DAY 137

First day of EID in Pakistan & so far it has been peaceful & quite ok. Hope it will remain like this & all three days of EID would be wonderful & full of joy. EID MUBARAK to all me readers & may you all stay happy & healthy. So the moon was actually sighted this time. Maybe this time their shopping was done in time & their wives clothes got stitched or maybe this time they got better telescopes.

Had a better weekend as Saturday was dedicated to the incomplete shopping for family & Sunday was dedicated for shopping food stuff for EID. The shopping was a tough one. GOD! Literally every other human was in the bazaar. It was getting so hard to even walk freely. I was playing touch me not in the crowd. I was actually saving myself from each person but I was so shocked when ladies were actually pushing & making their way in crowd. GOD! What a shame… I remember I used to play this game in my school days. Me & my friend during the break time used to go in the hall full of human like creatures & walk from one corner to the other without getting touched with anyone & mostly I used to win.

First EID of mine & I did not shave. I am still with a 2 week shave on my face. Well! I am planning to shave but still not sure will I or not. I have been an unlucky person since 1998. Every EID I had to be in the office & still I am in the office. Although a half day but bad luck is bad luck. I did not even sleep last night. No, it was not the excitement but I have a bad habit for not sleeping at nights. GOD help me before I loose it…

EID used to be very special moments in my life. I was just chatting with a friend of mine who is in Germany & he was with his friends. I remember, me & a few others used to arrange a party every first day of EID. There were 15-20 kids & boys having food & then games & we used to start this at 1:30 pm & end it at 4:30 pm. Those were really great days. I still remember that I was the one that was trusted by everyone & the whole collected amount was given to me. Thank you guys for believing in me & for your trust.

Again Peshawar announced EID a day before the rest of Pakistan. I just can’t believe it. This happens every EID. I wonder how could they sight the moon & the rest of the country can’t? Well! This is really a shame. Calling ourselves Muslims & not following anything. Not even thinking for once that the sins of others would be on you as well coz you people are the one making wrong decisions. Hope GOD shows them the right path. How could you follow Saudi Arabia? If you follow them this much then why not following their timings as well? I wonder where these peoples were when brain was getting distributed. They might be looking at the moon at that time as well.
