Remember those classic Eids..late 70s early 80s. Our dear mothers with lovin tales of old & our fathers in their inspirational prime. Mutual sibling love & a respectful youth. A £1 Note for Eid but every child king of the corner shop.Sisters in dupatas & parandas & a natural noor. The dawn smell of agarbatis & the dreaded surma ceremony. A few simple dishes, glass coke bottles & a rare box of mitai. Yellow rice with almonds & an occassional glazed cherry find. The real silence & gratitude during Eid Namaz &elders khatham at home. No hired cars just walking & cherishing the open communial spirit. The 3 min BT call 2 Pakistan. Kids in shisha kotis & next day playground tales. Last not least no pride or malice just acceptance of Allahs grace.All our sweet & best memories lost in a breath. Today Eid can be everyday but i know now jus which day i wud have again even so for a moment be it a past glory..
