Hmm this new years was a strange one for me it made me contemplate quite a bit.
Firstly too all my muslim friends, brothers, sisters Eid Mubarak and too everyone happy new years.
This new years was one of the first that i had stayed home in a long time and it was strange. Part of me could not sit still i felt restless like i had to be somewhere and doing something. Yet the fact that it was a big night stayed my hand. However why did sitting at home seem so hard?I felt caged even. I read about the muslim people who had eid and that night went to the square in jhb for the new years baash and part of me was disgusted but the other half hugely envious. Howcome they got to go out and i had to sit at home? It's truly a conflicting feeling. No to mention the fact that i had just watched a huge party on tv to usher in the new years. A rave party too? Maybe it didn't feel like eid this year cos well there was no sheep.
I don't know about you people but the no cutting thing doesn't agree with me. I enjoy the toul of cutting at home and working the whole morning and resting finally in the evening. And i missed qurbani meat for Lunch! :-(
but i digress did anone feel the same as i did on that eid night?

i get exactly what you saying man- this has also been a rather uneventful new years for me. then agian- last year i spent new years watching anger management with my bro in law in new zealand.
its funny you mention the slaughtering thing- my friends and i did the nightline spot on radio al ansaar on Eid night and we spoke about how important it is to cut at home- to get the kids involved etc
