EID MUBARAK TO all my Muslim friends. Tomorrow is Korbani Eid (Eid of Sacrifice). This is the cow that our neighbor-friend bought for his Eid Sacrifice. This morning on our walk we saw many cows being led down Mirpur Avenue (a main street in Dhaka), either for sale, or already sold and being delivered. The main topic of conversation on the streets these days is, “How much did you pay for that cow, or how much do you want for it. The same goes for goats. Across from us is a playing field, around which at least 100-200 goats were bedded down for the night, last night. I’m quite sure by tonight we will have 12 cows and 5-6 goats in the parking area beneath our apartments. They are tied up like this cow out by the playing field on the sidewalk during the day. After morning prayers, then the sacrifices will begin.
