We, the post-graduate students and staff of Jnana-Deepa Vidyapeeth (JDV) celebrated the “Spirit of Eid Mubarak” (Hari Raya Aidil Fitri) with our Kitchen staff on 31st August. Our kitchen staff consists of a Muslim family celebrating their “Eid Mubarak” for the second time ever since the Post-graduate block (PG Block) officially launched in 2010.
Anuar and Family
Despite the festivity, Mr and Mrs Anuar Babu Sheikh and his family opened the kitchen just for the sake of our meals. A month ago the JDV administration had extended their contract for the next 3 years. Today, being a festivity, they offered a special lunch us.
Before the meal, on behalf of all students, Fr Saji (caput- head of students) greeted the family of Anuar and the kitchen staff whereas Fr Dileep Kumar explained how this festivity came about in English and Hindi. Fr Francis Ezhakunnel, Moderate of PG block gave a token of appreciation to Anuar’s family. We all sang a song for the kitchen staff – “Rejoice, All Always and I Say Rejoice.”
They joyfully celebrated by serving us special dishes such as ghee rice, tandoori chicken, payassam, handkerchief tosai and ice-creams. Since it was also Malaysia's 54th Merdeka Day (Independence Day), many of them also remembered to wish me “Selamat Hari Merdeka.”
