Journal Intro

Assalamualaikum! Can you guess my excitement today? I will be sharing my latest travel journal with you.

I have been really enthusiastic about this project as it is my first ever journal in Urdu. I think travel journals are an excellent way to preserve your memories from a cherished holiday.

As soon as I came back from our expedition, I spent a few lunch breaks in office and some late night sessions to complete it in one week.

About holiday in Kalash

Just a brief introduction of this holiday. Nine of us traveled together with an exciting tour company Ghoomo Phirro to the biggest valley of Kalash named Bumburet in Chitral. This area is in the KPK district of Pakistan and is on the border with Afghanistan. The tour was from 12-17th of May 2017.

For those of you who missed my brief summary of our Kalash trip, here is the link.

Highlights Of Our Kalash Tour 12-17 May 2017

I had won a free ticket of this trip in a lucky draw. My excitement was unreal.

We started off in a van at 9 pm and surprisingly it took us 32 hours to get to the most exotic place on this planet. We spent two days in Happy Guest House with the most entertaining group mates. We also had local tour guides and scrumptious meals there. We attended Chilam Joshi festival and got to experience the Kalashi culture. The views there were breathtaking with glaciers covering the famous Hindu Kush mountain range. The journey was full of adventure which gave us hysterical laughing fits along with some serious life-changing lessons with practical training. It was the trip of a lifetime and I am full of gratitude for winning it.

A tiny escape that felt like a full reset. 🌊Just 1.5 hours from home – but far enough to forget, chores, routines, and the constant ‘what’s next’? Perfect weather, happy kids, happy parents, a day that reminded us how good it feels to pause. 🚦 White point resort, Summerville, Nova Scotia.

Replace one sugary drink — Coke, Red Bull, or a sports drink — with a green juice. Just one. Your body will feel the difference. We were sold fake refreshment for years — Coke for thirst, Red Bull for energy, sports drinks for hydration. But the real refreshment is leafy greens blended into a glass of green juice. If you’re ready to switch from sugar to nourishment, reply ‘green juice’ and I’ll send you the article with my voicover.

Watching Nyra grow in her namaz in her 7th year has been one of the sweetest parts of motherhood 🥹
Seeing her pray with confidence, follow each step, and feel excited for her Salah journey melts my heart. 🤍

And honestly… I needed this namaz refresh and correction at this stage of my life too. The gentle, melodic recitation‑style audio in this prayer mat has been so grounding for both of us.

This beautiful Rose Garden at Dawn janamaz from NoorConnect guides her step‑by‑step with clear audio, transliteration, posture detection and an evolving app that grows with her — making her feel supported and motivated in the sweetest way.

If you’re supporting your little one’s Salah journey too, NoorConnect is such a beautiful tool to explore 🌙
