AWWW!! I love Ramzan!!! (Scroll down for an awesome video!!)

Okay so I have mentioned Ramazan in my earlier posts as well!! But those of you who still aren't fimiliar with the concept here is what it is!!

In the holy month of Ramazan muslims fast from dawn to dusk, they pray to God and spent the month doing things that please God!

If you're still not familiar with Muslim tradition of fasting, lemme explain. We get up before dawn and eat a little before the morning prayer, this time is known as Sehri time and food for this purpose is Sehri (just like breakfast).From then onwards we don't eat or drink anything and stay hungry until the dusk! Once the dusk prayers are called out we break our fasts. This time of the day when we break our fasts is known as Iftar time and the food prepared for this purpose is called Iftar (click here to see how it looks like). Our religion gives us this concept, so that we learn patience and we experience what the poor and hungry experience everyday. In the Muslim calender, the month is called Ramazan when we fast for 30 days and then once Ramadan is over we celebrate Eid, a festival for those who have fasted and prayed to Allah.

Now Ramadan is like a culture; and in every different part of the world it is celebrated in a seperate manner!! Here in Pakistan, arrival of Ramazan is pretty tangible!! The Mosques (the place where we worship) are all lighted up! Bakeries are filled with Ramazan food!!! The T.V blares out commercials, which are all related to Ramazan!! And it is all really nice!!! I love Ramazans!!! :)

I am soo busy these days, I hardly get time to blog! After Sehri I get ready for college and when I come back from college, I am sooo darn tired; I go to sleep!! I get up, help my mom in preparing Iftar, and by the time I am over with all this, it's nine and I have to do my home work!!! So right now I am missing out on my Iftar to write all this, I didn't get much time to eat either!! :(

Well here is a commercial of a local milk brand, which shows the Ramazan culture at its best! It's on the TV all the time!! Well here goes, a video is better than a thousan pictures and a billion words!!!
