As there was no sighting of the moon, there is some animosity towards the Roohat Hilal Committee. But look at the bright side people, you all got one full day to be closer to God than most of us will ever be for the next 11 months. The best part is that you all get to eat one more ‘Eftaari’. I am a big fan of Eftaari and I consider it to be a blessing from the Almighty that we get to eat such delicious food in the month of ramadan, fattening or not fattening I don’t care much about it. Eftaari is such a beautiful time of the day. The streets in Karachi are empty. There is this Loud Silence all over the city. Sitting at the Dastarkhwaan everyone is anxious to see what might be coming from the kitchen on a tray. TV is on, Amir Liaqat is talking to numerous islamic clerics and scholars. Ami is busy preparing eftaari. I just cannot wait to taste the mouth watering samosas, pakoras, roll, chaat aur najanay kiya kiya.
So since this is the last Eftaari for a year, I think you should make the most of it. I think the following is a small list that I could think of the things that you could do for Eftaari today.
Goto Shehnai on the Dalmia road for Eftaari, because I have heard so many Taareefein about the eftari there. Its located close to the millenium mall and is run by the Hanif Rajput. Costs around 375 – exact figure not known.

At the Dastarkhwaan, tell all your family members how much you love them and how much this occasion means to you. You might take this ‘Eftaari’ for granted, but Mark My Words it is indeed a great blessing to be eating with your loved ones the food that you desire, the quantity that you desire . . not many in this city are fortunate enough

May Allah give peace to all of us.
