Why does the phrase ‘50% off’ make us feel like we’re getting away with something? 😭
Ah, last day was a splendid affair as my beloved family I went shopping for Eid.
Do you know what Eid is? If yes, then well and good, but if not, allow me to paint an Eid’s beautiful picture for You all. Eid is basically a grand celebration after the tough dawn-to-dusk fasting of the sacred Ramadan month. On this day, Muslims adorn themselves with new beautiful dresses, exchange gifts with each other, and give “eddi” (money) to younger ones, a token of Freshness and joy .
Imagine you are walking down a street, dressed in your finest attire, garnish with a delightful fragrance, pockets filled with a bountiful gift of “eddi” money. With joy in your heart and the freedom from fasting and happiness to reunite with your beloved friends. So, it is with this overflowing happiness that today we set out to make Eid extra special.
These are my sister's Eid gifts . Our purpose was to give eddi to my sister, have an iftar within the comfort of her house, and shop for my dress. But, everything didn’t go as smoothly as I write it down here 😭.
Our departure time was set at about 4 o’clock, but due to packing gifts for my sister detained us. As slipping from the packing ribbons and in the race against time , we got late.
We arrived at her doorstep merely 10 minutes earlier before breaking the fast . These beautiful roses welcomed us . 🌹
I was very curious and sweating due to the fast, but the moment I went to the dining hall, I was met with the sight of unparalleled beauty. The ambiance resemble with an ambiance royal Guest .The food, decorations, cleanliness, and everything were top-notch.
Eid shopping
After having our iftar, we had a tea party and then left for the market for Eid shopping 🛍️.
I was very excited to buy new dresses for Eid, but unfortunately, I couldn’t find a single dress for me in the whole market, the entire market seemed devoid of options that resembled with my taste. My sense of Dressing is very minimal. My mother, sister, and I visited every nook and cranny of the whole bazaar not just once but two times. After all that hectic ness, I found a really pretty off-white dress that seemed tailor made for me and suited my personality . Opps, I have just gave you a spoiler of my Eid dress 😂. But no worries . We are a family 💘
I’m not a very big fan of shopping or buying clothes, but for Eid, everything is fair 😀. Then I bought jewelry, bangles, and shoes to compliment my dress ensuring that every aspect of my Eid dress is occasionally demanded.
As the day drew to a close, we returned to the warm embrace of my sister’s home, gathered for a cup of tea. . With grateful hearts and fond farewells, we went back from her house by saying goodbye to her and her gracious hospitality.
Returning home with a heart full of joy of happiness of a new dress and upcoming Eid day ahead . Indeed it was a day filled with warmth laughter and full of Memories.
Thanks for reading this down . I'll catch you all in my next blog. Good-bye till then , beautiful Readers. 🍀
