of eid and buchters

i m not a big fans of eid. any eid. there are two eids only but whatever. both of 'em.

eid-ul-azha? yeah? thats what we call baree eid, right? okay - so, goats, cows, camels (poor animals esp. camels) get slaughtered. kasayee ki toh def. eid hoti haina. its the season for 'em. animals slaughtered left and right in the name of Allah. i sleep late till the afternoon so i ve no idea who got slaughtered and when.

let me tell you 'bout the one and only time i ever saw an animal get slaughtered.

i saw a camel getting sluaghtered once when i was small. this one eid i happened to be in gujrawala. at night, the speakers of the mosque near by blaring with something related to the camel sluaghering. so we (my big brother and i) planned to go there in the afternoon. we went :S i saw a huuugeee camel there. damn! it takes alot of courage, i tell you. to stand there and see a helpless animal tied up in ropes getting murdered. poora tamasha laga howa tha :s the buchters. ugly buchters. attacking the camel from all different sides. whenever they would strike him with a knife he would move himself so recklessly that the whole crowd stirred with 'ooohs and aaahs'. so finally, the poor animal was able to break through one of those ropes. and people thought it was coming right at 'em. they tried getting out of that place through the narrow streets. my elder brother was pushed by one of those people running for their lives (?). and suddenly his foot got stuck in one of those filthy nallee's [pause] *laugh*. everyone running, the buchters trying to tie up the camel again. and me standing right there, laughing my ass off at what happened to my brother. HAHAHAH. i never stayed long enough to see the whole killing (the animal was half dead anyways, there was no point of staying there) but what i saw was enough.

so - did you eat lots of tattay khappooray, juicy tikkas, and camel meat?
