Eid Celebrations

Today I am grateful for being alive at this time of the COVID 19 and capable of celebrating Eid on May 13, 2021, while staying at home order is being imposed. This Eid is different from previous Eid celebrations, however, I tried my level best to create Eid festivity and celebration at home. Since Chand Raat, I have been diligent and busy preparing a variety of cuisines for my family for Eid celebrations. I acknowledge and appreciate this Eid for a variety of reasons, for instance:

• Eid day commenced with the wearing of new clothes, prayers and offering Eid greetings to each other, however, due to staying at home orders, people approach each other virtually, for instance, Whatsapp, Viber and messenger were used for this purposes. Before Eid prayers, fitrana is paid

• Elders has distributed gifts and Eidi envelopes to the younger. Eidi genuinely induces joy and happiness. Muslims forgive each other

• There is an Eid feast, lunch or dinner at every household for Eid celebrations. Muslims share meals, along with happiness and pleasure

• Muslims relax, rest and enjoy Eid day. People take photos and make videos for creating pleasant memories

• Personally, today I prepared Biryani, green chicken, gola kebab, ras malai, sheer khurma, salad and raita. The above pic is a collage of meals I prepared and the below picture is my Eid table for Eid lunch for my family only

• This is my Eid celebration, what is yours at this time of the COVID 19 pandemic? don't forget to share, is the request of the day
