Eid ul Azha 2008: The First 'Baa' of the Bakra!

Eid ul Azha is about to grace us with its presence. The moon has been sighted and the day has been specified. The preparations for it would have also started quite some time ago. There was a continuous buzz everywhere that when would the eid holidays be. Amidst all this hustle and bustle i had completely forgotten that this eid involves slaughtering of 'bakras' (among other four legged creatures). But last night when i was coming home i heard a loud 'Baa' when we entered through the gates of Askari 3. That sound suddenly rung a bell that this eid is all about bakras. That was the very first 'Baa' that i heard around Eid ul Azha this year. I am sure i will be hearing more but i guess i will keep on remembering this first one for quite some time. :-)
