What is it about Ramadan, that it fills your being with such warmth and goodness. It’s as if you are a transformed person with just day 1 of the fast.
I admit frankly that I was never a regular rozedaar till 2015. So how did this turnaround happen? I happened to be in US in 2015 for a two year stint and I got a roomie from Afghanistan who became my BFF and more of a sister now. Atefa sharifi. At her behest and encouragement, I fasted the entire month of Ramadan for two years. And it was such an amazing feeling! The whole camaraderie and doing sehri, iftari, offering namaz together and making preparations for Eid... going to Al-Markaz (Most famous biryani restaurant in Plano, Texas) for Eid feast... going for Eid-Milan party and what not! It turned out to be a memorable experience. After returning to India, I just couldn’t discontinue the Ramadan fasting. I feel purified and rejuvenated after Ramadan. I feel mentally and spiritually so strong as if I can handle anything that the world throws at me.
I am not an overtly religious person. But this is one thing which I try to follow every year.
Ramadan Mubarak!
