Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri!

Eid ul-Fitr or Hari Raya Aidilfitri as is popularly known in this country that marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting, fell on 10th September this year. A family tradition that we have kept for many years now is to invite friends and relatives to the house for a small celebration. It is heartwarming to know that many of them still make time for me and my family.
