Holiday Joys
The mood is joyous. A sight of giraffes at the zoo, children on the merry-go-round, a child astride his father's shoulder --- these are emblematic of happiness on Eid day. And then there are the toy trains and the make-believe aeroplanes which give a special quality to the day. Add to that the expectant look in the little boy as his heart craves a toy he may or may not be able to afford. Yet hope burns bright in his eyes.
If life is a celebration, nowhere is it more manifest than in the sheer charm of going home for Eid. Who cares if the train has no room? Who cares if the ride on the roof is fraught with risks? The journey is all.
