Guys!! Finally Ramadan came to an almost successful end (I dropped out on a few fasts) and Eid was celebrated on friday. We had been wishing it to happen on Saturday as that would be more holidays and better planning because we were out watching a free movie ( courtsey Amit and HSBC) at 11pm on thursday when this announcement came as a bolt in the blue. All of a sudden we realised that we had nothing ( I mean actually nothing except for tomatoes and potatoes) in the house for our Eid meal which we were committed to. At 1 pm after having watched " Laga Chunri me Daag" we saved our " Laaj" and avoided a "daag" on our record and found some mercy at Carrefour shelves which still had some food left after it was vandalised by many other people like us who had to run for last minute purchases.
By the time we reached home post my midnight brawl with the iranian mattress guy whos was supposed to deliver our arabic type low seating for the living room, it was already 4:00 am and we were dead tired. Silver lining was that Amit and Nitika came with us to stay and help. I managed to catch an hour's sleep before going out for the Eid prayers and then managed to catch a few winks. The food was prepared; this time mostly by Shelly who made some great kashmiri delicacies- "nadru" kababs, Chicken Daniwal Korma and all vegetarian stuff- Rajma, Alu paneer. Of course Nitika and Amit made it possible. I added my bit to the Mutton curry and ofcourse a taste to all the dishes by being around. Rajeeb and Nisha, along with Roney and Sona joined us for lunch and it was a great time...Food, Shishas, Cigars....( It is all in the pictures). Aditiya was aso there..He had come down from Oman for Eid vacation.
I still miss our Eid meals back home in Kashmir and also in Delhi when I used to cook for all at my Bachelor flat in Shalimar bagh. Abhijit, ruksh, jasmeet and everyone...We miss you guys....
I hope you like the pictures
