Ramzan, the holy month when Allah revealed the Glorious Quran, is here again. The month of fasting, prayers and charity.
In the last few days I had been busy preparing to make myself ready for our holy month.
This month is a blessing for us, when we actually feel that there is some meaning in our life. We feel a sort of special happiness and peace. We feel we are nearer to God.
We sacrifice the entertainments, we control our emotions, we put a lot of effort to refrain from greed, lust, gossip etc. In this month, even an alcoholic (one of the biggest sins in Islam) becomes a teetotaler, a chain smoker becomes a non-smoker, the people who are too busy that they don’t even get time to pray, slow down to pray and ask for forgiveness.
It is a month of Charity. When we fast, we understand what Hunger means and thirst means. It reminds us how lucky we are and that there are millions of unlucky people around the world who can’t even afford a single meal in a day. Charity comes naturally in this month.
The month of Ramzan ends with Eid ul fitr when we have a special celebration after the 30 days of fasting. The day starts with a special prayer usually conducted in open Ground. Then we will prepare Biriyani (in which Muslims are the best) for lunch. All the relatives and friends meet in the evening to share the happiness and love.

Yes, a time to ask forgiveness from Allah, "The Almighty" for whatever we have done wrong knowingly or unknowingly...
Now this month again after one year, once more reminds me being alone and fasting without amma or ummi...ramzaan days before two years, along with either amma or ummi will never come back...everything has changed.....
Things change... thatz how life moves on...
