PESHAWAR: The coronavirus pandemic, lockdown and the announcements urging the people to stay at home instead of visiting others for Eid greetings have prompted many to re-introduce the culture of sending Eid cards.
Sending colorful Eid cards inscribed with messages, wishes, prayers and Eid greetings was an old practice, which is no longer in vogue. People used to send and receive Eid cards, but the arrival of mobile phones added a new dimension to this tradition as sending an SMS is more convenient.
Though greetings received via SMS could not be alternate for the Eid cards or personal visits, it is a fast way of exchanging Eid greetings.
