In a heartwarming demonstration of community spirit and charity, residents of Malmapanpora hamlet of North Kashmir’s Sopore, banded together to raise funds for the construction of a Mosque in the locality through a unique initiative. The local Masjid Committee, despite facing difficulties in gathering resources, embarked on a journey that would remarkably unite the village.
The concept was straightforward but innovative: collect donations, both in cash and in-kind contributions to fund the construction of the Mosque. Among the contributions was the freshly laid hen egg, which symbolized the sincerity and modest offerings of the villagers.
The old woman who donated the egg chose to remain anonymous, which highlights the selfless nature of the act and adds to the beauty of the gesture. As the donations were put up for auction, the egg swiftly became the most sought-after object, capturing the attention and imagination of the community.
The locals enthusiastically engaged in spirited bidding for three days, with each round igniting their desire, determination and energy. After each successful bid, the winning bidder not only paid the bid amount but also returned the egg to the community, further fuelling the cycle of generosity.
On the final day of the auction, the focus of attention was Danish Ahmad, a young businessman from the nearby Warpora area. His winning bid of Rs 70, 000 not only demonstrated his dedication to the cause but also reflected the strong emotional connection he shared with the sacred place like Masjid_ the House of Allah SWT.
Ahmad’s remarks at the bidding stage resonate with the spirit of unity and the sense of purpose that permeated the auction. His passion and devotion to the construction of the Masjid drove him to contribute generously, even with limited resources and inspired others to follow suit
The culmination of the auction was nothing short of extraordinary. With each bid, the cumulative funds raised from a single egg soared to an impressive Rs 2,26,350, a testament to the collective power and solidarity of the community.
As construction progresses on the Mosque, the echoes of the egg auction will reverberate, reminding us of the potential that arises when people unite around a common cause. In the Malmapanpora village of Sopore, a humble egg set off a chain reaction of kindness that transcended monetary value, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts and minds of all who participated۔
The success of the egg auction in Malmapanpora Hamlet provides a compelling example of the transformative impact of community-led initiatives. Beyond raising funds for the construction of the Masjid, it fostered a feeling of unity, compassion and shared purpose among the villagers.
The spirit of collaboration and the atmosphere of this illustrious egg auction will serve as an inspiration for future such initiatives led by the communities. It serves as a reminder that even the smallest contributions, like dropping a single egg, can have a profound impact and unite the communities together for a greater cause.
From the standpoint of challenges, confusion and uncertainties gripping the world, this tale of the egg auction serves as a ray of optimism, serving as a reminder of infinite possibilities for positive change that arise when people join hands for a common goal. The Malmapanpore village will be remembered for this unique but special initiative of kindness and teamwork that is essential for creating a better future for everybody.

Mudasir Koul ✉ Some seek to get a divorce, while others search for a lifelong partner! Have you ever felt like the world is a complex puzzle, where our dreams sometimes clash with others? Jealousy is a common trait — wanting what others have while they desire what we once possessed. Let’s talk more about it and untie this web. In relationships, some seek to leave marriage feeling trapped, while others search for a lifelong partner. Many crave fame for public recognition, yet some long for attention even if it means being marginalized. Being suddenly drawn into the limelight often makes people appreciate privacy. At these moments, they are longing for times when they are the only people in the room, and they can finally be free from the watchful eyes of the public. While some people hunt for recognition and feel the “publicity pride,” others who want to connect crave the community that accompanies the status. No matter what, our dreams change throughout the life. We are excite...

Editorial⌛ When Mark Zuckerberg invented Facebook, it appeared to be a brilliant idea. Initially, it served as an online mug book for college students, but it quickly evolved into something much larger. People of all ages and backgrounds joined the platform, connecting with their high school classmates and distant relatives. Even churches, bands, and hobbyists formed groups to engage with their followers. These connections, like a complex web, led to even more connections. Eventually, it became possible to be “friends” with everyone you had ever known, including numerous strangers. However, very few of us stopped to consider whether all 1234 of our “friends” deserved access to such personal information. At first, we didn’t question the idea of being friends with every person we had ever known and countless strangers. It was the norm, and sharing everything from dating experiences and concert videos to political opinions and breakfast choices was simply what people did. As a result, man...
