Pray for us
So during this lockdown Eid I want to wish you all a blessed Eid-Al-Fitr
Alhamdulillah, I'm sure you are well
I pray you are all well
Today we prayed Eid Salah at home
So I shared that with you
And the Khutbah we heard live online. We had a virtual Eid Khutbah this year
So I'm going to share that with you now
So today we prayed Eid Salah at home
My husband led us in prayer
The weather isn't that great today
It's gloomy weather
And there's a lot of pollen outside in the wind
So we're thinking of going out for a drive. Before that I want to show you my Eid menu
My menu was quite simple
First I'm showing you here my pulao. I've already posted my pulao recipe on this channel
This is Bangladeshi lachcha shemai
It's basically a shemai
This is korma
Chicken korma
It was really yummy. I'll share this recipe with you later on
This is hard chicken curry
With skin
This tastes very nice, and as if it's from Bangladesh
Then I made some kebabs
It's shami kebab. I made it with chicken
And for the first time I made doi in a clay pot
It set nicely
And this is the first time I made kalo jam (gulab jamun)
I followed a recipe for it
I'll try and share all these recipes with you in the future
So this was my Eid menu
My daughters wanted it to feel more like Eid so they put on some henna
So I'm sharing with you their henna designs
My 2 daughters put it on one of their hands each
They tried to keep it on for most of the night
Then we got ready
Wearing our Eid clothes
I actually bought these a long time ago
We didn't wear them yet so we decided to wear them during our lockdown Eid
So now we're getting ready to go out
This is my husband's panjabi. A relative gave it to him as a gift
And these are my 2 daughters' outfits
I bought my elder daughter's dress from Zara
The top part was a bit see-through
So she wore a full-sleeve blouse (crop top) underneath
So that it's not see-through
I usually buy these nice dresses
It was a one-piece and she wore it with leggings and a scarf
When I see these dresses and I like them
I get them and they mix-and-match and wear them
And I bought my younger daughter's dress from a bhabi here a while back
So now we're going out. Our plan is to not go inside anyone's house
We'll just say from outside their house
And say Eid Mubarak
It's pretty much a virtual Eid. Since we're gonna say Eid Mubarak from afar
So we'll go out and on the way if we find any houses to go to we'll try going
If they're available, we'll drop by to say Eid Mubarak
This Eid was quite sad
Many people lost many family members during Ramadan
I sympathize with them and send them condolences. Since their Eid probably will be quite hard
We're still blessed Alhamdulillah to be able to do Eid the best way we can
So first we dropped by a bhabi's house
So let's see how we said Eid Mubarak to them
I'll share that with you now
So we'll go in front of their house. We called them and they'll come outside
Far far! Stay there ahaha
-Are you taking my video? -No!
No no, we're just taking the bottom portion
We've come in front of their house
Bhabi don't you dare (give Eidi to my kids hah)
No way!
Bhabi far away, far away, stay at a distance
Sweetie come here
You can eat ice cream with this money!
Eidi, Eidi, Eidi!
We're only going by to houses to say Eid Mubarak
We're just parking here, calling people, and telling them Eid Mubarak from afar
Aunty gave us $10 Eidi each
Thank you aunty
So now we're going back to our car
So we're planning to go to another house
We'll see who's home on the way
Then we'll celebrate Eid this way
As you saw
You saw how we've planned to celebrate Eid this year
Say hi/hello and Eid Mubarak from afar
So before going to another house we planned to go to a park nearby
The river is very close to this park
We wanted to go to the river from close
If it's suitable
If there aren't many people then we'll try and stop by
So now we're going to the park
So we came to the park and saw from our car it was quite busy
Lots of people and lots of pollen
So we didn't get out of the car here
So now we're going to another house
My husband will first call to see if they're home
Then we'll go to their house
You can stay at your door no problem
We'll park our car near your house door
-No no don't worry I'll come out and greet you
Ok, ok Allah Hafiz
-Allah Hafiz
So we've arrive at the next house's parking lot
So take a look to see how we're celebrating Eid here
Take a look
Eid Mubarak!
-Everybody's wearing masks
-Even with so much space they didn't allow people
-One group got way too big
Then they cleaned everything...
-In Toronto, the Bengalis... -Why are you out of breath?
-Oh no I was doing work -Ohhh
-Then I ran here
-So 5 people, 5 families
-Their kids were playing
-They fined 5 mothers from those families
-Oh they were all playing together?
-Yeah together -Where?
-Toronto -In the park?!
-Behind their home there was a park where they were playing. 5 families were fined
-A park behind their house? Or in the backyard?
-In the backyard -In the backyard right
-And then
-In one home there were 3 families. They fined each of the 3 families $10,000
-Good that's really good
-Another family had 5 families over
-$100,000 fine -*gasp*
-That's exactly how it should be -Wow
-They did the right thing fining them. Bengalis never listen
-Really Bengalis don't listen -They don't listen at all
-Yeah and those are just Bengalis. There's even more among other groups of peoples
-Just now we saw so many people at Byrne Park -People even tried coming over to our house
-Hahahaha -I tried calling the BC people right away, since people came over to my house
-Even though they were my neighbours, they always used to come over -Right right, your neighbours yes
-They didn't come over during COVID-19
-Then I checked everything and
-Now it's 6 people maximum in a gathering. I have 6 people in my home already!
-Yeah exactly!
-Maximum 6 people -You guys yourselves are 6 people
-Now what about people who have 7 family members? Hahaha -Oh come on now ahaha
-Yeah it's a huge amount of money
-Yeah it's really a lot of money
-No we just wanted to come by and say Eid Mubarak :) -No I'm really glad you did! You guys are brave
-Oh you didn't have to (bring us food) -No I packed it up quickly for you all
-Thank you -Thank you
-I opened the trunk
-They're enjoying this so much
-They're enjoying this so much because it's a once in a lifetime thing -That's really good
-The fact that they are enjoying with you guys
-They say it's a once in a lifetime experience so they're enjoying a lot -You guys are very lucky to have daughters like them
-Alhamdulillah
-The fact that your 2 daughters love spending time with you. You have good luck -Alhamdulillah. Please pray for us Bhai
-Today-- -Look at the girls of today, they don't like spending time with their parents
-Eid Mubarak! Pray for us. Allah Hafiz
-Eid Mubarak haha! :) -Allah Hafiz!
-This is... -It's a different type of Eid Mubarak
-Yes very different. Alhamdulillah. Allah Hafiz!
So I'm showing you how we did our Eid while maintaining social distancing
We're maintaining government protocols while still celebrating Eid
That's why this Eid wasn't too bad. We're enjoying our time. Let's go to the next house
-You had such a nice garden here with so many plants right?
-There are some plants in the front
-You had soooooo many plants here before
-If Allah (Swt) keeps us alive, we can all meet close again
-The fact that we're seeing each other a little bit now, this is enough for us
So there's a very nice garden at the front of this house
Let's go, I want to share that with you all
This bhabi's garden has both vegetables and flowers
She organized it very nicely
So take a look, there are so many roses
Very fragrant roses
And she started some squash plants too
She planted them in pots
And on this side there are a few flowers
There are quite a few flowers here
They're still yet to blossom fully
And here are the roses
These roses are so fragrant and so beautiful
And they're very big, the colours are beautiful
-Coriander? Yes yes bhabi, I'll take some
-My son always says "move mommy, move!"
Hahahahaha
So here she planted some coriander
So she picked some coriander to give to me
But how she'd give me the coriander while maintaining social distancing we were trying to figure that out
So we thought she'd leave it somewhere and we'll take it from there
So we'll take it that way
This house is on the main road so there's a lot of noise from traffic
-How should I take this? Maybe a piece of paper or something would've been good
-No problem, no problem
-Bhabi has given me some coriander here
-I'm going to cook daal with this tomorrow In Shaa Allah
This is their neighbour's frontyard
I really liked the palm trees there
So I took a shot of it
So now we're gonna go back. We're thinking of going to a couple more houses
-Ok we're going to go from upstairs -Yeah no problem! We can say bye while you're all upstairs
-His (her son's) recitation is very nice
-Since he learned from here
-Yeah. This Ramadan was really nice at everyone's house!
-Yes for everyone! I was praying Qur'an and... -I honestly hope this lasts for a while longer, like years
-We could have so much fun at home
-I've realized how much people need other people right?
-Yeah and for families to bond right?
-I think people have no realized how much bonding is required
So we thought we'd hit up a few more houses but it was getting late in the day
And there's so much pollen outside that we thought it'd be best to return home (allergies)
It was Asr Salah time too
So we're almost at the end of the video
So before I say goodbye
I want to say Eid Mubarak once again
