Eid Mubarak!! This is a day of joy, but alas there is nothing to be joyous about. There are 20 million effected by floods in Pakistan. No Eid for them. No new Clothes. No new jewelery. No Eidi. No Mehndi. The horror right? No. This is worse, they have nothing to eat. No shelter. No clothes. No family. And the worst of all, no hope. While we sit here and pig out on our moms yummy Sawaiyan(vermicelli), Dahi Baray, Chaat and what not…they are fighting death. People our ages, people younger than us. Can you not hear their cries? Can you not see that they need you? Are you really that blind? You are putting religious differences before humanity? You are accusing the whole nation for what some lunatics did? You are punishing that 5 year old by letting him starve just because some crazy-headed, I can’t even call them humans hence, animals did? Are we really that backward in our thoughts? For the love of humanity, help those people out. I didn’t make new clothes this time for Eid because I wanted to spend that money on someone in need. I am not trying to sound noble, because I am not, but I can say that if you think getting that new Coach purse or that new PS3 game is better than providing a meal to someone then yes I do think that my thoughts are better than yours. So it’s my humble request, please donate. You might be able to put food on someones plate, their definition of Eid. There are so many organizations doing beyond amazing work, trust them for once and be a little largesse.
