I personally miss "Arabi Halim" from Iqbal Hotel (dewan
bazar)...Small things like 'Pyazu" brings back so much memory from
back home.....We had a skinny pyazu vendor named "Bacchu-ya" in our para, and he was the best...till this days Pyazu reminds me of him...I remember hitting a cricket ball right into his frying pan(non intentional), he was mad as hell and complained to everyone that was related to me :)
...There was "Kabijjar Dowanor Cha" I miss it whenevr I drink tea....There was "Mathhor Biryany" (actually it was chonabut) and "dail-pury" from Chandan Pura area which was just the best I ever had...
I also remeber a "shon-papri wala", to whom we called "Zeda", used to sell us shon-papri in credit if we didnt have the money...I am sure I payed all of Zeda's bills in full, if not I hope Zeda will forigive me as I was very young...:)
It goes without saying that the Eid was by far the best occassion in my life and the joy of having new clothes, shoes and just roaming around with friends was just fantastic...Now they are all far away in time and just a sweet memory. Anyways, Eid Mubarak to all fo you in advance...Thanks,
Miro
