whenever Ramzan starts approaching near, suddenly it seems like the world takes on a different color 
ofcourse Ramzan in Pakistan is just :k: :k: :k:

RAMZAN MUBARAK to all of u’z 
well irem,
preparing food, waiting for it, pait me bhook oor khaana banaana… is ki eek apni lazak hooti haye…
afcource the religious atmosfere is the most important thing in ramzaan … for me atleast it is…
its also the “air” that surounds the whole month, the whole atmosfere does it all…
and at our home, finally we eat together, mainly at normal days, some one eats at a time, ( when he she arrives from work/ college)
and doosra koyi oor time par kha raha hoota haye… afsoos… so ramzaan me ham sab akathe khaate haye… thats really something too…
and all that together makes this month so special…
irem,
yaar is maheene ki baat hi kuch oor haye, I can imagen what you are saying, eek ronak si lagti rehti haye, even if you are hungry or you are not doing the things you normal do…
hamaare haan radio par sehri, oor iftaari ki waqt par naat, azaan and kalaam hoota haye. us ki bhi eek ronak alagh… and hen family gets together, masjed Jaana, namaaz adaa karna… and afcource all the other little things I forgot to mention…
nice thread…

I am at school, my first ramadan away from home…i miss Ramadan at home 
No mom to make you eat, no brother to fight with while both our eyes are closed, no yummy food like pakore, samose, etc. But to celebrate the first day I went with some friends to Denny’s for sari! It was fun and different! I feel like it came out fo nowhere this year! And 
Eid will be at school toooo…Its ok, you make the best of what you can. MUBARAK ALL!
Sandleen, 
maybe, i might not understand completely coz my mom is still alive..but i always have tried putting myself into other people’s shoes..and tears just roll over my cheeks..and i say a prayer..that lucky i am to have a family around me..but sis..i know you try your best to bring happiness into the life of your brother..so don’t feel bad and sad hugs Hum ko bhi apni family samjhain.. lets be a happy family together
Irem, its the sense of unity and belonging that i get..be it from spending time with people on iftars and sahoor or be it in spending time with the community at mosque..i just have a feeling of happiness all around me
Sandleen - yaar i am left speechless after reading your post, don’t know if anything i will say will make you feel any better…hug…bas Allah se dua hae ke tum aur tumhari family ko Apne Aman mein Rakhay.. Sandleen, yehi to zindagi hae yaar, we all have to go through losing our parents one day i am glad that atleast you and your bro are living together and are trying to console each other i really admire you for trying to put a smile on your face for the sake of your little brother…
yaar in 1998, mere maamoon ke betey kee bhee fotgi hui thee, just before ramzan, he was in his mid twenties…i saw what they went thry as well…Sandleen, a lot of ppl are going through these situations…Allah himmat dene wala hay, tum mayoos mat hona…
yaar u should try to go to the masjid for iftaar and tarawee, werna gher mein akele aur udaasi ho gi…
and never feel alone, i know we are only net friends but still we do care for you and pray for your happiness, Allah tumhara ye mushkil wakt asaani se guzar dey aameen i know u try not to cry in front of ur little brother, par jab bhee ronay ka dil karay, hum se galay lag ke zaroor ro sakti ho

Yaar, again. Everything i would have wanted to say to you has been said by our other sweettoo sisters. Time is the greatest healer baby, and the pain is still so raw and fresh yet. Inshallah, keep your faith in Allah miyah, one day you will remember your happy periods with a smile and think back with a warmth. I hope that day comes soon…
