A Day with Light: Sunbeams, Scribbles & a Quirky Glitch

AsalamuAlaikum, friends! It’s Yawar here, back with another little tale for The Yawar Chronicles. Today, I’m letting the light in my room tell a story—yep, the sun decided to be my co-writer! From a glowing plant to a glitchy laptop, these four pictures capture a day of small joys, some laughs, and a bit of wonder.

Come along for the ride—it’s a simple one, I promise!

A colorful potted plant glowing in sunlight by the window.

Meet my windowsill buddy—a quirky plant with red and blue leaves, soaking up the morning sun like it’s on vacation. I mean, look at that glow—the sun’s practically giving it a high-five through the glass!

I like to think this window has seen a lot. Maybe a poet once sat here, staring outside, dreaming up verses. Or maybe a traveler, pausing between journeys, watching the sunrise with a cup of tea. For me, it’s just a quiet reminder that life keeps growing, no matter what.

An open notebook with a pen resting on a woven mat, lit by afternoon sunlight.

By afternoon, the sun sneaks over to my desk, lighting up my notebook like it’s saying, “Write something, Yawar!” This notebook is a mess—scribbles, doodles, and bits of biochem, I’m digging into. The pen’s just chilling there, probably judging my handwriting (it’s not wrong).

Sunlight streaming through a window lattice, creating patterns on the floor.
Later, the sun hits this window, and oh boy, it’s a show! The light spills through the lattice, making little squares dance on the floor. It’s like the sun’s playing hide-and-seek with the shadows.
I bet someone sat here long ago, maybe a kid counting those squares, or a writer finding peace in the glow. There’s something about sunlight through an old window that feels… timeless. It’s my favorite spot to just sit and think—what’s the light saying to you today?

Laptop screen with a colorful glitch displaying the word 'Energy'.

And then, as the day winds down, my laptop decides to throw a tantrum—look at that glitchy screen! The word ‘Energy is floating there, all colorful and confused, like my laptop’s trying to be artsy. I laughed so hard—guess even tech has its off days!

But you know, it’s kind of poetic. The sun gave me energy all day, and now my laptop’s like, “I’ve got some too!” Maybe it’s telling me to keep creating, even when things get a bit… glitchy.

Reflection: The Light Around Us

As I look back at these small moments, I realize how much light shapes our lives—not just the sunlight streaming through windows, but the light we find in unexpected places. A good laugh, a quiet thought, a moment of creativity… those are all forms of light too.

Maybe the real message here is to notice them. To slow down and appreciate the small joys—a warm glow on a plant, a well-worn notebook, a playful shadow, or even a glitchy laptop reminding us not to take things too seriously.

What’s lighting up your day—sunshine or a funny tech fail? Drop a comment or find me on X (yawarnabi). Inshallah, I’ll be back with more chronicles soon.

Until then, keep chasing the light!

Chinar: The Timeless Symbol of Kashmir

The Chinar tree, known scientifically as Platanus orientalis , is an iconic symbol of Kashmir's cultural and historical landscape. Revered for its majestic presence, the Chinar is deeply rooted in the region's heritage and is often associated with poetry, spirituality, and romance.

It’s My Life, Let Me Live It My Way

Sometimes, I sit and wonder—why can’t we get what we truly want? Why does it feel like everything we desire is always just out of reach? People around us talk about destiny , saying, “It wasn’t meant to be.” But what if it was ? What if we were just never allowed to try? We live in a world where our biggest battles are not just with circumstances—but with people. The same people who love us, care for us… but still, unknowingly, cage us. They say, “It’s for your future.” But what is a future without peace? What is a path without passion? Why can’t we choose the life we want? Why do we let society's voice become louder than our own? When we say, “This is what I want,” someone always replies, “No, we know better.” They may be our parents, siblings, elders—but even they can't see into our hearts, they can't predict the outcome. No one can. Only Allah knows the future. Only He writes destiny. So who gave people the right to stop us? To say, “You can't do this,” without gi...
