KARACHI:
Eid is here! And like every year, it has brought with it lots of blessings. There's food, new clothes, new shoes and lots (or so we hope) of Eidi.
If you're a teenager, or even if you're not, you try your best to impress your relatives hoping they would take out that stash of Rs100 notes from their pockets and hand it over to you. Sometimes though it's the Rs10 notes and you get only five of them and that too if you're lucky.
Let's take a look at eight different kinds of relatives we will need to impress this Eid and let's quickly start planning on how to woo them:
1. Daadi/Naani ammi
Our favourite Eidi givers are our beloved grandparents. Their pockets are as big as their hearts, and even if they don't give a good amount, that Eid-special 2-minute kiss in the morning just makes up for everything.
2. Mothers
They have been tortured and given a lot of stress the entire month of Ramazan. From late night shopping to making iftaris, mothers just want to rest on Eid. And when you ask about Eidi, "Beta you know that's your dad's department, I made the lunch."
3. The random uncle from abroad, "Beta call him Maamu"
4. The Taya
5. Fathers
6. Bhaiya and Aapi
7. The Phupa
8. The family friends
Eid is a happy occasion for Muslims all over the world, no matter how much Eidi they get. But it could be much more than that if you share that Eidi of yours with people who don't get any at all.
