Let me tell you a story that took place during my journey to Bandarvon. When I returned from Bandarvon in 2016 after giving a tour, I saw a shawl in one of the shops. A shawl is something that all women wear in winter to keep warm. I thought I should buy a shawl for my friend. She was a close friend and indeed a helpful person in my life. I bought the shawl for her and gave it to her after coming back. I told her that it was very special to me and that when I saw it, it reminded me of her. I gave it to her as a gift, and she received it as one of her precious things. I offered her the shawl because she was one of my special and close friends. At that time, I also thought I was in love with her. So, I bought it for her.
