KANPUR: Today being the second day of the festival Eid gets at the shadow of lockdown. Limited movement prevails with certain oddities.
The "Eidi" seekers look a little upset with a drop in their collection of the festival gift in the form of new currency notes due to the lockdown.
They rued that the lockdown has a direct impact on the amount. Either they failed to reach their relatives or relatives did not reach them. Some of the near relatives could not turn up owing to the restrictions.
One said: Eidi collection remained far below the expectations. Other said: We were contented with whatever we got so far. Third said: It was a bad collection this time.
However, teenagers compromised with the situation when they understood the problems. It is of course gift usually given from elder relatives and friends as part of the festive occasion.
