First day of Eid. It's alright if it was a little different than the past years, what matters is that you're safe and healthy. We can't have relatives gathering this time, what matters is that your loved ones are near you and safe. It's alright if you couldn't get new clothes this time, what matters is that you have enough resources to ride out this trying time. It might be very small but a blessing should be celebrated. Be grateful for what you have and inshallah before we know it this will all be over. Eid Mubarak ! 📷 @mtphotographyyy

Spending Eid 2020 at home: I was talking to a cousin of mine who is a doctor in the UK and she asked me to urge everyone here to please stay at home and be extra careful. Eid at home, doesn’t need to be boring. There are many ways in which we can make it special and memorable. Even if you feel this is an extra precaution, even if your local rules allow you, please stay at home. I’m sharing some tips on UrduMom.com (direct link in profile) on how to enjoy Eid at home. And then I have the amazingly talented and inspiring @nataliyakhanphotography sharing some great tips on how to take memorable family photos this Eid on my stories (I will save it in the highlights too). This year there is no rush to go from one house to another, so pause and hug those around you extra hard. Dress by @aqsa.warraich Eid lantern by @happystreet_store #EidatHome #Eid2020

💐Motherhood: the eternal negotiation of our various selves. Balancing your own needs with those around you (ie drink your coffee in peace or clean up poop). It’s beautiful, rewarding, infuriating, and down right frustrating at times💐 . . . Motherhood is also something that defines women in our culture. As soon as a girl is old enough, it’s time for her to get married, move into her husbands house, have a family of her own… because that is what truly completes her. If a woman chooses to or can’t have children for any reason, eyebrows start raising. Questions are asked. Suggestions for all sorts of things are offered. Motherhood, after all is the penultimate success of women, and without it we haven’t arrived to the pedestal. . . . So, as much as I love this holiday because I am a mom and somehow I’ve “arrived” at the pedestal, this is a fairly recent accomplishment for me after 9 years of marriage. I have only one child, who I had after 6 years of marriage. Lots of questions were raised about our “choices” (mostly me putting my education before a family) and solutions offered. I was often told that my marriage would be better if we “just had a child”. People asked me indirectly “is everything okay?” because I hadn’t given them “khush khabri” (good news) yet. I also often got told to stop my phd and “bus kardo parhai” (that’s enough studying) to have a child because being a mother was the most coveted feather in my cap as a woman, and that my own personal wants and desires did not matter. I am beyond blessed to have my family who supports me, and my husband who kept telling me to ignore these comments and keep my head down and keep going forward. And now, that Liyana is 4… do you think the “pressure” stops? The incessant comments about when Liyana is being blessed with a sibling have been asked since she was ONE. So in short, even when you think you have arrived… that moment of relief is short lived 😅 . . . So, this Mother’s Day – whether your are a mom or not… I would like to remind you: you are MORE than that. You are your own person before you became a mother, or yearned to be a mother. You are absolutely allowed to have your own goals!

He thought he would get away with wearing his work “chappal” (slides) and I wouldn’t notice 😂 Ok fam, my house needs to undergo a major clean up 🧹 before Eid tomorrow. I still need to wrap the gifts, straighten out the home, buy decor items, food, and more gifts. We are planning to do a drive through Eid with our friends because COVID and we don’t have any family here. What are your Eid plans? 💕😊 P.S. Tons of clean up videos coming to my stories today and tomorrow. Brace yourselves!

Finding the lockdown unbearable to some extent? 😑Me too! But let me shed some light on a realization that covid has brought for me. . So I can understand humans joining forces against a common external “enemy” – such as a virus infecting everyone regardless of race, gender or age 🦠 Or may be even aliens landing on earth some day, threatening to hurt us all 👽 But what seems absolutely ridiculous in comparison is violence inflicted by humans on other humans. You can’t negotiate with viruses or aliens, but what kind of a problem could you possibly have that you cannot resolve with peaceful dialogue among governments and people? . Lately I can’t help but wonder just how traumatizing it must be to live through a war. I mean – more than half of the world experienced that for 4-6 years straight during the two World Wars. Abnormal daily life, extreme fear, locked-downs for years, watching houses and families in your neighborhood get destroyed by missiles and not knowing if you and loved ones are next. It’s really a form of evil like nothing else and something we cannot even begin to understand. . Unfortunately, humans continue to harm each other leading to so much suffering including broken families & orphans. In this month of Ramadan, join me in supporting @hcicanada ‘s child sponsorship program to support little souls who can use all of our help. Would love your contribution – big or small – in helping make a difference in these kids lives. Link in bio and stories. . Did you or anyone you know live through a war? My answer is below 👇🏽 .

That waking up on Eid mornings and instantly checking our mehndi (henna) to check the color – Papa's crisp white shalwar kameez as he got back from Eid prayers; the smell of his perfume and that smile on his face as we hugged each other ‘Eid Mubaraks’ – Opening the gifts mama had set out for us excitedly – trying to sneak into the trolley full of "khanay" (foods) laid out for guests. the Eid parties at the PAF bases and the visits from papa, mama’s friends – And without fail every Eid, us complaining about how boring everything was at some point! Almost funny now because I would give a lot just to re-live any bit of those moments! Sigh. .⠀ Instead it's us where our parents were then, our places taken over by our kids – aah, this cycle of life… ⠀ .⠀ While this Eid was different than the usual, here are a few of our usual Eid rituals: 'Halwa Puri' nashta .. Eid prayers at the mosque .. endless videocalls .. Bilal complaining about wearing his kurta, me trying to convince him to keep it on for family photos (ha) .. Eidi from Bilal .. celebrating with friends with an Eid potluck.. and much more… .⠀ Somewhere between aching for the "bachpans ki eids" & trying to recreate the magic for our little ones, we discover "our own Eid”. It must have it's own magic too because Anya tells me a million times "I LOVE EID…"⠀ . What are some of your Eid rituals? Thank you for asking me to share @lifeoutofcanvas 😘😘.

Whenever a girl moves abroad, every desi relative and friend thinks “Es k tow mazay ”. There are a few perks and loads of challenges and struggles in the life of an expat. . Living away from family and your personal support system is not easy. . Going to settle down in a new place where you hardly know anyone is not easy. . Doing everything by yourself is not easy. . Dealing with language barrier and cultural shock is challenging. . Expats are not living their best life. There’s no one who’s life is perfect. Stop being envious by seeing the pictures of your cousins and friends living abroad. You have no idea, what they’re struggling with in their personal life. . Please stop assuming and stop judging. . Social media is deceiving. Everyone is fighting a battle, you know nothing about so please be kind. Live and let live. . Whenever you see a happy picture of anyone please make a little prayer for them. . . Are you an expat ? Do you find this post relatable? . Tag your expat friend. .

I only brought a handful of desi clothes with from Pakistan when we moved last year becauae 'kahan pehnnay hein?' and 'baad mein aa jayein ge'. And that would probably have been okay also if I'd stuck to wearing desi clothes when visiting someone and on special occassions only (that's what I did in Jeddah). But over the last few months, I've developed this love for wearing the easy breezy lawn shalwar kameez at home everyday..as my regular daily wear. The problem is, I only brought 3-4 of those everyday wear type desi clothes with me and they're begging me to leave them alone now 🙈 I'd virtually helped my mother-in-law pack all my desi clothes from the last few years that I'd left in Pakistan. Was so looking forward to it because all the old clothes feel new and exciting when you see them after long. Plus there's no match to the softness of of old lawn ki kameez 👌🏻 But thanks to Mr. Corona, that's not happening anytime soon now. . I was also all for using one of the barely used old outfits for Eid but my parents, being parents, had still bought a kurta to be sent over and Mr. Corona couldn't stop them. Despite my attempts of telling them that the parcel may just get lost in current times, they still couriered it. So I will now pair it with trousers, scarf and shoes I already have before I walk to our living room for Zoom calls back home because aur kya karna hae? . .

Eid Has Finally Come to An End. . Our mini Party Setup at Home for Palwasha for Fasting through Out Ramadan MashAllah. We were proud of her and this Achievement has to be celebrated anyway. I couldn’t call her friends or any of our friends and families but we did this tiny setup for them. . Let me know what do you think ? . When our parents used to say k Sab kuch bachon kay liye krtay hain, tab samaj nahi aya but ub ata hai. Tabrez is still too young to understand but Palwasha , she knows what is EID and how it should be celebrated, like she asked me about Henna , Sweet dish for Eid day , Food and What to wear etc? . . . I know as an adult it was tough to understand the situation but bachon k liye sab bhoola diya and did our best to make them happy , celebrated Our Festive as our parents used to do with us. . . Humari Bachpan ki Eid is our Memory which we always Cherish. And we had to make it Memorable for Our Kids too. . And being an Expat , Lockdown Situation , no Grandparents and families around but we still did it & made it colorful for them because OUR KIDS deserve better Always. . . Tell me how was your eid and what did you enjoyed the most ?

What are your Ramadan or Eid traditions? While growing up, we had simple traditions such as going to our inner city mosque under the El Train bridge every weekend to take part in community Iftars. My friends and I would take advantage of these gatherings and exchange latest updates in our seemingly happening lives. Children would run around the mosque, playing tag; large weight bearing pillars with chipping paint being a safe base. Women would wear their best clothes topped off with gold jewelry. The night concluded with Taraveeh prayers with sounds of the rattling El train going overhead. Each family would sleepily depart after eight rakats or braving all twenty. We woke up at sehri to Najam Shiraz's Hamd blasting on GEO TV with the smell of parathas frying on a skillet and the previous nights salan heating up, ready to warm our bellies for the day ahead. The fast was later broken with traditional iftar foods prepared by my mom. Fruit chaat is and always will be my favorite Ramadan food. With no concept of online shopping and no one to parcel us clothes, we always stocked up for the coming year or years during periodic trips to Pakistan or hoped someone visiting/returning would bring something nice. While usually out of fashion, those clothes were very precious to us as they spoke of tradition, culture and a distinct smell of moth balls confirming the connection to Pakistan. . . Eid was with the same people at the same mosque but with a little more pomp and circumstance; homemade decor put up by the teens, mosque nicely cleaned up and looking its best. Eid prayers were always followed by glazed donuts from Dunkin Donuts. After this we either went house hopping, visiting family and friends or hosting at our home. My own family is slowly working on making our memorable traditions. One new tradition we started this year and hope to carry onward is coordinating our Eid clothes. . . Maya and I are wearing matching block print gharara and shirts by @chicophicial and ordered lathrough @ethniccouture2012 last summer who also stitches all our clothes for quick delivery to the US. . . Thanks @lifeoutofcanvas for initiating this writing prompt.

⁣Heartiest Eid greetings to you and your family. May this eid bring you health, happiness and all good things in life. Hope you had a good one! ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ Its been a struggle for me to take family photos on important occasions. But this time around, thanks to my live session with @nataliyakhanphotography (available to watch on my IGTV: Pro Tips for family Eid photos) we were able to pull it off well with zero stress, mood-kharabz or glitches. ⠀ ⠀ Since I had planned thoroughly, we actually enjoyed the process and had a good time clicking and getting done with it in minutes. ⠀ ⠀ Our Eid was mostly spent video conferencing with family & friends. Today after 3 months (or so), we finally met one of our friends in the parking lot outside their apartment. Felt great. #socialdistantlife⠀ ⠀ Thankyou @krescent.krafts for sending me the cute Eid banner and star fairy lights to make our Eid extra special. Do check out their page for great party supplies at reasonable prices delivered within North America. ⠀ ⠀ Did you see the tips shared on the live video? Were you able to take good family photos this Eid? What are your biggest challenges? I wish IG let you guys share your family photos in comments as I would've loved to see. ⠀ ⠀ #EidMubarak

Eid Mubarak everybody!! ❤ This past week has been pretty tough on all of us and I know most of us were feeling reluctant to celebrate Eid since so many people out there are mourning. But honestly, I feel that picking ourselves up, celebrating every little happiness and putting a smile on our faces can only help with this stress. It makes you forget about all the wreckage around us. I was feeling extremely upset but then I decided to dress up and take pictures because why not. It actually felt great dressing up in these pretty clothes and I just realized this looks more like 14th August than Eid 😂 I hope you guys have a great Eid, I hope that you and loved ones stay safe together and I hope that we celebrate Eid next year with more happiness and peace and less anxiety and tears. P.s. Swipe right to see the reality of taking that perfect insta worthy picture on a tripod stand. . . . #eidulfitr #eidmubarak #mandatoryeidpicture #green #peace #calm #love #bestlife #goodtimes #eidinpandemic #virtualhugs #family #smiles #happiness #celebration #desiclothes #dressup #makeup #pakistaniblogger #karachiblogger #lifestyleblogging #pakistaniculture #couplesofinstagram #meandmine #myboy #husband #myunicornlife #memories
