentle and used to this ritual, making it a peaceful and bonding experience for us.
[PREPARING BREAKFAST]
Once the milking is done, it's time to prepare breakfast. We like to have a traditional Pakistani breakfast, which often includes hot and crispy parathas (flatbreads) served with homemade butter and honey or achar (pickles). Sometimes, we also have fresh fruits from our garden, like mangoes or guavas, depending on the season.
[GETTING READY FOR THE DAY]
After breakfast, it's time to get ready for the day. We put on our traditional clothes, like shalwar kameez for both men and women, as it's comfortable and suitable for the weather.
[SCHOOL TIME]
Our children head off to school, which is a short walk from our home. The village school is small but cozy, and the children love going there. The journey to the school is always filled with laughter and excitement.
[FARMING ACTIVITIES]
While the kids are at school, the adults in the family take care of various farming activities. Some family members tend to the crops in our fields, making sure they are watered and healthy. Others take care of the vegetable garden, where we grow fresh produce like tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers.
[COMMUNITY INTERACTION]
One of the best things about living in a close-knit village like Eshal is the strong sense of community. Throughout the day, we often interact with our neighbors and friends. Whether it's sharing a cup of chai (tea) together or helping each other with various tasks, the village life fosters a sense of togetherness that we cherish.
[OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES]
In the afternoon, after the sun's intensity has decreased, we indulge in some outdoor activities. Sometimes, we play cricket in an open field with our friends and family. It's a fun way to stay active and bond with each other.
[EVENING TEA]
As the day winds down, we gather for evening tea. It's a special time when we all sit together and share stories about our day. The aroma of the tea mixed with the sweet sounds of laughter creates a heartwarming atmosphere.
[PRAYERS AND DINNER]
As the sun sets, we perform our evening prayers and then enjoy a hearty dinner together as a family. Pakistani cuisine is diverse and flavor
