Day 1 in Sri Lanka 🇱🇰✨
Landed around 7 AM and trust me, immigration was a breeze! Just a few minutes and we were out into the warm island air 🌴
The moment you step out of the airport, you’ll find yourself surrounded by kiosks, ATMs & small stores and this is where the real prep for your trip begins 😄
📱 First thing first: Get a SIM card. We picked Dialog 4G Sim for Rs 715, which came with 50GB + unlimited WhatsApp.....honestly, the perfect plan for travellers....paid via Scapia credit card for 0 forex charges. I asked for 5G...guy at counter said it's not available.
🚕 Next up: The cab hunt. After comparing rates, we found Carsons to be the cheapest & most reliable.....20,000 LKR from the airport to Weligama (via highway, toll included). Others were quoting 22–24k LKR, so this felt like a win already and Uber was also expensive 💪
💳 Pro tip: Withdrew local cash straight from an ATM....I used my HDFC Forex Card.....super smooth. You’ll definitely need cash here as small vendors rarely accept cards. (There’s also a Thomas Cook counter at the airport if you prefer exchanging currency).
By noon, we finally reached our stay.....the beautiful Marriott Weligama Bay 🏖️
Got an early check-in + 1 level upgrade.....more about that in the next post 😍
Sri Lanka, you’ve already started to feel special. 💛
Huge thanks to the Ambassador @milespointspro Sir for quick and important tips which were very useful❤️
The hearts of our dehumanized men are bigger than the imagination of the propagandized public. May Allah have mercy on you dear Saleh, and all the souls of our soul.
This was Saleh, the dreamer, the one most of us never had the honor of seeing.
He had dreams like everyone else in Gaza. He was a ranked player in table tennis. He loved to sing and made songs before and during the genocide. He memorized all 600 pages of the Quran and loved Islam and he loved God. He was a Youtuber who started his journey on Youtube back in 2020 where he vlogged his life, added his songs, and showed the beauty of Gaza.
Saleh Aljafarawi, for 27 years of his life, lived under a brutal occupation whose only mission was to kill more Palestinians and steal more Palestinian land.
For two years, he starved with his people as he reported on limbless and bloody dead children, night and day. He ran towards airstrikes. He ran towards blood.
Saleh’s name in Arabic means “virtuous” and “righteous.” What a virtuous and righteous man this world has lost. He woke up millions of people to the ugliness of the ethnic cleansing of Palestine, and the greed and evil that runs our world.
He died telling the truth. Western journalists live to tell lies.
Palestine is bigger than just Palestine. Palestine is for every person who believes in freedom.
Saleh’s death will not be in vain. Glory be to the martyrs. Free Palestine. Free us all.

everytime I go to my Mums grave with my Dad I just think about how none of the things people think about marriage are important except for having someone who is devoted to you both reaching Jannah while you’re here and when you’re gone
There's a few rules I've tried to follow:
- All meetings and admin tasks done before 1pm
- If something can be done in 5 minutes, do it now instead of procrastinating
- Pick 1 important thing to do everyday and make sure you do it, no pushing it to tomorrow
Brothers & sisters, I really need your support, my medication costs are due soon and it's a BIG bill.
We've NOT raised enough over the last 3 days and I'm at risk at not being financially equipped for my prescriptions.
This medication is ESSENTIAL to my being able to physically function.

Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajioon. Please keep my father in your duas, may Allah forgive him and raise his ranks in the hereafter. Ameen to all your duas, jazak Allah khair.
We are the indigenous population of that land, called Palestine.
We are being wiped out by European settlers.
Like they wiped out many indigenous populations before us.
Their genocidal tools are slaughter, diseases, and famine.
How little have they evolved.
We are living in a time people get gpts to write fancy goals instead of being authentic. 😅 Nevertheless, tech- driven matching is already out there in the existing services.
It works by using your "super-bio data" a profile with not just basics, but your values, goals, and what truly matters. This gives the AI a deeper understanding of who you are
