Ramadaneyat

  • 1st day of ramadan, no traffic officers early morning
  • finish work early
  • trip to home takes more time then on regular days
  • people want to go to home as early as possible
  • people don't want to work, it's a general feeling.
  • tv shows one series after another, all u have to do is to change the channel from 1 to 2 and from 2 to 1 (i only watch 1 or 2 or not at all)
  • children playing in the street (they do in summer and in ramadan)
  • people sleep very very late
  • children playing with "bomb" (not bomb as the word in english, it is an arabic word for the little small thing they throw in the street and makes a small boum)
  • concerts everywhere (i go to at least one event per week)
  • too much food from all kind
  • lamps or "fawanis" ramadan everywhere (small or huge, poor or rich, u find it everywhere)
  • before start of ramadan, people go shop for much food as if there would be a famine
  • the only time i see a lot of people reading in the transportations which is not common on normal days

  4. i am sorry, maybe all what i wrote about bad habits but i didn't mean it. there are a lot of good habbits during that holy month and i wish it could continue all the time.

    welcome wasif to my blog. i guess the important is what we feel inside not what is shown everywhere cos sometimes we are lost with the mainfestations and we forget the essential
