As much as I wanted to sneak in my DSLR to the Eidgah, the lack of security and storage and (importantly) to avoid annoying stares, I stuck to my crappy old Motorola Charm to click a few pics of Eid al Adha revelry.
I used a third party app Retro Cam on my phone to compensate for the no-focus terrible camera module on my phone... and it came with a price- it took more than 10 seconds to process one shot.
Sharing some of the usable ones below.

| The Army owned mosque is used as Eidgah while a large number of tents accommodate the surging crowds |
 |
| This little kid has no clue what the Imam is saying! |
 |
| Most people left after the mandatory namaz. I walked to the end of line to avoid the crowd mayhem |
 |
| It pays to carry the cheapest slippers you have, so there are no hard feelings if they get stolen. In a crowd like this. it's no long shot |
 |
| How I wish there was something I could climb up on to capture the thousands walking home on Langer house road stretch |
 |
| Rivers of blood flowed on streets at Tolichowki and nearby places. We could have shown a little consideration to people of other faith by washing off the red with loads of water. |
 |
| Share autorickshaws(my only mode of transport) had a field days shuttling celebrating folk |
