I used to close my eyes in the car....
Start the countdown in Dada's lap...
Just to open my eyes when we reach Badomalih on 2nd June....The moment I used to step out of the car, my friends would gather around , and we would run to the "mela" - swings, street food, loads of toys and no worries.
Days filled with laughter , nights in dargah reciting manqabat. Even today 2 June is one of the most awaited events in my calender. I don't rush to the ferris wheel anymore but I see my kids reliving my childhood. I on the otherhand now enjoy feeding hundreds of guests and managing the whole event with Abu.
Unfortunately I couldnt make it this year as we are busy with the elections in Skardu, but only I know how much my heart is wrenching to be in Badomalih on 2nd June.
On this day every year, people all around the globe gather in Badomalih - our ancestors home to pay homeage to Syed Ahmed Shah Ghous my great great .....great Grandfather ... who has a rich history of more than 300 hundred years of serving people in need. We keep his traditions and pledge each year to be torch bearer of his mission and keep the flag of our Dargah High - Inshallah
