Eid , For every one!!!!!

"I want to celebrate Eid. I don't want to work today :(  "

I pushed my feeling to the Whisper app to know about the views of the people when I was getting ready for my office. Less traffic as lots of people where celebrating Eid with Kheer, Haleem, Fresh Fruits and some of the best dishes which I have never tasted. 

On my way to office Facebook is the best time pass, If some one pings you then its better to utilize your time. :P 

I updated my status to "Happy Eid". Hoping to express my feelings. 

Suddenly I got a message

"Muslim h kya be?" (Are you Muslim?)

"Kyun? Eid celebrate karne k liye Muslim hona padhta h kya?"(Why,  Is it necessary to be Muslim to celebrate Eid?)

A message made me so curious to know what kind of person is he and what he thinks.

I pinged him again

"My boy friend is Muslim"

"What!! Oh girl How come?"

Obviously, Its disappointing to know about the girl you are hitting from last 7 days.

But I was disappointed to know that he has a problem not with a guy but a Muslim Guy.

I got a message after an hour 

"Hey!!! Is this your man? http://www.facebook.com/profile?xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Oh that's my good friend but why he is searching my profile and getting the list of all the Muslim friends. Pathetic. Randomly I replied "Yes"

"Girl, How can you like some one like this. "

"Hum mar gaye the kya?"(Wasn't I available)

"Whats the problem in that, he is sophisticated,  passionate, handsome, so respectful and descent guy." I was getting irritated. He is my good friend how people can judge others just by there Religion, Caste.

"I also have all qualities. Anyways but he is Muslim"

"Man, Let me teach you the life best lessons you will ever learn. I know your brain does not have that kind of cells to understand this but still let me try.

He is a Muslim and he is my friend . I have lots of friend who are Muslim. Go and get a friends like me

you will realize .

They will teach you how every person is different. They will invite you in there festivals and when you go to there place you will feel how happy they are, how loving and caring your friend's mothers are. They will give you the best party with awesome meals, you will learn to celebrate one of the best festival with Kheer. 

You will learn how they are raised by Queens (Mother). They will teach you to treat every girl, women in this world with respect. Your friend's parents, siblings will teach you how they heartily welcome other guests and if you are smart enough you will notice ' Tahzeeb ' when they talk. I know you won't be able to make it but at least you will learn how to talk to your elders. They will teach you how to make peace with the others, how to be different and how to be proud who ever you are . 

And Please try to watch the Indian cricket matches with them you will realize you are nothing in front of them when it comes to cheering up Indian players. And how to make peace at the end of India and Pakistan match when you guys will pass comments and show your levels of Casteism/Racism. Well they don't care much obviously they know your level. 

And yeah try to invite them to celebrate ' Holi ' , ' Diwali ' you will learn how they enjoy these festivals and how to keep promises of ' Raksha Bandhan '. They will teach you how smart they are , and generous too. Still they will love you the way you are.

 And after learning to all of these at the end learn how they keep their daughters as princesses. Idiot. " 

"Ok I m sorry I should not speak anything about your friends"

Some people are not meant to learn "Yes. You should not offend any person. Just not my friends. Not a single person through your cheap levels of casteism/racism. "

"Why you are getting angry. Itni si bat me? (Its a small thing) I was kidding. But you are different girl and your choices are different. Try to be normal" 

My patience got over " Listen Dude, Get lost"

Next step was to unfriend that person as soon as possible

After leaving early from my office Me and my parents went to celebrate Eid with one of my Dad's best friend. 

"Assalamwalekum Uncle. Uncle Hope this time I did right.? :P"    

Aunt replied "Yup you always do correct girl. I have made special Kabab and Sheer Khurma for you"

"Thank you. I was waiting for this day to enjoy your specials.  " 

"NO need to wait Girl, You can Come any time you want. :)"

Eid Mubarak!!! to Every one :)
