Eid festival...

Festivals are a true blessing indeed! Eid's eve is here and like every year there is a lot happening around, people rushing towards the market, to shop and get the most stylish garment, sandals and jewellery. There are different categories working together to make this eve a beautiful one, I will be taking each category and discussing each,
So the first category is the
 "children" category: this is the most fun and exciting category, children are very excited for this eve, no! that's  not because they get new garments and stuff but because there pockets get heavy with its arrival, yes, I am talking about the "Eidi" the money that relatives give to children every year on this festival. That's the most crucial part of eid-ul-fitr and the most intriguing one.kids  have a competition for getting the most out of there elders  and the one with the most Eidi wins.
The second category is the
"teenage" category:in this category there sort-of goes a competition, the both opposite genders shop hard for getting something that's  unique and that stands out, teenage girls go crazy for shopping, and they are the most busy ones in this category, they shop for the jingling bangles that match with there elegant garment, and of course matching foot wears.The another most important part of this festival is the "mehendi" (henna). Girls visit parlours to put on the most intriguing designs, or set a gathering at a house and then put henna on each others hands.
The third category is the,
"adult" category:Here in this category there is a lot going on, the most busy category of all, women are busy with cooking, finding recipes in magazines and cooking shows, cleaning the house and giving it a presentable look, shopping, visiting parlour for facial, or a new haircut, balancing everything perfectly.And than there is the opposite gender, perhaps the most "stressed" out one perhaps as there pockets loosen a bit and they give out money to every child visiting the house.haha but this festival is so lovely that it doesnt make them feel that they are losening there pockets but it makes them feel that they are giving out love and giving out happiness. They also visit the mosque early morning to offer "eid namaz" (Eid prayer), which purifies them and blesses  the entire day.
The fourth and the last category is the,
"old" category: the most affable category of all, they shower there prayers and there love on the all other categories, they enjoy each and everything this festival brings.

So , let this eid bring love and smiles on everyone's faces. Let's celebrate!
