Eid in Lahore this year was certainly everything I had expected it to be (no pun intended!). From the late announcement just before midnight, to the sweltering heat, the hustle bustle of Lahore and totally crappy Eid programming by Geo; it was anything but uneventful. I tried to make the most of my first Eid in Pakistan after a couple of years, so for a change didn't spend Eid day at work or in bed.
We'd actually been out really late considering it was a Ramadan night and just got the surprise call around midnight saying that Eid had been announced. This led to a frantic phase of grocery shopping and working in the kitchen till 2am. After the initial cursing and complaining phase, I finally figured that it was in fact a good thing. Spending half of a five day long weekend in Ramadan is nearly not as much fun :)
All in all it was a lot of fun meeting up with everyone in Lahore and call up friends and family. Surprisingly the phone networks behaved pretty well on Eid day (as compared to the total crash everyone faced at the time of Eid announcement the previous night). My ISP was pretty much idle so got the most out of my connection downloading last week's shows and Smallville's previous season.
I even got dust off my camera and took a few family pictures which came out quite good. But it was hard keeping everyone still since it was quite warm outdoors, even in the evenings.
The weekend was so eventful, that i didn't even get time to finish off Crysis :)
