So it's Eid time already. I have to admit, I really found this Ramzan tough. I didn't even fast the way I used to. I couldn't function this year without food...didn't have the energy to go on like that and the fasts were quite long. Therefore, I really admire all those who did not find excuses and kept on fasting no matter how tough the timings were. Hugs to all my friends who did!
Well, I have to put down a few things today. We had decided that we will go to Hyderabad one day for food - karhai or pallay (fish). So, on the 2nd last roza we set out for dinner. It was a long drive. It was beyond Sajjad's and Al Habib etc. Quite a scary dark ride with few cars and bumpy road. The policemen stopped us once for nothing but Eidi.
We reached this nameless restaurant. It was quite cold there. I rarely enjoy food but I loved the karhai there. It was very tasty. The chicken tikka was just fine. And it wasn't that expensive either. A good time out. Quite a few families were there. However, the trees in the surroundings gave a haunting look.
What I do want to mention is that while we were out to enjoy the night and while most of the city was outside shopping and doing last minute prep for eid some extremely inconsiderate people happened to encounter us more than once. Different people from the same fraternity but doing the same shit. I have always hated it. It is a norm especially during PPP's regime. There are so many VIP movements for no friggin reason with so much security. One somebody is going in a big brand new car often with no number plate as well from one house to another with 4-5 cars behind for security reasons. The traffic is blocked while they run away with irritating sirens.
As we were coming back home we had 2 such encounters. Some complex bureaucratic shit or superiority complex (whatever you may call them)...thinking we are above everyone else mode. We thought there is an ambulance a couple of times but saw these VIPs every time. The third time we didn't bother and it was an ambulance actually. It is a scary thought...there are times when these shitty movements are being done, ambulances find it difficult to reach their destinations.
I have been writing about my anger against these movements every where, even on other people's blogs. I just want people to think that it's wrong. We are being indifferent to everything actually now. People have stopped caring unless they get stuck in jams themselves. Only if you're in the mess, then it's a problem otherwise all's good.
