Eid and Eidi

Has the way of celebrating Eid changed with the passage of time? Do you still get excited for Eid like you used to be say (15-20 years ago)?

How much Eidi you used to get at that time and how did you spend that?

Do you think that younger generation is as excited as you used to be and they spent money (Eidi) on same things?

lols. aajkal bache boht munh banate hain 20 rupe eidi le kar.. aur unki ammaen tauba tauba aisi ghoorti hain.. jaise IMF qarz ki qist ada na karne per ghoorta hai

Re: Eid and Eidi

No I don't get excited about Eid at all . With the increased responsibilities , its no longer fun, just a day I wish would pass quickly.
As for eidi , its more than what I used to get when I was young ..I used to get excited about eidi previously ,but not anymore.

Re: Eid and Eidi

But why its just for children now. I have seen our grand parents used to be excited and happy on Eid, but our generation and a generation before us somehow lost the excitement and sense of happiness. I've heard many people saying its a boring day (more boring than a usual holiday)

Re: Eid and Eidi

I guess you are talking of total Eidi

Re: Eid and Eidi

yes , grandparents still get excited abt it , but then oldage is another childhood isn't it.
Yes , its actually a lot more boring than a usual holiday.
By the time eid morning comes , you are so dead tired doing eid k tayyari that you don't even feel like dressing up for eid.The tired you has to then get up and serve guests n all and you wish for the day to end.

Re: Eid and Eidi

Well actually at our place gents and kids do enjoy.We ladies don't.

Re: Eid and Eidi

Is this lack of enjoyment relates to kitchen and cooking? :sid:
