As a child, we used to count how many rozay (fasts) were left, how many days were left until Eid, and how much Eidi we would get. But as we grow up, life hits differently—especially in our 20s, with career pressure and the uncertainty of the future. Now, it feels like Ramadan passes by too quickly.
We even wish for one more roza, hoping the 30 rozay complete perfectly, or that Eid arrives a day late. Because for us now, these 30 days of fasting are our true Eid.
The thrill of Eid itself isn't as strong anymore; the happiness from observing the rozay far outweighs it.
We literally shift from "Eid kab hogi?" to "Eid kitni jaldi ho gayi?"—and I’m left there, slightly shocked, wondering how it all passed so quickly. Growing up changes everything. ❤️🩹
