Never been around Gup Shup during Ramazan.
How many of you keep fasts??
Here are some facts that i thought i should share with you all!
Medical Benefits:
digestive system gets a rest! As a result repair and regeneration of the cells and enzyme system helps the body elimate
The Kideney is stimulated to concentrate urine and rest while fluid intake is stopped. This process allows the filtering mechanism to attain a homeostatic balance thus even lowering the blood pressure. (I copied this out from somewhere so I don’t know what it really means, but I guess its good for the kidneys is whats being said).
Acne is better contolled in people have dietary causes for their skin problems.
Weight loss is a common benefit of fasting.
You can quit smoking - if you really want!
Spiritually you feel alive.
However there is a tendency to overeat, once the fast ends we all indulge in rich greasy foods, deep fried pakoras along with lots of sweets.
I was thinking that all UK based Guppers should get together and have an Iftar Party (on me of course). Please email me if you are interested. I’d love to hear from you!
Thanks for the suggestions but you have to DECIDE to come before deciding a venue. And where are all the female guppers? We have to sort this out soon, Hopefully before EID ka Chand!!!!!
Ramadan MUbaarak to you all too!! :)
(like SAba ji said--abhi kuchh din baaqi hain :)-according to the Markazi Jamaat Ahle Sunnat as reported in yesterday's Jang (London edition) rozay will begin on Thursday although it all depends on sighting of moon...)
Mahmood Sahib,
Teek hai!
Pakoreey bhi asey ki you won't be able to keep rozey for the next few days.
We'll let all decide on a place!
By the way if any US based Guppers wanna come MOST WELLLLCCCCOOOOMMMEEE. How can we forget you all.
So whats it to be, Should I arrange for a venue and then let you all know or shall we consider everyone's travel etc.. and hold it at a mutually convienant place. Kuch tu andaaza ho. Everyone just keeps saying yeah, I'll come, I'll come!!!!
QASIM HAI MUJHEY ISS GUP SHUPP FORUM KI, its not a gup. I really from the bottom of my heart want us all to have this iftari party.
Please believe me.
Please let me KNOW!!!!!!!
Please email me now!
