New Year Mubarak and a Happy Eid

New Year Mubarak and a Happy Eid

Once again, an Islamic holiday has coincided with a predominantly Western festival, and though most of the Islamic world celebrated Eid three days ago, we in Pakistan did it on New Year's Day.

Due to the recent passing away of my grandmother, my family isn't fully celebrating either event, though at least we're all together at this time. I was also down with a terrible flu the past few days and was bed-ridden, unable to even blog.

Best wishes for 2007 and Eid-ul-Azha to everyone else. May there be more reasons to celebrate this year.
