Shurton ko bhi wohi iftari khila dejiye ga.

On a serious note, frankness comes when you share your joys and grieves with others. Ramadan and Eid are the best occasion to introduce you and soft image of your religion.

I think it is part of the phrase - no stand-alone meaning - I think!

Re: Eid for Hindus, Diwali for Muslims

Last week, my sister made iftari to share with her friend. When she went to give her iftari, her door was locked. so she gave that to another neighbor. After iftari, a boy came to return burtan. He said to my elder sister that Ammi says thanks and she said that ye LaRkiyan mujhe salam nahin kartin. He said ’ Ammi keh rehi hain ke hamare ghar zaroor aaiye ga’. My sister told me that we rarely see aunty and whenever we see her we say salam, but she didn’t reply.

Yesterday that aunty sent us yummy iftari.. Fruit chat, dahi phulki, channa chat, jalebi and pakoRe :yummy:

Thats how interaction starts. Sometimes, we make a final image in first interaction, but the person comes out to be different when we get proper introduction.

Re: Eid for Hindus, Diwali for Muslims

Ok.. you didn't share your experience of Eid or Ramadan?

Re: Eid for Hindus, Diwali for Muslims

Forget interactions with Muslims. Our social network was relatives and families from our community. Most visitors were from our community.

Mother would give sweets also to the other 3 flats on ground floor and they to us.

The biggest cultural shock was being invited by our Marathi neighbir Diwali morning to eat sweets - all kids sit on floor.

No Muslims in our colony, no Muslims in our school, none or very very few in uni

Re: Eid for Hindus, Diwali for Muslims

Why it was a shock when a Marathi family invite you sweets? Don't you invite others for sweets?

Diwali is more of a North festival. Southies do celebrate it - more of axfamily thing.

For Navestri - 9 nights mother would invite ladies and be invited by other ladies.

Most our function no formal invitation. We make sweets distribute to close neighbors and family - and give sweets to any guests. Family or friends just show up unannounced.

Maybe I. Upper middle class families they did formal invitations etc.
