Re: Eid
my dad hates mehndi on my hand..he says it looks...well basically disgusting...so i think thts y i dnt like it..
I went to Lahore a month ago and did all of my shopping from there. My clothes, my chooriyan, my mehndi etc. We are holding a huge chaand raat gathering in AR and it is in the iftar tent. Me and my mom are the organisers. We will have two ladies that will put henna, a quiz on ramadan and eid. Games to play, food and lot's more.
First day of eid we are having an open house nashta from from 8 till 12. Then from 5 till around midnight we are going to 3 different peoples houses. 2nd day of eid we have been invited to a khandaan get together in my choti dadhee ammi's house. All the cousins and everything. 3rd day of eid, in the morning me and mom are going to go watch DIL BOLE HADIPPA and in the night we are hosting a dinner for 17 families at our house.
Basically that's it and then back to university ! Thank god getting 5 holidays for eid this time.

Re: Eid
For me Eid is so much fun! All our family from different cities come to the place where we live, kind of whole of our khaandan lives here.. On chaand raat we get mehndi on our hands, And some cousins come to our place for Aftari, my bro hates the smell of mehndi tho...
On Eid we all get up very early and go to the Masjid for Eid ki Namaz, its our family Masjid so almost we get to meet everyone thr.. Its soo much fun, esp all the baray enjoy the Eidi's of Engaged girls(cousins).. I love it too.. We all get ready for Eid ki namaz with great excitment...
Actually thts the best part... Then we go to different houses to meet family... Ofcourse mum makes yummy Saawaiyan before going, esp since its said you shud eat sumthing before going to the Masjid.. Its fun, but sometimes have to get rdy in such a rush! esp if we sleep late on chaand raat...
OMG!!!! im soooo excited can't wait for Eid..... Tho my clothes are still at the darzi, lol.. hope i do get it soon!

Yes, well we are a tight knit community of Pakistanis here and we are a lot of Pakistanis here so EID is always something to look forward to each year. Both the small one and the big one. My mom likes to do everything perfectly hehe. Thank you and I wish you the same.
Get the Mehndi tattoos/stickers, no smell :p
Ohhhh that's a brilliant idea Mianva. Wonder if I can get 'em here in Denver.
