Who’s working?

And so I am back at work, after a full week of vacation. Can’t get any better than that. But I was surprised to see empty streets this morning. Turns out people are still under Eid hangover. C’mon guys, don’t you get bored of sitting at home for so many days?

    ours would probably be one of the few places all around where we take so much time off from work… it’s more like taking time out to work than the other way around!

    Streets are deserted because shops there are closed, and these are the shops which where openened both on monday as well as on tuesday.

    I think offices are having decent attendances today.
