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.

Down-to-earth or deep down the earth!


They did not emerge unexpectedly. As both were moving in a similar direction, one of them asked in a rather not-so-serious manner whether he would go through this way or that different way. This remained part of their cocktail conversations. It can be so said more casually.

They followed the plain cemented path, for it was the convenient way to conclude their straight way to their years-old respective houses. 

Both walked step by step with their calculated gait towards the proper way proceeding to their houses on different sides bordered by a high wall and small entrance door.

When one person's time to turn came, holding his complete tune in the mind as a grown-up to act not otherwise, another one dared to ask courteously whether he would like to sip a cup of hot tea. The tall man had not readily agreed to have a cup of tea with him. Even ginger mixed tea could be served instead if you come with me, he pitched another option. 

But his complete denial of the courteous offer was a bit more instant. He had his conscience as an adult man to behave politely otherwise.

Outrightly rejecting the offer two times he turned towards the small exit gate. He did not fail to mention that he was definitely a down-to-earth person. 

Was this characteristic quality not allowing him to accept the offer of tea? He quickly also added that he had stopped the bad habit of drinking tea. Why was that? Various reasons surround his individual disposition of mind. 

Someone told him that drinking tea has many disadvantages. Saying this, he turned fast towards his way to the house. In fact, while revealing the factual point point he added that his stake in going to next-door neighbours has correspondingly lost interest. Upon his answer, the man replied as if he was saying that he was deep down the earth. 

This led him to laugh for a short moment. What was so far attempted to draw is a scene of the spontaneous meeting. It had been for a while since positive vibes came in the way.
