I simply wish that next Eid:
1. I can easily find a nice outfit. I even dream that next Eid I wear my own design (even if it was only a digital design stored in my pc)!
2. I cook sweets and pass some to neighbors. I even dream of baking traditional Syrian ma3mool (given my current humble experience in making sweets, yes this is actually a dream)
3. I attend a play in the theatre or some creative show (may be produced by Zain). I even dream I participate in some show (may be in writing or directing. I went a bit far. Well, at least you don’t want to see me acting)!
4. I celebrate it with all beloved ones around. I even dream of having a gathering with everyone present. This Eid is missing two of my friends parents (a father of one friend and a mother of another). I know it is inevitable, when it is time to leave, no clock can miss a tick. Only nice memories will keep swinging in the air and when a cool breeze passes by, I will close my eyes, see their faces in my head, tell them how much I love them in my heart, and smile.
5. I listen to news with no news about natural catastrophes (such as the current Pakistan floods) or man-planned disasters due to racial or ideological fanaticisms. I even dream of a high “happy planet index”.
Wish you a very Happy Eid!
