Amidst the bustling energy of our office, there was a sense of anticipation as a small group of us prepared for a special iftar celebration. Codimite, ever inclusive and embracing of diverse cultures, was hosting this event to honour the traditions of everyone within our team.
As the sun dipped below the horizon and the clock struck 6 PM, we gathered together for prayers, a moment marking the beginning of our feast. The scent of warm porridge filled the air, offering comfort and warmth to our souls as we broke our fast. But it was the arrival of the biryani sawan from Hotel Ramada that truly set our hearts racing. Its aroma gestured to us, promising a feast fit for kings. With eager anticipation, we gathered around, laughter and chatter filling the room as we indulged in the savoury delight before us. Each handful of biryani was a symphony of flavours, transporting us to culinary bliss with every bite.
And just when we thought our taste buds couldn't be any happier, out came the classic favourite Watalappam. The rich sweetness of the Watalappam provided the perfect finale to our meal, leaving us completely satisfied and content. As we savoured the last spoonfuls, we couldn't help but reflect on the joy and camaraderie that filled the room.
With plates emptied and bellies full, we quickly set about tidying up, the clock reminding us that it was already 8 PM and time to head home. As we went our separate ways, the memories of love, food, and laughter stayed with us, leaving a lasting mark on our hearts. This day, this celebration would be one to cherish for years to come.
