Annual Eid celebrations

Clearly, the main activity of the annual Eid celebration remains attending a relative's residence. On this particular occasion, relatives make sure to see each other at home.  They are amused by a wide variety of dishes. The sweet flavour of the most significant meal, sewai , seems to be blending with joy and celebration. Even so, traditional recipes are significantly altered for the celebration.  During a visit to a relative's home, it became more apparent that not only did the dishes on the table resemble those of a five-star hotel, but also...  The golden-coloured cutlery placed on the table created the illusion of an upscale hotel. Each item placed on the table served as a reminder of the refined and opulent way of life.

Frankincense






With the slow onset of the summer season, the mosquito menace surrounds us. There remains a buzzing sound all along the night. 

Only mosquito repellent can relieve us. But the victimized inhabitants are showing a bit more distaste towards its open usage.

The other day we found frankincense was burnt to ward off mosquitoes from the area of the room. 

There was ample smoke that was quite suffocating. To repel the worst cloud of smoke the ceiling fans were sooner switched on. 

It was only the gathering of the people was relieved satisfactorily. 

As the frankincense was burnt for the first time the people realised the panic.

They were certainly not accustomed to such smoke as the frequent usage of the liquid repellent happened to be more in practice.

The smell of loban was in no way disliked. What disturbed the gathering was nonetheless the smoke not finding an easy way to exit.
