Eid-

And so it came and went this year
And I sat and saw it pass
I was with who I wanted to be with
And yet-
I missed my family
I missed my people
I missed my culture
I missed myself
I don't always like those things
Sometimes they are tedious
Odius and overbearing
Sometimes they are fake
And sometimes unnerving
But inspite of it all
Today I missed...
I missed them all

After a long time I visit ur blog and this post was one I could have written. I missed eid. I missed the anticipation, the excitement, the food, the festivities, the hugs and people. I missed my near & dear ones so much. I had my special someone but sometimes its just not enough. I was hurting & I missed the comfort of home. Memories can be sweeter than reality. I guess was yearning for the safety of the past as I saw it.
Monday...back to the real world.
Rise & shine.

Though belated but a heartiest *EID MUBARAK* to u.
I can feel at heart this emotion of yerz of missing things n missing ppl cuz an Eid with my family with full bloom came after lyk 5 years for me. And i felt deeply all that was missing for last so many years.
But after having all there still was something that was very very dearly missed and it was , it is n it ll remain "U".
Have every day as full of happiness as eid.
Bottle of Red Grapes Nectar waiting for u.
