The atmosphere suddenly seems so charged up now that Ramadan is here finally. I saw a billboard near my place advertising the new Pizza Hut sehri hungama offer. Look at the irony of it. Sehri hangama!! It looks like ppl have long forgotten what Ramadan really are for. Its all about practicing restraint upon yourself and to cleanse your soul rather than indulging in such hungama. What’s the point in observing a fast if all you are doing the whole day long is preparing meals and arranging iftaar or as the trend now is, sehri parties??
Its really very helpful if you make a Ramadan time-table. Perhaps we can share what each of us has planned out for the month?? Taking up one good quality a day and trying to adopt it is really very helpful. I know it because I tried it last Ramadan and I really felt a change within me.
Kher,
I was going through the piles of papers which have accumulated in my store over the years, my A level title among them. It’s so very stupid that I couldn’t help but laugh at whoever found this one for me. It’s a small piece of chart paper burnt on the edges and it goes like:
“ teri soorat se hai alaam mai baharon ko sabaat
teri aankhon k siwa dunya mai rakha kiya hai?”
it is frm a ghazal by Faiz Ahmed Faiz – mujh se pehli si mohabbat mere Mehboob na mang *rolling eyes*
