SPECIALITY OF EID !!


EID..


a day filled with delight, a day filled with happiness.A day for which we wait for so many days,a day on which tears turn into laughter, a day which makes everyone content. A day on which all the grudges and misunderstandings are overlooked..
 A day which makes every Muslim feel the joy, feel equally glad as others.  Eid al-Fitr is a day of great cheerfulness and thanksgiving. Muslims celebrate by gathering with friends and family, preparing sweet fragilities, wearing new garments, giving each other gifts and putting up lights and other decorations in their homes. A common greeting during this holiday is Eid Mubarak, which means, “Have a good sanctified eid “

Eid ul fitar comes after ramadhan ! The most pleasant month in a Muslims life,our schedule changes.. everything changes. We becomes more thoughtful about our deeds, faith and cognizant about our activities. We start thinking beyong ourselves,more like we start living for others .
When we get eid ul fitar we usually are a lil unhappy about ramadhan  saying good bye to all of us,as no month can be this blissful for us as RAMADHAN KAREEM J
But Eid is eid no matter what ! :D

EID IN PAKISTAN !
funny thing  : after 30 days of controlling ourselves from eating and drinking for hours in day time, we literally feel  like breaking our fast if we eat during the day after eid  ^^


It is said that  choti Eids (the eid we get after ramadhan,also known as meethi eid,and eid-un-saeed ) are special for girls as they do a lot of shopping,otherwise on EID UL AZHA ( festival of sacrifice) ladies are usually busy with arranging the meat and stuff that they hardly get time to enjoy ..Although the crowd of girls on stalls of bangles and cosmetics is always there!
after all it’s the time in year when a smile can be seen on every face,the smiles on the faces of young fellows while shopping for eid is adorable.. J
a few bangles stall :
bangles :)

bazaars on eid 
bargaining session :p


the bazaars are so over crowded that you can't even stand in that crowd,lasies bargaining all around you and shop keepers selling stuff on doble prices is really a delight to witness :D
plus girls never celebrate eid without hena :)
they make beautiful designs on their hands to express the joy and happiness :)
my sister told the mehndi girl to make a bridal design
LOL :D

besides cooking of delicious dishes and foods holds significance in eids .
Ladies especially mothers cook new and mouth watering dishes..
sheeer khurma is one thing always made on this eid.. and then biryanis ofcourse..
these are the things that are made in every second house in Pakistan .


Gents offer prayer in mosques,before they leave for the namaaz (prayer) they usually eat some dates as per sunnah ..  and when they return the whole family gets the breakfast.
meanwhile the ladies get ready.
after the breakfast , eidi is distributed among the kids ( eidi is the money given to the young lot for which we all are excited ) no age limit counts in it,I see my mother giving eidi to me,and her mother ( my grandma ) giving eidi to her and this continues J
Functions, gathering and parties is all what eid is for us.. as we don’t have any such responsibilities on our shoulders now J

EID MUBARAK EVERY ONE .. :) 

I wish to get eidis from you all though :p..
just a potrayal attemmpt of pakistani eid ! :D
