Assalamoalikum and Welcome back to Orange Shots
Today is 13th Of May 2021
We did try to sight the moon yesterday ..
As per our calculations the moon phase was ZERO, it was ..
not sight-able so we couldn't see that.
Todays is 30th Roza ..
and tomorrow is definitely EID day.
So tomorrow is our EID, that is on 14th of May..
We will sight the EID moon today and I will show you guys ..
that how does a moon sighting looks at Sea.
Come, come... Where is Loewen?
Have seat Chief (Cook) ..
Okay.. so guys today is Last month of ...
Last day of Ramadan
So what I usually do on Eid days is ..
I try to arrange the breakfast for all the officers in My Cabin.
At lunch time we make either Biryani or Pulao.
So what would you like to make tomorrow?
I just made Pulao today, So better Biryaani.
So we'll have chicken Biryaani tomorrow in the afternoon,
Alongwith Papad... and ... Pakoras.
I like Green Chilli Pakora, Potato Pakora ..
(For Breakfast) we'll make Vermicilli
Also put some Dates and dryfruits in it..
Then we'll make Kheer.
Put some Peanuts, Cashewnuts, Almonds ..
That'll be Kheer.
Can you make some Poori in the Morning.
Not with the Black Chana this time,
Instead make Choley with Potato.
And yes,, in the morning,,
You have those Mangoes with you or not anymore?
The Canned one sir?
Yes Sir we do .. Milk Shake?? ...
So we'll have some Mango Milk shake as well..
(In the evening) we'll make (Mutton) Haleem also ..
But we will make on extra dish ..
(as a backup, if Haleem goes wrong)
Captain.. It's been long time since we made Achaar Gosht..
Okay then we'll make Achaar Gosht..
But make sure not to under cook it Chief (Cook)..
So we'll have Achaar Gosht ... With Haleem..
Naan,, and Garlic, Ginger, Green Chillies .. and all those things
And for the SWEET ..
Let's Make Jalebi.. Alright ..
So That is the Menu for ... Tomorrow...
Thank you boys ...
Energy is a bit low.. as the evening approaches...
Last 3-4 days i was dead busy..
There were so many things to do .. So many things ..
Two of us were Fasting on this Ship, Me and 3rd officer ..
We have a Muslim Filipino AB as well ..
But he was not fasting, Keeping a fast and working on deck..
is just too too difficult..
I try to keep the atmosphere a little traditional on EID
I try to get Biryaani or Pulao cooked for the Lunch.
Just like at our Homes.
And just to keep things more traditional ..
I have requested Chief cook to make Haleem and ...
Mutton Karahi for the Dinner
With Naan & Jalebi for the Sweet ..
Just to bring the "feel" as close to home as possible..
Rest we can't do much on the Eid Day..
There are only a few people on the ship..
We J meet up on the Eid, Have Breakfast, Lunch and ..
Dinner together.. Rest of the day... Just WORK.....
So let me show you, how do we Spend EID.. on SHIP...
Please.. Please.. Come... Mr. Chief Engineer ..
(Chief Engineer) .. Eid Mubarak Brother
Please ... Please ..
Come Dear Seteee....
2nd Off: Eid Mubarak sir... ME: Khair Mubarak
This was the First Phase of our Eid Day..I called everyone..
In My Cabin .. We all had Breakfast together..
And i think they liked it... (Ship's Officers)..
This is the best we can do on Ships..
Or we can have a small party and sing some songs..(Karaoke)
That we'll do .. tomorrow evening.
After having Breakfast everyone has gone back to their Jobs..
Chief officer and Chief engineer.. all back to work...
2nd engineer, 3rd Engineer... Everybody..
We took some time out for a nice Sitting..
To have some chit chat
Aim was to have some good time and Traditional food together
I think everyone liked it.
Me: You can really Enjoy Eidat Home ONLY....
C/Engr: Yeah! he we just complete this kind'a Formality only
C/Engr: That holds true for every Festival.. Me: Exactly..
Me: Look at Settee (2/Engr).. he didn't even Wait!!
C/Engr: Yessss...
C/Engr: Look at him... 3rd Engineer ..
C/Engr: He is out on Breaking record to Eat Pakoras..
Elect Off: 3rd Engineer's Pile of Pakoras ..

C/Engr: He is on a mission to Eat Pakoras of Everyone...
So we have some Biryaani.

Me: I want to see how your face looks like (after eating chilli)
C/Off: You want to see me crying Captain..
Chief officer's Face will become FULL RED if he eats this..
First I sent EIDI (Eid Money) for my Kids ..
Had already sent for my Siblings
Then my wife became angry with me ..
She was asking for her EIDI (Eid money) too ..
I said "Are you a kid?"
C/Engr: No, but she is right ..
But then I sent yaar ... I had to...
I had to transfer from my account ..
Then I got happy replies... "Thankyou so much" ..
Fianlly she was happy ..
I told her... that you guya are celebrating Real Eid ..
We are just at work here ..
So this was our Eid Routine,,
If you ponder a little bit then it will be more than clear..
that the only time we have to live and enjoy the true..
Spirit of Eid is at meal hours or in the evenings ..
We can get the food of our choice cooked ..
we can have some pleasure time talking to each other..
Now a days the hot topic is of course the Pandemic situation..
Specially .. it's causing a havoc in India..
This situation in India is often discussed ..
Apart from that there is only ship's work ..
Just like Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah Said ..
Work Work and work ...
and that's our purpose of being on this ship..
So the best you can do is to take as much from these ..
little moments .. tiny moments ..
the moments when you're together ..
When you're gathering in smoking rooms ..
You can make memories of these moments ..
and leter cherish these small things..
we can try to spend these moments Joyfully ..
otherwise there is no place else to go from the Ship ..
We have to stay here, this is our home ..
and of course there's always a lot to do here (our home)
I hope that you'd have enjoyed today's Video ..
May be our routine has enticed you guys a bit too ..
There wasn't anything to entice but may be it has...
But in case you enjoyed this effort of ours ..
