Lisbon — 14 May 2026

Felt good today.

Attended three meetings. Wore a new colour combination — a salmon shirt, beige trousers, and tan loafers. Broke my fast with coconut water and Sardinhas Assadas. Ate only a little — too spicy. Later tonight, I read a heartbreaking report from India: a woman was allegedly assaulted on a moving bus by the driver and conductor. Despite serious injuries, she reportedly refused hospital treatment because nobody was home to cook for her children.

Lisbon — 13 May 2026

Nineteen-hour workdays all week. Only pauses for prayer, sleep, showers. Third day of my 72-hour fast.

Somewhere between deadlines, I sent my wife a quote: ‘My heart talks about nothing but you.’ — Albert Camus

May Allah SWT always keep her safe.
