It was a much needed meetup, for every single person who was present there.
We'll always have these small chats on the chain, some voice meetings on Discord, but a true meetup face to face is essential. We're humans after all, all this advanced and new communication gadgets/platforms and thingamajigs may keep on improving the way we communicate, but spending some proper time together, true companionship, will never not be important.
I say such social gatherings every now and then are vital, and that is why we should never miss a chance to meetup with the people we care about.
Spoke my mind bro! It was such an enjoyable get together that all the way back my wife and I were just talking about it, and how quickly good times fly away! We're really looking forward to the iftar we planned yesterday.
I wish travelling between cities was much easier so that the rest of us could also join us more often whenever we have these meetups.
I think it'll be successful, hopefully the timing is right for everyone, then we can all surely attend.
That's the only issue. We know what kind of a city Dhaka is, it's surely not "travel friendly". The traffic, the cost, it's all too outrageous. But I think we can pull off a good Sylhet tour after Eid, anything outside of Dhaka is always a positive for me lol.
Yeah, when it comes to Iftar we need to take into account a lot of issues...traffic going to be insane just before iftar, that's a given. Then there's Tarabi prayers and everyone will have shopping plans. But I really hope we do pull this one off.
As for the tour after Eid, that might prove a bit difficult for us as I have just used up a pretty big chunk of my off days from my ward, and will be using most of the eid holidays divided between my and my in-laws house. And neither of us have been home in nearly 4 months, my wife even more. So I intend to plan the way we can spend ample time at her parents' place this coming vacation.
Hopefully everything falls into place and goes as planned.
I can't tell how things will go then, with office work and the usual routine, then the streak of dawats right after Eid too. But I am looking forward to it, I sure as hell need a proper vacation.
