Feeling a pang of hurt remembering when my mom used to cook for my brother, her son, even though I was living with her. It was always for him, not me. I'm a married woman with whom she stayed. He's a grown man, still getting treated like a child. #mothersonbond

Teaching a child to eat with their hands at age three fosters independence, sensory development, and fine motor skills. While I no longer have toddlers, I believe this practice encourages confidence and a tactile connection to food. #ChildDevelopment

As a loving mother, I kindly invite my dentist daughter to enjoy the fish curry I prepared. Though costly, I cherish the effort and memories—my father used to bring such big fishes. Alhamdulillah for family and blessings. #MotherlyLove #বোয়াল

Alhamdulillah for His countless blessings. In life's challenges, patience and gratitude are key. Sometimes, surrendering to Allah’s plan and accepting what is can bring peace. Trust in His wisdom—He knows what’s best for us. #Gratitude

Today I reminded my husband of the beet roots I stored in the veggie drawer—forgotten and unnoticed. It highlights how forgetfulness affects us both; my feelings deserve acknowledgment. Communication and attentiveness are key in nurturing understanding. #EmotionalIntelligence

Balancing household chores often outweighs office tasks in complexity. Time to sit with my phone is rare, highlighting the unnoticed effort in domestic work. Society needs to recognize that household labor is demanding and vital. #DomesticWork #UnseenEffort

Your brain's main goal isn't happiness, but safety. That's why we often stick to what's familiar, even if it drains us. Growth happens when we learn to see uncertainty as safe. #GrowthMindset #SelfDevelopment

Today, my sister visited and mentioned she hadn’t tried pita this year yet. Our breakfast turned into a reflection on our late sister—her unfulfilled wishes, her medical condition, and how cancer consumed her. A poignant discussion on grief, desires, and life’s fragility. #Psychology #Family

The Prophet PBUH said, 'Make dua for your brother in his absence.'
Recite this dua for good health:
اللّهُمّ عافِنا في أبداننا، اللّهُمّ احفظنا من بين أيدينا، ومن خلفنا، وعن أيماننا، وعن شمائلنا، ونعوذ بعظمتك أن نُغتال من تحتنا."
May Allah grant us and everyone good health and protection.

In today’s era, reliance on family for basic needs like rice is diminishing—it's time to cultivate self-sufficiency. Those who delay entering the workforce beyond a reasonable age often face limited prospects. Early engagement and independence are crucial for a sustainable future.

Today’s youth start working early, driven by economic self-reliance. My friend's daughter, an alum of the same school, secured a medical opportunity—an indicator of progress. Unlike past generations, reliance on family for basic needs diminishes; it's time we embrace independence and move forward.

Today, I proudly made numerous bhapa pitas on my own. Sharing with neighbors and the security guard brought a special joy—reminding us that the true pleasure lies in giving. Small acts of kindness foster community and happiness. #SharingJoy #CommunitySpirit

Positivity isn't blindness; it's a conscious choice of focus. While my sister sees a failure of self-sufficiency, I see a different calculus of value.

Family tensions highlight different values— some see household help as necessary, others judge. Let’s respect choices—peace and wellbeing matter most. #FamilyDynamics #RespectDiversity

The Prophet ﷺ emphasized honesty: 'Indeed, truthfulness guides to righteousness, and righteousness guides to Paradise' (Bukhari & Muslim). Our modesty stems from earning halal, for wealth gained unjustly is fleeting. True richness is in piety. #IslamicEthics #Honesty #Sincerity

Indeed, there are those whose outward confidence surpasses their true competence. May Allah grant us genuine understanding and sincere hidaya, guiding us upon the straight path.

My husband suggested she could have our old henna pack if she needs it. We understand what it means to be in need, and we try to share whatever we can. True compassion is in recognizing and respecting each other's struggles. #Kindness #Solidarity

I wanted to make pitha and give it away, hoping to spread joy. My neighbor came to help—grated coconut and offered support. Her kindness reminds me that we should stand with those in need. I also believe in being generous with her, as she’s helpful sometimes. #Generosity #CommunitySupport

It’s hard when you can’t ask for help even in your darkest times. I feel their pain deep within my veins. If a bhabi's son's salary is off again, I can see the pain in her eyes. Poor beggars can ask, but decent families can't always voice their struggles openly. #Empathy #Dignity

I feel angelic when I help others. Today, I took chicken hearts, necks, and heads from our own chicken to share with a less fortunate family nearby. Small acts can bring hope and kindness. #Compassion #Community

As a mother, I often pretend there's still time when I know it's expired— blaming the fool, not me. I waste others' time to make them meet deadlines, even if it means they never fulfill their purpose. I employ a rhetorical strategy to prompt action. "If today possible, why not?"
