INKY PAST

I meant to update this every night but LIFE gets in the way. Also, I didn't take my laptop on holiday..

So here are #INKtober entries 6th Oct - 10th Oct

Travelled to London and here's a drawing following a couple's loud conversation about how their suitcase wouldn't fit in the overhead locker. Cue my giggling at the unintended yet drawn out innuendo..

Bought a P.G. Wodehouse book from a nearby Oxfam book store in Covent Gardens. His stories are always a good laugh and this Jeeves & Wooster novel was no exception. The first sentence made me chuckle.. and here it is!

Watched A LOT of Mad Men

Went to see Fantasic Mr. Fox at the Little Angel Theatre. FAB U LOUS

Met up with some amazing friends- we went tot hear some smoooooth Jazz at Oliver's :)

PACK ATTACK

Here is yesterday's Inktober entry. I was extremely tired and forgot to upload it last night :)
I'm flying to London today for a week's break. Since I always write lists when I travel, I thought it would be nice to draw what I still have to pack for the journey. Enjoy!

DAY FIVE

BAKRA EID

Today is "Bakra (Goat) Eid"- also known as Eid Al- Adha- a festival of sacrifice, it honours Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his promised son, Ismail, as an act of submission to God's command. God intervened to provide Ibrahim with a lamb to sacrifice instead. And so, Muslims all over the world sacrifice goats and/or cows and distribute the meat between family and those less fortunate than them. We also dress up nice and get money…

When my family lived in Pakistan, I remember every year we would have a goat or two delivered… I would spend a few hours trying to find a fitting name for each goat before... Eid.

Since we don't live there anymore- today was just another Saturday. It was nice to get texts and phone calls from family and friends wishing us a Happy Eid but it's not the same as being back in Pakistan.

Day four… Poor goat.
