Greetings, wonderful individuals. The sun rose over Chennai, lighting up the busy city with golden light. My son and I were in a cozy room at Tambaram Air Force Station in Chennai, waiting for the Eid celebrations. Since my punctual husband had already departed for work, it was just the two of us to get ready for the day. My always-on-time husband had already gone to work, so we had time to do our morning prep.

I got up early to take care of my baby with the caring care that only a mother could give. In the early morning light, we passed the time while waiting for my husband to come home, which would mark the beginning of our exciting day.

Enjoying with my baby

As the morning turned into afternoon, I had a familiar feeling of sadness. I missed being with my family and seeing familiar faces. Even though I was far away, the thought of enjoying Eid with my husband and son made me feel better. The unbearable heat of Chennai kept us inside, so we didn't go anywhere until the cool evening. Feeling better, my husband and I and my baby went exploring together. We went shopping, which became the highlight of our Chand Raat.

We explored the halls of busy markets and modern superstores to find necessities and treats. My son's laughter could be heard in the toy area as I gave him toys that made him happy, which made my heart swell with joy.

Then we came back to our room and rested for a while freshened up and again got ready and headed out for shopping near pantaloons and trends.

Among all the noise and activity, we found Pantaloons, a store that beckoned us with affordable apparel. Feeling the sweltering heat, I chose light kurtis instead of my Eid finery to be more comfortable in the summer heat.

The Trend store was filled with many wonderful things that made us feel like we were all feeling the same way: happy and excited. With bags full of gifts for my family and friends.

we went to Village Milk Shop to get out of the heat and enjoy a cool drink in the middle of a busy day.
Returning to our haven, I took solace in the quiet moments, cherishing the bonds that held us together amidst the distance.

As evening descended, I embraced the spirit of Eid, preparing a simple yet hearty biryani, a shortcut to tradition amidst our transient abode.

In the quiet times of Chand Raat, I thought about the day's trip, which was like a fabric made of love, hunger, and the spirit of joy that never ends. Even though we're far from home, the rituals that bind us together stay in our hearts, like a lighthouse in the dark.

I would like to invite my friends @triple-a, @comfortpeter,@radjasalman and @jovita30 to participate in this contest.


Thank You So Much Everyone
