Today, we have facilities like time piece alarm (even on our simple mobile sets), used for getting up for sehri…
But in old days, when there were no such facilities available, how people used to get-up for sehri?
Have you observed dhol walas coming at the sehri time and getting all people (who want to fast or not) out of their sweet dreams?

Re: Roza, Sehri aur dhol
I don’t remember dhol walas coming at sehri times in our area… We used to wake up on the voice of a molvi’s voice in loud speaker saying ‘Allaah’… One of my cousin used to reply ‘Kaat khae iss mulla ko balla’ 
Re: Roza, Sehri aur dhol
In my Muhalla still the dhol wala comes and wakes up people in the sehri
