A Retrospective: The week that was – 19w34

This week was 0% productive in terms of writing because I dedicated 100% to office work; and some stuff at home that I have been procrastinating for months.

Eid Celebrations

People asked me how I spent my Eid. I had a long answer but I simply answered. It was nice. We had a great time. Eid is just about waiting. For Eid-ul-Fitr, the wait begins on the evening of the 29th of Ramzan, waiting for the moon sighting. Then we wait for announcement from other…
