After Eid Prayer

After Eid Prayers we used to rush back to home with a great deal of excitement and hands in hands with friends. Money used to be in pockets so never forgot to stop at some Aalo Chany (a kind of spicy salad of Grains, Onion and lime water with spices) Temporary Shop. It was never so hygienic but who cared in childhood. Used to enjoy and when the spicy water in that Aalo Chany Chat was ended, we used to ask for more. It was awesome and eyes used to be close when it used to touch the throat.
Awesome days that I cant ever forget. Running through the great crowd of people coming out of Eid Gah (a place where all the Muslims of the area used to gather for the Eid Prayers).
Shoes in our feet used to be old one for the prayers as it was a concept that someone will steal your new shoes in the crowd.
After enjoying that Aalo Chany Chat, it was not a bad idea to visit some more shops especially the food and toys shop so we may come back with heavy Eidi (money given be elders to kids to spend on the festival) and shop a lot from these shops.
Soon after Eid Prayer, we used to find our friends from the crowd to hug them and to greet them Eid. On way back to home, lots of friends and others used to meet who use to hug us to greet us. It was some luck if we meet some elder person who know us as it was a great chance to collect some Eidi. It was a great fun only when...
