EIDI

It was 6 in the morning when my nephew who is 3 yrs. old jumped on me and started shouting chalo utho na phowii (a short word for bua), I gave him a slap coz I hate people when they woke me soo early irrespective of their age .i love to sleep I can sleep for the whole day if given a chance. Since it was ID-IL-FITR (Eid) everyone at my house has already up and was doing something or the other. I was at my grandmother’s place so all my uncles and aunts were there and my cousins to. Our house was full packed with people…these types of family get together are generally observed either on marriage or on festivals. I love it when my cousins are there, being the eldest in the family I have the authority to dominate and influence them easily.

I finally left my bed around 8….when I went on the ground floor…everyone started shouting at me and scolding me .my mom who always say that I am irresponsible said out the same words again one more and this time in front of my aunts and cousins. I was the last one to get up. All the male members had already left for NAMAAZ... On eid the time for namaaz was 9 but coz of rain everyone left early so that they could get the space of their choice. While all the females where preparing SEWAYIAN and some non- vegetarian delicacies like KEBABS and MUTTON CURRY.

I was assigned the work of changing bed covers, cushions and table cloth. I find it really boring but didn’t have any other option, so I started with my job. First I cleaned the drawing rooms all the bedrooms and then changed the covers .it took me around 1 hour as I have done delegation of authority, I divided the work according to floors and did the ground floor myself as kitchen was situated their and my mom was keeping an eye on me.my sister heeba who is in 12 class did the first floor and the other two arshia (12) amaan (9) together did the third floor. I bribed them by saying that I will give them EIDI.

Around 10 everyone came back after offering namaaz, by then all the female members were ready in their new dresses .everyone started shouting EIDI and my dad and uncles gave us good amount of money which we spend either on movies or shopping. My cousins started asking eidi from me...and I started making stupid excuses which now days are not acceptable in front of kids who are over smart .so I handed them a box of chocolate which my best friend gave me on eid.

Since I didn’t had any other option I gave them …b

ut coz of my bad luck my nephew took the whole box and was not giving anyone…we all tried taking it from him  but he said its mine ..Ye mera hai!

Guests started visiting our house and we all were busy in entertaining them serving them sewayian, chole, dahi bade …in between they were whispering me that we want eidi otherwise we will tell your mom that we have helped you.

This time I really panicked coz if my mom comes to know about this she will be really upset from me and this time my dad to.

I started thinking of buying some stuff for them but they want cash or want to go out with me for dinner. I told them I will be giving them after lunch and this time for sure….i was really not able to concentrate on food. On eid an extremely delicious lunch is cooked and I was not able to enjoy it just for a stupid reason, because I was afraid of its consequences .i started having my favorite kebabs with SHEERMAAL (sweet bread) and BAKARKHANI (multi layered, rich and sweet, sometimes with silver foil on the top).and for desert we had three kinds of sewayein one with milk and one without milk and the other one with a lots of dry fruit (my favorite).

After getting full from having yummy food I called my cousins and told them they I will be taking them out for dinner, they started screaming coz they couldn’t believe that I am actually fulfilling my promise. Around 7 all 4.5 of us went out... (.5 is my nephew coz he is just 3). I took them out for dinner to DESI VIBES, we all love its dal makhani and paneer and the varieties of pickles that they serve…. It’s awesome! We also did a little shopping from ferns and petals for one of my aunts.

I thought I should make everyone happy since it was eid.to be honest I did it just because of ADOMADO…which has saved me earlier too and this time it did it again. I used my credits points in desi vibes as well as ferns and petals to avail discounts…which in end saved my money. Thanks once again to my credit points which are available to me because of ADOMADO.
