Eid Mubarak

So Eid has been declared in Pakistan at last. It's that time of the year again, so I would like to introduce you to the Essential Eid Survival Guide for the Antisocial™:

1. Personal portable music player with a lot of music for the long, long car rides where everyone has to 'share' the stereo and nobody wins.

2. A couple of bags of Doritos/Sour Cream and Onion flavored potato chips for munching on in the long rides. That way, when you decline food you dislike, you can (honestly) claim that you're quite full and make straight for the drinks.

3. Newly acquired cell phone credit card for whiling away time stuck silently staring at 'hum-umar' acquaintances.

4. A WAP enabled Cell phone. What could be better than meaningless chatter on MSN for killing some time when the old folks get started on 'the good old days'?

5. Plenty of snacks and drinks in case someone drops in unexpectedly to your place.


6. Manually tune the Cartoon Network on the TV to keep loud preschool visitors entertained with minimum effort.

Eid Mubarak, everyone.
