10 zilhaaj of Islamic calendar
marks the day of Eid-ul –adha amongst the Muslim brothers and the much awaited
meat fantasy of meat parties 3 times all 3 days comes true to the meat lovers
aka Gosht-khor- islami –bhai bhen.( meat lover Islamic brother sisters)
The festival begins with the
search of the sacrificial animals in this part of the world. Karachi
is the biggest animal market of south asia ,
has huge variety of animals from donkey cow ( Gadha gai… with just ribs and the
skeleton seen over a sheath of hide ) to Bhoot gai ( black cow with menace
face) to Farishta gai ( Cute, innocent cow with white eye lashes) . The well
fed cows are available to filthy rich people whose house wives with no house
work can then brag to their Islamic sisters about the oblation they offered to
deity. A good animal is also chosen
according to Islamic myth as on judgment day Muslims need to cross a fly-over (
pul-surat) and if they would go on a healthy animal they can go quick – A logical question thus comes to my mind why
cant we sacrifice tiger – It will go very quick ????
Pious muslims without a doubt are
meat lovers, impatiently wait for these days so they can eat meat ravenously,
throw grandeur parties and lick the ass of their boss by sending a leg or two
of the goat coated in aluminum foil. For this reason they hit the animal on the
rear violently to check the meat on its ass if it’s perfect for barbecue but
poor animal keeps thinking of being sexually assaulted by some mullah human.
But the most miserable person on this
sacrificial festival is me due to my abhorrence with red meat specially the eid
meat that can’t be looked at due to the strange and pungent smell associated with
freshly cut poor animal. Often as a kid I used to get sick after watching red
show with all the meat in the porch but as soon as I came to know the power of strike
for your devoted cause. I protested vehemently without realizing it’s after
affects of getting just salad and curd in the bakra eid dawats to eat. Why the
hell people throw parties after bakra eid that contain just red meat and why
doesn’t their heart melt with the fear of God of leaving certain people ( yeah
its always just me )starved after inviting them at their home.
I guess these parties should be
labeled as the * sacrificial meat utilization parties* instead of just the
usual get together that at least have the courtesy to offer other things to eat
and does not make me look like a tortured seventeenth century vampire women
going all pale at the sight of red meat and lie to those who incessant that im
on a special diet.
Devolving various excuses for the most health conscious
types I cite my desire to remain on juices. For fighting for a noble cause
types I vehemently articulate the plight this barbaric occasion of bakra eid
does to poor animal inflicting on them excruciating pain that even before the
eyes of little kids and common man thus triggering extremism in our society and
making our heart turn to stone. This off
course does help me to use my much rusted grey cells as already the desire to
eat has been vanished .The stench of fresh meat grows fetid in my
mind with the scary screams of the dying animals.
All the year, damn it for a whole
long year I focus and perfect my excuse to avoid these stupid –time waste
*RMPs* ( red meat utilization parties) but
somehow gets emotionally black mailed and lands in there. Facing the sneering looks of people, asking
me while stuffing their mouths with meat as if they will never get to eat again
or if they are going to get all their protein today scheduled from their protein
diet … Oyee U turned Hindu ???? And i smile a wry smile,say i'm eating but that I do cucumber...yummy
isn’t it. But in my hearts of heart I retort
back to them.
Oyee u
turned into starved Somali !
