Hi Guys!

I hope everyone will be well and everyone will be safe and healthy like me. Alhamdulillah I am also safe and healthy.

Today was a special day for me because today my father told me that his friends are coming home in the evening which are about 12 people. They had to arrange their food which was a tough challenge but I told them ok don't worry I will arrange your food properly.

For this, first I took my father with me and went to the chicken seller. From where we had to buy chicken meat. My father has 12 friends. Every month one friend has the duty of cooking for everyone in the house. So now it was our duty and it was the chicken's turn at our house, we had to cook chicken. So I took my father to the chicken shop where we had to buy chicken meat.

From there we bought eight kilos of meat, which was only leg-piece meat. The only meat we bought was the back part of the chicken, we had to overcharge at Rs 50 per kg, so we paid that extra and bought only the back part of the chicken. We bought eight kilos of the leg meat from there.

As soon as he put all the meat in the scales in one place, he weighed it, it was eight kilos. Then we told her to clean it properly so that we only had to go home and wash it and cook it instead of cleaning it ourselves because we paid her extra money. So he cleaned the chicken meat for us nicely and we came home with the meat.


When I got home, I made a list of things to add to the meat. It included both vegetable items and grocery items. I made that list and took money from home and went straight to the market.

First I went to the grocery store and bought ghee, hot spices, turmeric, chili, etc. And after buying it, there was a vegetable shop next to it where I went and bought things like green chilies, cucumbers, and radishes. Because we had to make a salad of these radish and cucumber, which is the best for every meal.

I paid for both of them as soon as I bought them. After paying the money, I hung those two things with the bike and came home from there. After coming home, I gave all those things to my mother and told her that as soon as you needed anything else, let me know and I would bring it. For now, I have brought all the rest, you can start your work.

My mother started her preparation and told me that I should go and get half a kilo of curd from the shop because that curd was also to be added to this meat, so I brought her that curd from the shop.

My father told me to bring a tissue box with me on my return. Because hands get dirty when eating, they use tissues to clean them. With which we clean our hands and wash it after eating. This way we keep more cleanliness.

In the evening, my mother started preparing that food, and as soon as it was time for the Isha prayer, immediately after the prayer, all the friends who were my father's friends started gathering. They came to our house and from there we also prepared food which turned out to be very delicious.

First, we prepared three dishes of salad which we gave them so that they would eat a little bit before eating and then eat this salad with the meal. So we cut the whole salad which included radish carrot cucumber and cabbage etc and gave it to them.


After a while, I put all the dishes in front of them to feed them. My mother took three to four big pots in which we had to put three people together. Because they sit in a group, there are 12 people, so they make their own four groups. In a group of four, there are three members in each group, so they eat together. We took three to four big pots and put the food in them and gave it to them. And together we baked bread, which turned out to be very tasty and they ate it to their heart's content.


They ate the food and complimented us that the food was very delicious and we were also very happy about it. After that, we gave them tea. Two people did not drink sweet tea and made sugar-free tea for them. And for the rest, we made sweet tea. And after serving tea our work was done and they sat and chatted for a while and then went to their respective homes. That's how our day went today, I hope you guys liked it. You guys must have liked our hospitality. I hope you guys will support us, Allah Hafiz.

Regards: #Ahsan
