For 19 years, since i was born, i did Eid-ul-Fitr in Makkah. We would charter a bus, all the family friends, and go to Makkah to perform Umrah, do Eid there and then goto Madina. thats one of the major advantages of living in khajoor land.. just pack your bags and goto Makkah, just like that. I didnt realise that until i moved to Karachi. you have no idea how i miss it. the feeling, the absolute peace of mind that the sight of Ka'ba brings. its like words can define alot of things.. but i dont think words can do justice with what one feels when one is at the Masjid-ul-Haram.

The whole trip used to be an adventure in its self. even though we did it every year, sometimes twice a year.. it was always somehow different. and it was more fun year after year. i just miss those days :(
