Hello. How are you? I miss you. I won’t lie. These last few days have been gloomy for me with what’s happening back home making me miss friends and family even more. It’s only natural to feel beaten. We are only human after all. I find myself looking to others for strength and comfort that better days will come when the clouds clear. I realise more and more that we need each other even more than ever to pull each other up when we may slip into darkness. When I first made my hijra to be with my husband, I knew no one. Now I feel blessed to be graced by the few friends that I have made here in the UAE especially these 3 ladies who make me laugh and remind me that laughter is the best medicine. I miss my friends back home and our spontaneous adventures but I’m sure that these friends of mine will also be their friends one day when they finally make that trip to visit me as we had always planned all along. This I can’t wait for! It’s going to fantastic! Presently going into the new Islamic year, I am grateful for these friendships in my life and the chance to perhaps bring some light into another’s person’s life as they have in mine. May He always preserve these friendships that I have in my life and may He protect them all as well as their loved ones from any sadness or calamities inshallah. Call it melancholy, call it pensiveness, my precious friends whenever you are around the world, thank you for being there for me and checking in on me every now and then, I always hope to be able to return the favour. Remember I’m just a message away. I love you so much Lillahi Taala. “Try to have as many as possible true friends, for they are the supplies in joy and the shelters in misfortunes.” (Bihar-ul-Anwar) #SalamMaalHijrah1443h #ADashOfSash❤️ #CommittedToTheCelopians #DiaryOfADevotedDomesticatedDabawi #TheElusiveFairytaleOfTheHalfBloodPrincessSayang

#尛外電 印度確診者遺體河上飄 議員還在推廣用牛尿防疫 ---------------------------- Artist: @lunawei1912 ---------------------------- 印度疫情仍未減緩，5/11根據官方通報，當日的確診人數則為403,788人，過去24小時已增加了4,029個病逝案例，死亡人數直逼5/10的單日最高紀錄4,187人。 截至5/11，印度累計死亡病例有242,362例，累計確診人數更飆升到了2,230萬人。 因為遺體大量增加，火葬場消化不及，在比哈爾邦（Bihar）就有民眾目擊當地的卡蒂哈爾沙達醫院（Katihar Sadar Hospital）職員，將病逝的確診患者遺體直接丟入河中。 北方邦的亞穆納河（Yamuna River）先前也被發現有十多具遺體在河上漂流。當地居民說，傳統上認為河流會帶來好運，因此才會將死者託付給河，但一般來說只會看到一兩具遺體，一口氣看到十多具倒是第一次。 在疫情一發不可收拾之際，印度竟有議員鼓吹以喝牛尿的方式抗疫。 議員蘇蘭達蠟（Surendra Singh）是由印度總理莫迪（Narendra Modi）領導的印度人民黨（BJP）的成員。日前他特地拍片示範喝牛尿，並稱自己每天工作18小時還是跟牛一樣健壯，這全是牛尿的功勞。 蘇蘭達蠟還解釋，牛尿要早上空腹的時候喝，比例大約是一杯水兌3瓶蓋的牛尿，並表示要一口乾，服用後的半小時都不能吃東西。蘇蘭達蠟表示，牛尿不只能用來對抗肺炎，還能預防心臟病等各式疾病。 這並非首次有人推廣牛尿抗疫，但這些偏方都被專家打臉完全沒有科學根據。 尛評：怎麼不去吃大便...等等我道歉，這很像你會幹的事。 #恆河的超級噬菌體這次能拯救印度嗎 #不如趕快下載台灣社交距離APP -- Source: India Today, twitter Image Credit: India Today, twitter Video Credit: Saloni Sahu via Twitter, Mirror Now via Twitter, TheStar viaYoutube #cowurine #india #covid19 #mla #bihar #katiharsadarhospital #yamunariver #gaumutra #surendrasingh #NarendraModi #BharatiyaJanataParty #folkmedicine #cowpoop #holycow #圖文 #新聞 #創作 #外電 #art #illustration #drawing #painting #digital #news #ani3small #2021
