Qararay Pakoray – Pakoras with a Twist

During this blessed month of Ramadan, Pakoras are a popular snack at Iftar time. Through out the day (for about eighteen hours) we resist our temptation.

We never prayed for a big, fancy or new house… just a peaceful & charming one where the four of us could fit with contentment.
Allah gave us so much more than we asked for. Alhamdulillah 🤍 Chhota sa ghar chahiye tha… bas sukoon aur apnaypan ke saath.
Allah ne is se bohat zyada ata kar diya. Alhamdulillah 🤍

We finally did Georges Island Tour… one of the most historic defence points in the harbour. It was such perfect Weather. 
Halifax ka chhota sa island, lekin tunnel system kafi gehra.

Purane zamane ke defence tunnels — thanday, narrow, aur fascinating. 🧐 built in the 1800s, once used by soldiers to find refuge beneath the fort.

Honestly bohot yaadgar day trip.
Kabhi kabhi bas ek simple tour bhi dil ko refresh kar deta hai.

Weather was beautiful, the tour was simple, and the history was surprisingly deep.
Sometimes the smallest islands hold the biggest stories.

Booking info:
We booked the official Parks Canada tour via Ambassatours. Tickets were approx $25 per person for the round‑trip ferry & island access inc tunnel tour.
August was beautiful. 😻 Alhamdulilah.
