RAMADAN

The holy month for all Muslims, I call it the month of detoxification of body, mind and soul. Fast from dawn to dusk to detox your body from food and drinks, alcoholism, smoking, even water for 30 days. Simultaneously you detox yourself spiritually by not indulging into gambling, gossiping, refrain from anything evil in thoughts, words and action. As the day goes along remembering God (Allah) almighty the creator to look upon us with His mercy and forgiveness for better life in this world and after. Fasting is tough, but opens up our mind to know how much we take everything around us for granted. We eat, speak and act as we desire whether it is right for our mind, body and soul. You give up going to clubs, and bars for the entire month, the whole idea of dressing sense change, you start to dress modestly and patiently wait until dusk to put the right food into our body. The desires for favourite food fill the mind and signals the empty stomach that starts to make various sounds, each moment gets harder and harder, the real test of patience. Whether I am enjoying Ramadan the answer is 'Yes" I love the change and shock myself from monotony......It does take my mind to God and connects you to the unknown which is the ultimate answer.
