The charity is charting new territory in Indian Occupied Kashmir. While people have traditionally been doing charity for a peaceful afterlife, an unknown young man is helping people break the Iftaar fast for his love.
The cell phone has emerged as the biggest matchmaker on earth. People start knowing each other on social media and eventually open direct communication lines on cell phones and finally decide about their long-term relationship.
A video has gone viral on social media showing the Iftaar breakfast kits the boy, or the man, distributed on a Srinagar road, carrying a chit pleading for prayers that his love story succeeds. The video is garnering attention and views, as it was widely shared by different pages on their social media handles.
The story is rooted around Srinagar city’s Dr Ali Jan Road, where some people distributed packets of iftaari among the people. One commuter who received two of those packets took them home and when he opened the packets, it contained a packet of juice, dates and a small chit.
It was the message written on the chit that caught the attention of the man. “Asalamualaikum,” the chit read, “please pray for me that I marry her”. The same message was written in Urdu language as well.
Finding the charity interesting, the unknown racier decided to make a small video of it and put it on social media. In the last three days, it has gone viral.
The user who shared the video can be heard reading the message aloud in the presence of his family members, with a female family member correcting his pronunciation.—NNI
