On occasion of Eid al Fitre wishing all a prosperous and peaceful life. Eid Mubarak. This beautiful world is meant for all human beings so in this global village if there is no killing, no jealousy and no hatred then peace will prevail. As we have been divided in 1947, so even if I desire cannot go to Pakistan and enjoy different foods in Eid particularly chicken preparation. Even then through this message wishing all in the world to live peacefully and blissfully, particularly to the people of India and Pakistan. We are BHAIJAN.

On our little street here in Florida, we have families from Afghanistan, India, Jamaica, and of course the USA too. We all got together and wished our Muslim friends from Afghanistan) a most happy Eid. They surprised us with some Kabuli Pilao, most delicious. In this coming week we are taking them to a Palestinian restaurant. It is wonderful to see people sharing our universal humanity, which all religions ought to emphasize.
