| Ramadan Shopping | |
By Sarah Kaleem Ahmed
The last ten nights of Ramadan are the most precious among all the other nights. The last ten includes one night which Allah says is better than 1000 months.
Yet, the majority of the population begins its Eid shopping only in these last ten nights. You can see streets crowded with people all set to buy clothes, accessories and shoes for their family and themselves.
Some of those people who really want to spend Ramadan's grand finale in doing good deeds tend to prepare themselves in the first two weeks of this month. But not everyone is rich! Not everyone can afford the branded couture!
Most of them rely on retail shops which offer a wide range of collection in affordable prices. These retail shops are fully aware of their demand in the market and that the majority of people come to them. Hence, they exploit the commoners by sending them back. On asking one of the salesperson of a textile shop, why there were no new designs, pat came the reply, “Sister, please do visit us 2-3 days before Eid; the latest designs arrive only at that time.”
