Re: Who's ready for Ramadan

Oh I'm excited for Ramadan...and Eid too. (Not gonna lie, I already picked out what I'm gonna wear LOL haha)

When I was small I used to think we could only eat before sunrise and after sunset during Ramadan because Allah Mian couldn't see us eating when there was no light and the sun went down. (Astaghfarullah, I know..but remember I was just a kid hey:D).

Well look on the bright side atleast you're getting through it during your younger years as opposed to when you're like 50 or something.

Re: Who’s ready for Ramadan

It depends on how hungry/thirsty you are and when your lab ends…but you can keep a bottle of water with you and when it’s time, drink some water. If possible, eat ASAP afterwards.

Re: Who's ready for Ramadan

lol eat sehri in that case and just have 1-2 khajoor along with water with u (like Shiki said). You don't need to have entire dish in ur bag. As for me, I can face hunger easily Alhamdulillah (and I use this to my advantage, especially in Ramadhan). Even if I don't eat suhoor, I can go without food or drink even after Iftari (yes in "long" days too). Again, if you fear that 1-2 khajoor isn't gonna do for you then eat suhoor (which shud help u more than if u don't eat in the morning) and eat khujoor till ur done with ur lab and after that, u can eat whatever u want on campus.

Re: Who’s ready for Ramadan

shikki: hahaha.

heyyyy don’t say anything about my purse besides school main bag chalta hai purse nahin

oho you guys i’ve opened rozas in classes before it’s just that this time it’s a lab and it gets a bit hard to sneak out, and you can’t have any food stuff on your table, so i’m just wondering how i’m gonna sneak out for 5 mins to open it. the rest is no biggie

Re: Who's ready for Ramadan

lol I have a lab @ that time too but it shudnt be a big of a deal. Its not like the TA's eyes are gonna be on you throughout the lab. And besides, if u talk to ur TA and explain to him/her that u need 4-5 minutes off during the lab, it shudnt be a big of a deal

EDIT - Explaining the situation to ur TA a week ahead is always better than just "leaving" during the lab (even if its for 5 minutes)

We're not ready as it usually means increase in terrorist activities from jihadis.

Re: Who's ready for Ramadan

Do not eat fried stuff - pakoray, samosay blah blah. Eat simple things. Cut on oil and sugar. Otherwise after ramadan you will end up with more kilograms. And as ST said - acidity is the casue of the bad breath - avoiding these oily and fried stuff will definetly help you.

Re: Who’s ready for Ramadan

you people dont know this

I came across some food tips and thought i’d share, some memebrs may feel/want to try implement during the month of ramadhan.

Replace coffee with herbal and caffeine-free teas 1-2 weeks before Ramadan to avoid headaches from caffeine withdrawal

Avoid over-eating at Sohour, and try to consume foods such as dates, bananas and almonds as they are rich in fiber, potassium, magnesium and carbohydrates.

Drink as much water or fruit juice as possible between Iftar and bedtime, so that your body has time to adjust fluid levels.

Eat well-balanced meals and avoid fried foods as they cause indigestion, heartburn and weight problems

During Ramadan, avoid fast-burning foods containing sugar and white flour. Instead, consume slow-burning foods that contain grains and seeds

Yes…I know most of these and every year I say…I’m gonna do the above **this year **and every year I conveniently forget:( esp the caffeine withdrawal part…Where’s my cup of masala chai?

PS..hin33.…i am soo ready for Ramadan. I’ve bin waitin for this month for God knows how long. What a blessed month. This year im lookin forward to the last ten days of Ramadan and Lailat-ul-Qadr. Although it is gonna b a bit tough wakiing up five in the morning and attend school at the same time. But i dont think it should make such a huge difference…thnks for the tip BTW…

Re: Who's ready for Ramadan

Hey you can have lighter desi foods - such as luki ka raita, dals with boiled rice, other desi style vegetables, roties of whole meal flour etc

Re: Who's ready for Ramadan

All the girls should not complain too much about not being ready.

They dont have to worry about Taraweeh (in Jamaat) and anyway, they get a 5-6 days break during Ramadhan:D
