Main Muta’assir Hain… and You’d be Impressed Too!
Firstly, Imamat Day Khushiali Mubarak! And what an amazing experience of this Ismaili ‘high holiday’ I had here today in Karachi! I woke up early / late this morning (you know, the usual eyes open around 6 a.m. then falling back asleep in about an hour or so, then waking up again around 9… this jet lag, seriously!) and ate a very Karachi-special kind of breakfast at the main AKU cafeteria: halva-puri… except they were out of halva (which is like a very sweet, buttery, mushy… I can’t even explain it), so I had puri with a very delicious chickpea curry thing… greasy, but delicious. Apparently this is for breakfast every weekend (both days!), so I’ll either try to get myself out of bed a bit earlier, in time to try the halva tomorrow, or I guess I’ll have to wait for another weekend…
