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.

Premonition was right but not prognosis


  


If either of the two happens to lose the municipal elections, the loser will not hesitate to shave his beard. This was a firm promise, but their assurance was burst like a balloon. 

It was more like a shallow promise in the heat of the elections. In a mostly earnest, insightful and of course politically tinged conversation, it remains closely a simple nature of politicians.

Both the leaders publicly challenged each other to cut their well-trimmed beards. As they both had beards, they decided to throw this very peculiar tantrum straight at each other. 

Fortunately, one party leader prevailed in the fiercely contested BMC elections. However, none ventured to shave their beards. 

Political leaders continue to quarrel with one another on trivial matters, without any gravity. Political leaders did not wait to defy each other on various points.

This talk even continued on YouTube with all the vehemence. Both politicians took part in the recently concluded BMC elections. One leader made a vitriolic statement against another party's candidate, who used the symbol of a kite. 

Then, another party leader replied that if the final results vary, he would seriously shave his beard. The results are clear, but nobody appeared to be readily moving to do what was promised.

Will it hurt anyone? The doubt was right, but not the foretelling. It looked quite odd, didn't it, but who remains a true believer in democratic values? 

Everything happens for a political purpose, and nothing is considered useless during elections. While none took the trouble of naming both the persons, as there was no need to mention their respective names at that delicate time.
