- on the beach, with your feet masked in the sand staring at the deep blue waters. collecting shells on the shores.
-wrapped in your cozy bed with an absorbing reads like sufi works by rumi, or persian epics, mughal histories, a romantic little novela or the holy and powerful words of quran helping you rest your soul for the night.
