O gaya Bakra...!

Allah -ho- Akbar .... and the neck is sliced... i managed to look till bhai held the knife in just the right position... and again when life was going out of the prettiest one and he jerked a few times... if this qurbani weren't purely for the Religious purpose i would really have considered it barbaric... i can understand how non Muslims feel about this...its a sight not for the weaker hearts... what can be more traumatizing for the poor goats then to watch one of their own being but right in front of them... despite my pleas the other two witnessed the first one going down and then the second one... the third, i think was of the strongest heart to not have died of a heart failure on seeing the others go down like that... and the first one the bravest, for he was the notorious one and banged en kicked around these previous two nights..not to mention that he dragged me behind him out of the quarters in the morning and then at night again instead of the other way around... but this morning he just stood there en trembled but didn't try to run away... * sigh* ... and so they are gone.. another year another sacrifice... same dua ... 'may Allah accept it and bless us all...Ameen' ...

...its a tough job i tell you... i always considered knife one of the cruelest of weapons... one can actually feel the intensity with which the sharp razor penetrates the others body ...a slow motion picture plays in my mind every time i say this (those with special affects u know i.e. mist, the shinny blade, the exact sound affects ;))... and i thought client servicing was the worst hob in the world... a butcher tops my ranking from today onwards ... and here i was thinking that i should do one qurbani this time... but i am glad i found out that a woman cant do that ...

....and now that the poor souls have departed and now lay in the kitchen, beautifully cut en sliced... the coming hours are going to be nothing but YUMMILICIOUS :D.... its BBQ time my friends ...yayyyy! .... i surprise myself at how cruel i am... only a few hours ago i was feeling absolutely sorry for the poor things ..i still do but the thought of all that food awaiting en the good company... life has to go on ..ain't it ;)....

... and all that blood... i know the color is just marvelous and one can actually kinda enjoy the blood coming out...if only the animal would disappear or at least wouldn't make those heart wrenching noises and those attempts to free it self... ab koi btai us ko...kae bhai ab kiya faida bhagnae ka ...katee hoe gardan ka kiya achar dalae ga ... coming back to the blood ... its always a different red... some times the beautiful cherry red... at the other times a deep musky maroon... that gives the warmest of feelings...
