Agentic AI Coding Workshop
A group photo after a session on agentic AI coding, one of those evenings where the conversation kept going long after the slides were done. Good company makes even a long workshop day worth it.
Al Madinah Night Bus Tour
A hop-on-hop-off double-decker parked near the hotel district, waiting to take another loop through the city at night. A small, ordinary moment in between the bigger reasons for being there.
Makkah Clock Royal Tower
Looking straight up at the Makkah Clock Royal Tower, right by the Haram, its crescent catching the afternoon sun. It’s hard to grasp the scale of this place until you’re standing under it, neck craned back, trying to fit the whole tower in one frame.
Masjid al-Haram
My favorite place in the world. Right as you come down the stairs, this view opens up in front of you, the Kaaba and thousands of people moving around it at once. Subhanallah, every single time.
Masjid Al-Quba on a Cloudy Morning
Masjid Al-Quba on a cloudy morning, its minarets rising over the palm trees while the plaza is still mostly empty. No editing here, the overcast sky just gave the whole scene a dreamy look on its own.
Night Prayers at the Kaaba
Sitting on the marble just outside the mataf late at night, waiting for the next prayer, the Kaaba lit up in the distance. Nights here feel different from the daytime crowds, calmer, even with hundreds of people still around you.
Streets of Medina at Night
An old stone building near the mosque, lit up against the night sky, with the streets around it still full of people well after dark. Medina has a different pace at night, quieter than the day but never really empty.
Napittachhara Waterfall
Back in 2014, my first tour outside home with friends: a 7-hour journey to Napittachhara Waterfall. This is where I fell in love with waterfalls and the hill-side views around Chittagong.
