As a rule, man is fool; when its hot, he wants it cool; when its cool, he wants it hot; always wanting what is not!

Happy Ramadan!!



So, its here again.
Yes, The Holy month of Ramadan with all its blessings is back.

The whole atmosphere changes as soon as the moon for This Holy Month is sighted.

The sehri....

I love it the most.....
I- a person who detests the sight of breakfast, loves food at the time of Sehri.
Maybe its the thought that i won't be eating anything for the whole day which makes me like it....

Whatever the reason, i love getting up so early...
And gulping everything hurriedly, drinking water at the last moment....

The prayers, The recitation of Holy Quran.....
Everything seems holy.... a lot more purer...!

The roza.....

It passes most of the time without our notice.....
Somehow, the hunger pangs dont bother much.....

But, sometimes... it can be a real test.
Especially, the first few days of Ramadan... When one is not used to keeping the mouth and stomach empty for long hours.....

The Aftari.....

Hmmm, its the prime time. The whole day seems to move forward to it. You start thinking about it from sehri time :P
All the favourite foods- pakoras, samosas, dahi bhalley, chaat etc etc

Only the thought of all these keeps the salivary glands activated throughout the day.

Apart from all this, the aftar get-togethers, the alarms for sehri, the missed calls to make sure all friends and relatives wake up in time and most of all- The ibadat.

The prayers, may it be the regular five time prayers or the taraveeh.
It gives a sense of peace to everybody.

Before we get used to all this, the Holy month departs giving us the gift of Eid....

May we collect as many blessings as we can in this month.
Wishing the whole MUSLIM UMMAH.... a very very happy and blessed month of Ramadan.

MARHABA RAMADAN KAREEM!
