"Finally, Eid feels like Eid!" Yes, I had to echo this, despite knowing that a difficult and uncertain future lies ahead.

This year, I unexpectedly found myself in a new circle I never imagined could even exist. And, out of nowhere, these people thought, "Why not do something special?"

And that’s how everyone’s efforts came together and made this Eid one of the most festive ones I’ve ever celebrated. I have to admit, I was constantly distracted by the workload awaiting me, and I even messed things up at times. My apologies.

But despite it all, moments were created. Nothing fancy, nothing glamorous. Everyone made cute little Eid gifts, desserts, wish cards, gave salamis and funny surprises. It wasn’t the things themselves that made those moments special– it was the happiness and love that came with them. Most of all, it was the faces that came together to make it happen. It was time well spent.

Now, as life returns to its usual rhythm, as some of us are flying back to other countries, others are busy with exams or work– I have to admit, I miss it. Human minds require a bit of dissatisfaction so that we long for the special things again.

And I do. I want those moments back, every now and then.

This Eid felt like a story written in two different shades—one bright with joy, the other softened by unexpected trials.

In the last three days before Eid, I experienced something truly special. I sold 100 pieces of freshly made henna cones for the first time ever and even received my first order from outside my area. It felt like a quiet achievement, a moment of growth that reminded me how passion can take us far in life.

But Eid also brought a sudden turn. On the second day, an accident at home left my mother with a burn injury. What was meant to be a time of celebration shifted into concern and responsibility. With her being diabetic, her healing required extra care, attention, and patience. The same home that had been filled with laughter became quieter, holding both worry and hope.

Yet, this Eid was not defined by just one moment. It taught me that life is not only about celebrations or hardships but often a mixture of both. Joy does not disappear in difficult times, and strength quietly grows when we face challenges. Between success and struggle, I found a deeper understanding of resilience.

This Eid was not perfect, but it was meaningful. It reminded me that growth comes not only from achievements, but also from how we stand strong and care for those we love in difficult moments.

Eid is not the same for everyone. All my life, I have seen my mother getting stressed during those special holy weeks. She needs the house to be fully prepared. The house needs to shine brighter than a newly polished mirror. Each corner of the house needs to be squeaky clean. Every room needs to be decorated like a newly decorated car.

All my life, I have seen my mother as a multitasker. She never fails to fulfill her responsibilities, whether it's at her workplace or at home. Especially during the special weeks of Eid, my mother becomes like a transformer, juggling between meeting official deadlines and preparing for Eid, such as hosting guests.

On the other hand, her daughter does some light chores around the house, such as making sure each room is well organized. She even starts applying henna on her hands, making sure it stains as dark as possible. Being enthusiastic, she even starts wearing all her Eid outfits the night before the big day, reliving her core childhood memories.

On the day of Eid, she and her mother both sit down at the dining table. Both of them enjoy the big feast of meals, which makes them feel blessed.

Even though Eid is not the same for everyone, one thing common is shared between each individual: the specially homemade food made with love and only enjoyed during Eid. Sharing love in the form of these special meals with family and friends is what stays with us even after Eid.

Our Rameen Bajwa and Mahnoor Rehan recently joined Lily Mott on Be the Change, a podcast that brings together young people from around the world who are driving real, extraordinary change in their communities.

In this episode, they opened up about Daak Chithi. what it means to bring back the age-old tradition of letter writing, what it feels like to hand someone a pen and watch them pour their heart onto paper, and how something as simple as a letter can carry the weight of belonging, memory, and hope.

This is the story of why we started. the quiet conviction that human connection should never be rushed, that every person's story deserves to be written down and sent forward, and that creativity and community together are one of the most powerful forces for change we have.

Come listen to the people who live and breathe this work every day.

We are thrilled to introduce Fabiha Fairuz, our Head of Illustration, a visual storyteller who brings warmth, intention, and artistry to everything she creates!

Fabiha sees life as an open canvas, each day shaped with curiosity and care. Her work lives in branding, design, and thoughtful communication, where she turns ideas into visuals that feel honest and emotionally grounded.

To Fabiha, the people she meets are the colors that make her world more vibrant. She values human connection and being present in the moment—often writing letters to her future self to hold on to memories and remind herself to slow down and appreciate life as it unfolds.

Her vision extends beyond design: she hopes to build and nurture communities that feel warm, supportive, and healing.

With Fabiha leading our visual storytelling, Daak Chithi's mission comes alive through art that speaks to the heart.

Welcome, Fabiha!

Ramadan does not flow through the days of a calendar; it flows quietly through the heart. Somewhere between the quiet hunger of the afternoons and the golden calm of sunset, life takes on a clarity — as if the very soul has been softly washed clean. This year, however, Ramadan holds a greater significance within me.

My eldest sister will be leaving for abroad in April, to begin a new chapter in her life that will take her away from home for many years to come. Somewhere within me, a part of my heart quietly whispers to me that a part of my life is slowly preparing to leave with her. It is not an overwhelming feeling — it is not that loud. It is soft — very soft. A quiet ache that surfaces in quiet moments.

Ramadan, in its strange way, is teaching me how to hold these quiet moments.

Just as Maghrib begins, as the fast is broken and the room slowly fills with warmth, there is a moment of quiet, sacred pause before the evening truly begins. There is a sense of eager waiting for her to make tea. While it is so simple, the way she makes tea seems almost magical, as though she adds a little bit of love to the tea as she stirs it. When we sit together, cups of tea warming our hands, something magical happens. The fatigue of the day fades away, and laughter enters the conversation. There is a moment of suspended time. Those little moments of laughter between sips of tea seem so precious, so eternal.

In those moments, I realize that Ramadan has a way of slowing down time just enough for the heart to pay attention to what’s really important.

This year, then, in the midst of Ramadan, even as part of me secretly begins to steel itself for the pain of missing her, another part of me is learning to be grateful for these evenings, for the tea that she makes so lovingly, and for the quiet joy of being together, even for a little longer.

One of the most miraculous things that Ramadan does, perhaps, is to teach the heart how to hold on to the beauty of a moment, even as it knows that one day, it will have to let it go.

Ramadan as everyone says always brings a certain type of mercy to everyone’s life. The peace and blessings of it remain lingering in your life forever. To me, every year the time of Ramadan is a time of reflection. Occasionally on weekends, whenever I go out to grab iftar with my family, I reflect upon all the past Ramadans, on how things changed so subtly yet so vigorously. One year I am with my whole extended family, the other year I am at home peacefully enjoying the Ramadan days with iftar ordered from food delivery apps in lockdown, the other year I am at a whole gorgeous iftar party and the next year I am sitting at the table with people I did not even know a few years back, while the people I had known for so long were missing. Life has a whole weird way of taking away people from you, and giving to you the people you need at the right time.

For almost the majority of my school life my Ramadan was spent at home with no classes, but then came years of attending back to back classes and coachings with no breaks in between. I never probably realised that last Ramadan was when I would be experiencing some things for the last time. But what makes me regret most is taking things for granted, there was a time long ago when the whole family used to sit together for iftar(definitely before the smart TVs and smartphones came). Back in the days when I used to be a child, there was a clear tradition, watching religious programs on TV till afternoon, followed by cooking shows and the iconic Keka apa’s ranna. And after iftar, the shows were mostly about Eid Bazar prices and Ramadan markets.

Now in 2026, I can't even remember the last time I had meals at the dining table with my whole family or watched a show together. Somewhere in the middle of growing up, what seemed to be normal, having sleepovers at nanubari, going to each other's place for iftar just became rare events in my life. Probably, those will come back. Life has its own way of repeating things in a different cycle. So while you are enjoying these moments, remind yourself that these are the times you would want to relive again, the moments that will make your life worthy enough to be yearned to be experienced again.

Greetings to all. Welcome to Episode 7 of "Daak Dastan," where Daak Chithi transforms written pages into shared stories. In the quiet corners of folded paper, souls meet - past embraces present, and distance becomes merely a test of devotion.

Today's letter will be narrated by Hannah Whitfield from the UK, giving wings to words that once waited in stillness.
