TODAY... revisited part 3 ... WHERE AM I ... ?

Today 11 Zulhijjah is the first day of the three Tashrik days. IdulAdha was yesterday, Monday 10 Zulhijjah. Most pilgrims are either in Makkah or still at Mina. Those who manage or has chosen to complete their stoning at the Jamarat yesterday and rush to MasjidulHaram (on the same day) to perform their Tawaf Haji, Saie and Tahallul, thus has completed their 'manasik haji'. For those who do not manage or rather has chosen to stay back at Mina, they need to perform their stoning at the Jamarat for the other three days until 13 Zulhijjah before they could return to Makkah to complete their 'manasik haji'.

The environment in Mina today is practically similar to yesterday with hive of activities and crowds, but it will soon become significantly quite. By the 13 Zulhijjah the place is almost deserted except for some contractors doing cleaning up.

Today... some 15 years ago, I was there..... but where am I now??

WHERE AM I TODAY... AND FOR THE PAST 15 YEARS ???
