Main, Eid aur Woh

First of all, Eid mubarak to all my readers.  Some of us must have celebrated Eid on 19th, some on 20th and we celebrated it on 20th. Sound weird specially if Hajj took place on 18th … three eids becominga  tradition in here.

I’m not a big fan of Barri Eid for few reasons. Mainly coz it comes suddenly with no activity fro your side  … like chotti eid comes after one full month of fasting … so if you are not doing hajj; its sudden.

Was looking forward to this eid and then not really. First eid when I literally bought NOTHING; not even mehndi. Apart from saying somewhat forceful Eid Mubarak … cant relly feel its essence this time as yet. Khair, my sis and her two children are here. Rohaan’s grown up and ummm … a bit weary of me – may be I scolded him two times early on :\  he’s as touchy as I used to be am. lately I’m suffering from loads of mood swings … highs and lows.  Chottu ayaan’s masha allah such a pretty baby … ever smiling and a calm kid … awww my sweety sweety -  he even enjoys being kissed =)

In his hyper-excitements ayaan, whom I was carrying in my arms, suddenly straightened his hands … and Bingo – there flied my glasses. So, now with two more days off for markets I’m tired of wearing my glasses with one arm only. I hope I wont be squinted some time soon.

I made chicken makhani today  – yeah our bakra got slaughtered pretty late. Couldnt go to qabaristan since a man promised to come and meet abu so from eid namaaz we came straight home :( couldnt get time laters on … may be that one big reason for all below.

Why does it happen when alone you crave for company and in company you miss the loneliness? AT times, I speak out bad stuff that I very well  know is bad. I cant apologize and I become mute, unrsponsive. I know its bad too but it happens. happened twice this previous month … and at times I feel I should really not speak anything at all.  Like almost all day today my mood was touching -17 … cool, unresponsive and bitter harsh. I even replied to the sms’ so late :P

BTW, yah emotional masayil khatam hi nahi hotay :P Is it a phase?? Khatam hi nahi horahi yah bakwaas phase :P

ps: what a useless rant I’ve written here …  im saddened at Gulgee’s tragic death murder.

pps: Read the post here at eteraz’s  … it reminds me of a skit in 50/50 (or some similar program/drama) where the agent took full expense charges and then took them to Lahore or karachi’s planetarium. Poor simpletons; and the rich fraudulents !

ppps:  My sis said I’ve put on helluva weight that I very well know too. But I hate it when someone says so.  Should I simply die or do something?? Nothing on exercise regime’s becoming regular – I’m real short of stamina & death’’s not so simple.

pppps: And there’s NO significant WOH here – in case you were wondering :P   I better go I’ve umpteenth utensils to wash :|

It would’ve been good to take a picture of you with those glasses on! :D

I think you should focus on the lifestyle or dietary changes that have caused you to put on weight and then try and reverse those. :)

Chicken-makhani sounds yum… :P

Eid Mubarak to you too Asma Baji, I was too pretty much concerned regarding your weight (gosh, can’t beleive you have to lose approx 15 pounds; now thats a hell lot of weight), why don’t you join a gym in the evening; atleast you’ll be regular at it. And Asma Baji mood swings are a major factor involved in weight gain, you better visit a physician, warna you’ll gain more godforbid.

BTW the easiest way to lose wait is brisk walking, I am sure there is park in your vicinity :)

ohey hoey! itne issues! glasses be good sacrifice for nephews and nieces always, na! think of it as your part in the bakra! :)

don’t worry about the weight. look at moi who has lost 15kgs since august and still has some way to go! light exercise and some food control is all you need. you’ll be fine!

as to the mood swings, any time you want to vent, i have 2 ears and a cell phone at your disposal!

hope you had a good day! take care

I love the way you write. Saying everything without going into details. Only a few can write like this.

Me also dont enjoy bakra eid as eid ul fitar cos on this eid I have to play a full time maid’s services as our maid goes on vacations…terrible!and mood swings not due to weight but ”emotional misyal”cos these misyal at times penerate into you and you cant get rid of them whereever you move..

Hahah. Fun post!

So was this REAL chicken makhni, or the kind you get everywhere in Lahore? :/ I’ve only had the real thing in Karachi.

And everybody has issues. Everybody just isn’t as open about all that as you. So yeah, there’s at least SOMETHING right with you :P
