Re: Are you looking forward to Ramzaan or dreading it ?
Yes, Ireland. Allah taala balanced it out well. We don't have to put up with the roasting temperatures but we get longer rozas! :D
And yes, they think we're super humans to be able to do that but honestly it's OKAY! You eat to live, not the other way around. As long as you're eating twice in 24 hours, you'll b alright!
ok......so i know this paki guy who lives in dublin.......he said people there do iftari with beer instead of rooh afza.......that true??
Re: Are you looking forward to Ramzaan or dreading it ?
Yes, and we face the pub when praying, not the Qibla!

Re: Are you looking forward to Ramzaan or dreading it ?
I’m dreading it … 
I’m looking forward to it only because of the fact that it’s a holy month .. I’m ready for the taraweeh’s the ibaadah and the overall amazing feeling of ramadan. BUT i am pregnant and I’m nauseous and cranky and tired all the time and I have a toddler who doesn’t sleep through the night. Waking up is not a problem for me but waking up to make sehri is exhausting me just thinking of it 
And making pakoras and eggrolls and all that fried food for husband is making me loose my appetite already 
Re: Are you looking forward to Ramzaan or dreading it ?
Nah, I’m too young to get married 
And I only cry when I see bad spelling or jars of Nutella being wasted

Re: Are you looking forward to Ramzaan or dreading it ?
Lets all look forward to coming Ramazan, this might be last Ramadan for some of us.
Re: Are you looking forward to Ramzaan or dreading it ?
Offcourse I look forward to Ramzaan.
Its like a spiritual retreat and besides instills and re-enforces dicipline into my life, without such order I would be a monster of chaos.
Besides its a great Month so we should make the most of it. Look forward to seeing old friends at Taraweeh time. :D

Aren’t you exempt, lady ?
As far as making pakoraas and what not for hubby,
please inform him that no fancy snacks this time around.
Only regular roti-saalan or daal-chaawal at Seher & Iftaar.

pregnant women are NOT exempt...only the nursing mothers are but they have to complete it as soon as they can...ONLY medical conditions and/or extremely hard conditions or very old age and infirm health can exempt a person from skipping fasting in Ramadhan... :)

Wow, I should have known that but since kabhi paaoun bhaari nahi huey, iss liye khayaal nahi aya. :D
And here we are - hattey kattey, mushtandey - complaining about starving and food/water deprivation.
Won't the dear baby get mal-nourished ?
