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.

Fruits of patience are always sweet


Asking for the wrong fare has become a habit of the auto rickshaw carriers. They only try to read the faces of helpless passengers, who more often do not oppose their terrible unacceptable or unreasonable fare at the instant. Sometimes the passengers decide to accept their demand in urgency.  

Particularly the battery-driven auto carrier wallahs are not good with the passengers in any manner. The traveller has to submit to the stubbornness of these auto-rickshaw carrier drivers. But as we fully well know the fruits of patience are always sweet. 

Exuding an air of ease, one tired passenger steps into the carrier to go to the destination, thinking about the bloated fare raised by the auto-rickshaw driver. Just as he reaches the desired place, he starts to pay the fare. Still, the driver, in a fit to get enough fare, inadvertently returns the amount by deducting the fare earlier suggested by the weary passenger. 

This incident also provides a rare glimpse into daily life where dishonesty does not always win by allowing people to pay unnecessarily more fare. 

It seems that the Almighty above the blue sky is undoubtedly monitoring how – and when – honest ones are compellingly tricked by the worldly insincere or flawed people. 

What was the need to ask for more fare than a fixed amount for that short distance?  Despite his acute cleverness, the cunning auto rickshaw man does not succeed in his optimistic objective to secure a bit of an extra amount. He gets the amount he needs at that critical time. 

The passenger saved himself without so much exercise as a flyaway fluttering in the breeze. The news emphasizes strictly individual and financial issues that might be matched with fraudulent activities.

The idea of a deceitful act proved a dream but it had revealed the driver's conceit. He might have spent most of his day pressing through such unfaithful efforts, exploring every stake to accomplish his hypocritical aim. He could expect his due success but could not be secure before his wrong thoughts.
