Why Tarawih?
The desis at the local masajids are making the habit of blindly following a group by leaving after 8 rakaats
Some funny momments:
Uncles burping during prayer…oh man, seriously do not eat 30-60 minutes b4 coming to the masjid!
Kids running around in the background..
the desis might not be completely blind... it was sunnah of the Prophet SAW to ONLY read 8 tarawih.... Hazrat Umar (r.a.) is the one who started offering 20 rakats (i guess it helps finishing the quran that way)...

The 8 rakats you are referring to were tahajjud prayer, not tarawih. Even in Makka and Medina, we pray 20 rakats, Alhamdulillah.
