Eid is here Again...... :-)


I remember writing an article on the same day exactly a year ago on the very same occasion of Eid... Wowwww, its Eid-Ul-Fitr today!!! Doesn't the very essence of Eid spill a fragrance of joy n happiness into our hearts..true. I slept with quite a gloomy mind last nite worrying about things happening in life, about how certain future's gona be and loadz of human-life crap running around my head. But it was a fresh n lovely Sunday when my alarm went on at 7:30am. Yuppie! It's Eid, the most joyous day of the year has arrived, It's time to dress up in the best of your ethnic wardrobe n the eagerness to rush to prayers and meet all those people who care and share your brotherhood. As usual, excitedly, i quickly sprung up in action early n got into my ethnic wear to rush for Eid prayers. Hugged all my buddies, exchanging gud wishes..Woah, wot a feeling! If u need anything in this world to eradicate all your worries, hug people, truly makes a difference(Somebody said it rightly on her blog)... As soon as prayers end and once you are done with meeting relatives n friends n exchanging hugs, you so wana rush back home to taste that one dish which you've waited for a whole year(that's a fact, u taste it once a year n u crave for it each year, which otherwise wudn't excite ur taste buds if u kept eating it all year long)...Yeah i'm talking about Mom's Sevaiyan or the 'Sheer Khurma' garnished with almonds n cashews at times. I feel my fasts come to an end only after i eat a bowl-full of it. Is this all that u had been waiting for , is this all that Eid can offer u, does this happiness last only for the morning? Wait, thats just a teaser for Eid, the rest of the day is filled with more surprises n more happy things around. Lunch Feast awaits for the entire family to sit down n eat together on this day, which normally doesn't happen on other days when the men in the family are busy earning their bread-and-butter. I had am amazing feast today, n hope that it gets better every year with more people joining in for the feast. Here i am sitting in my room with a stomach full of biryani waiting for the arrival of somebody special or the occurence of something special. This is the only part of the "Eid-day" that you get to relax n people like me find eternal peace to blog...lol. I wrote this even last year n writing it again, No matter wot, u definitely sense something missing in u or in ur life which still doesn't supplement Eid's joys to fill the bowl of eternal joy. Until last year i didn't know wot was that one thing which was missing in life. But Today, i found wot i was missing all these years, YES, i found that one pearl which was missing in my garland to make it shine from all sides. I found that one page which was missing in my book of life, which completes the sync of my story. And i discovered that one tree in my forest which could bring rain to the entire region whose absence had left my forest dry for all these years. But guess wot? I'm still missing that thing 'today' even after having found it. Finding is another thing and owning that thing with you at this moment is another thing. I hope i'll have it with me for next Eid. I miss it today, but atleast happy about its existence in this world and that i know i can acquire it. Woah, i got totally lost with my feelings at this time..Lemme come back. It's gona be Eidy time all evening when you go visit relatives. But some of the best Eidys come as surprises like i had one last year, a wallet given to me by a person who i least expected would give me Eidy. N then on traditions follow, i hope to get some gud Eidys today, but not the best ones for sure...lol. Anyways budz, thats all i had to share about this Eid. I gotta pack my bags n leave back to Bangalore n back to work tomorrow morning. True, Happiness in life doesn't last long. It will all come to an end at 10pm tonight when i start my journey leaving back all the memories back here at home. Its back to the world of fast-paced buzzing activities tomorrow to pursue all your material dreams. Thats it for now folks, thanx for reading, will keep blogging whenever i feel its important to pin down something that i wana share with u all... Peace out!
