Today we offered fateha for hazrat imam Hussain A.S and the martyrs of Karbala which should have been offered on the 10th of muharrum but due to the death of my Grand Mother in a naval hospital on the 9th of muharrum and her funeral on the 10th of muharrum it was delayed.Traditionally haleem or کھچڑا is cooked overnight in a cauldron and the fateha is offered early morning so that it is eaten before the sun and heat starts to decompose it. Since we are still in the mourning and avoiding the extravagance this year the cauldron was avoided much to the regret of few as the taste of the haleem cooked in a pot can never be the same.Professional cooks, caterers or takeaways help cannot be taken on this occasion.Its one of those things where you either do it yourself or you don't do it at all.
