So how have you guys felt after the Holy month? Did you smoothly glide into your regular routine and indulge in your morning chai/coffee with glee? I always feel sad towards the end of the month but sooner than you know it, you’re back in the same routine, doing less ibadat and thinking less frequently of Allah. I feel like my spirituality levels have taken a dive.
At the same time, I feel fasting has made me stronger. If I’m hungry I can sustain it for longer periods, and dont feel the urge to shove something down my mouth or even drink something.
I lost 15 lbs before Ramadan and shockingly I was able to keep those off during Ramadan. So now for some reason my appetite is through the roof and metabolism seems very fast.
But losing those 15 lbs was a bad idea. I wasn't fat or anything, and it seems I lost muscle.
Well I like Ramadhan so much but at the same time I miss my morning tea
Jokes apart, There is no doubt this month make us stronger enough to fight with our natural desires.
After Ramadhan, the most I miss is “Traveeh” , Feel like crying on 29th/30th of Ramdhan, when you go for Namaz and just offer Isha
I love drinking a glass of water first thing in the morning. Habit resumes! Still no lunch. Actually, more and more, lunch is beginning to feel like such an optional thing now.
All desis at work had such a good excuse for a fifteen minute break for namaz just cause they were 'fasting' and that too a week before ramzan actually started.
its funny how the goras are so gullible.
I was like hello Ramzan is still a week away, whatcha these idiots been telling you?
They just found an excuse to have breaks and bluge ...
Beautiful, but i think restricting to once a year maintains the specialness and keeps us looking forward to it. Too much and the novely would wear off :)
For some reason I didn't feel all that spiritual this year :( I don't know why but Ramadan just didn't feel like Ramadan at all this year. I went through the 30 days quite emotionless shrugs - I kept on trying to figure out why the apathy within me but never could.
The month went pretty fast for me. I’m back to the normal routine, just hate missing Fajr. During Ramadan, I never missed Fajr and now I can’t seem to get up on time.
