The last journey.
One of two major Muslim festivals, Eid-Ul-Adha(Festival of Sacrifice) is celebrated from the time of Prophet Abraham when he was initially asked to sacrifice his beloved son Ismael in the name and path of God. Later, God revised it to sacrificing a four legged cattle. The sacrifice of the cattle is a symbolic one, depicting the sacrfice the animal instincts in humans. And the meat of the cattle is distributed in 3 equal parts-one for the host, one for the relatives and one for the underprivileged ones.
The cattle chosen for the sacrifice is bought with a lot of care and attention, since it is a direct offering for the Lord. The cattle, in return live the best death one could wish for.

My neighbours
People and scenes from my neighbourhood- mosly Hillview and some nearby areas.
The area wasn't very populated till the last few years, so a few slums and small houses are still intact.
More and more are being replaced with taller and bigger structures though.
