Thumbnail Image- Special Haleem
The first month of the Bengali calendar Boishakh, has just begun and during this time, there are often scattered rains and occasional cyclones which is why it's also called Kalbaishakhi. Anyway, after having breakfast in the morning, I was about to leave for my office desk.
I noticed very dark clouds outside. After finishing some of my work at the office, I looked at the sky through the window behind my desk. It was still quite cloudy and there was a jute mill in the back, which I had photographed.

After some time, as morning snacks, we were given singara and herbal tea. Then I worked on my PC for a while longer.
After that, I noticed that my maternal grandfather had come to the desk next to mine and I chatted with him. My grandfather is almost 87 years old. He can move around quite well at this age and he loves me very much.
He is one of the people who have contributed significantly to my life. Even at this age, he single-handedly manages his businesses. I always follow him and he is a business icon for me.

After finishing office work, I returned home in the afternoon and tried to rest for a while after lunch. Outside, I noticed that the sky had become very cloudy. It was cloudy almost all day but there was no sign of rain. The surrounding area had become almost dark.
It felt like evening even though it was still afternoon. So, I thought of taking a walk towards the field behind our house because such weather is more enjoyable in an open field. I used to play with my friends in this field when I was little.

Then I returned because the sound of thunder was gradually getting louder in the sky. I spent the afternoon at home, where I offered my afternoon prayers. In the evening,I went to Bhatiari market.
The upper screen protector of our house's Android mobile had broken, so I got a new glass protector changed from a mobile service shop. The new protector glass cost 100 taka/5.7 STEEM.

Leaving the mobile service shop, I was returning home when I came across a fast food shop. During Ramadan, a recipe is very popular in our country and everyone wants to eat it – that is Haleem.
Ramadan ended many days ago and I haven't had Haleem since then. So, I went into the fast food shop and ordered Haleem for myself. The food tasted very delicious. Along with that, I ordered a coffee and my total bill was 150 taka.

After that, I returned home. Then I offered my night prayers. Because I had eaten outside, I didn't feel like having dinner but thinking I might get hungry at night, I ate as much as possible. As of today I'm leaving here. Wish you all good health, everyone.
Brother, your day was really eventful and meaningful. Now the month of Baishakh and the month of Baishakh, the change in weather, the cloudy sky, and the small moments of your life have been beautifully portrayed in your writing. Your story about your grandfather is especially heartwarming. A symbol of life and an inspiring person, who himself runs a business successfully despite the challenges of 87 years of age. Your relationship and respect for him is truly inspiring.

Hello brother, how are you? Thank you very much for such a beautiful post, especially the fact that you met your grandfather, which is really admirable, and you shared a picture of Haleem, which is a very salty dish, and you went to the mobile servicing center to change the protector glass. You have beautifully depicted your daily activities through the post. May you be well.
