Eid Mubarak to you all. I am pretty sure every house must be busy in preparations for the festivities. I have beautiful memories of Eid back home in India. To say it was a golden period would be much better as I don’t remember spending eid with a huge celebrations and fervor after my parent’s death. Eid was a huge family affair for us .The festivities would start from the sighting of the moon. After Iftar me & my cousins would rush to the terrace competing who find the moon first. The greeting of Chand Mubarak were exchanged and the preparations for the eid would begin. Cleaning, changing the drapes & menu for the next day would be finalized. Early morning we would wake up to the aromas of Sheer Khurma being prepared by Ammi. And then all the men would eat Sheer Khurma before leaving for prayers. Once the men left for prayers, all the women & kids dressed in our best attire would gather in a family hall for our eid prayers lead by my Ammi. The men would start returning from masajid & greeting would be exchanged with demands of Eidi.
