Recalling how they used to celebrate Eid after marriage, Saira Banu wrote, "When I was young and the sacred month of Ramzan would arrive, our home would glow not merely with flickers of light, but with sheer devotion. There was something special in the air, a peace that came with fasting, prayer, and reflection. Yet, it was only after my marriage to Dilip Sahib that Eid took on a life of its own. Our home that belonged merely to us became a place where love, goodwill, and bonds lived. By morning, the house would be adorned with flowers sent with great affection. And just as the first light of dawn stretched across the sky, a band of musicians would assemble at our doorstep. The melody of their drums and bugles would hardly be ignored by anyone in Pali Hill."
