Then and now

         Tonight is the night of Eid, where takbir reverberates and everyone greets with joy. Although there are actually feelings of sadness because Ramadan has passed. When I heard the takbir, I remembered my childhood, where the night of Eid is a night so happy, tradition like burning candles, fireworks and fireworks only done on that night. First, me and all santri in pesantren join in takbiran parade to welcome Eid. We went around the village with a torch made of bamboo and takbiran, after tired we usually share a pack of noodles and eat it together at the pesantren location. Such a time will not happen again, even though we used to celebrate takbiran night simply but it all feels good. Now very different, the meaning of the evening takbiran has been greatly reduced, where no more small children who go around the village to takbiran, even they prefer to neglect with hp or around the motor. As well as with silaturrahmi, which we used to go around to the neighbors and now other places such as cafes are more interesting to come in compared to the home of teachers or relatives. Sometimes want to feel back to the past, where the sense of togetherness is so strong and the only activity that I do just to play with a piece of cookware. All seem different now and all we can do is try to restore the old habits starting from ourselves.
Regardless of the difference first and now, Eid fitri remains a thing in waiting by all Muslims in the world.
Happy idul fitri to all of muslim friends.
