Yesterdays' RAMAZAN DAY 7    Penning back to back on the same day, feels different. .. Post fajr naps if delayed destroys the whole day. A brother came to visit after fajr and we talked till 9, I was so exhausted, probably the reason I forgot to write. .. One thing I realized today that when you finds someone who speaks the same native language as you or comes from the same background as yours, the whole conversation shifts to a whole different level, feels like someone from your own family. Pretty strange what just a language could do. .. Btw, half the conversation depends upon your non verbal attributes and also not only what you're saying but how you're saying, the tone, the delivery it all weights in heavily in a conversation, and if your true emotions could reflect by your mouth, what is better than that. whatever, moving on. .. Had an opportunity to attend an Islamic session on basic Aqaid and it reminded me of how important it is to have a solid grip on the basics of

  Yesterdays' RAMAZAN DAY 6   It happened, I missed a day, to be honest it was bound to happen.  This is actually a day later, so things might get a little mixed up, just a heads up before hand. .. The thing about living in a big city is the diversity it offers after every 30 kms, I mean, went for iftar on the other side of the city and I couldn't relate to that part of the city. Bro, for real though the energy was totally different. Pretty strange but true. .. One thing ramazan specific I love is the masjid vibes during taraweeh time. Not only if you're praying but also if you're just sitting, resting your back on some wall in an open air area of a masjid, just sitting there quietly listening to the recitation, letting it all in.  Feels so therapeutic for real. Feels like your soul is calming itself down, there are no worries, good positive vibes taking over.  It's all so beautiful until a stupid kid decides to run aimlessly in the hall and bumps into you, destroys

Yesterdays' RAMAZAN DAY 5   Yeah, it's a short one. one hell of a whatever it was day, for sure. .. First the freaking allergies, kills me. Bro, the things I'd do to get rid of them.  slept the whole day till asar, the medicine did that, I don't make rules. .. Woke up to the chaos in the country. I don't wanna say it all here because this is my solace bubble, you know. But these things really bothers me. How can a person be unmoved when so much is happening around.  For me I guess it's just the upbringing. News, politics, "activism" runs in the blood. .. Had my first iftar outside, I'm seeing it's getting started. I have to go for one tomorrow too. .. Thought football lords would be kind and will let us celebrate in peace but naah chaos entered that world too. There is no escape. .. Just dozed off bruh. I couldn't take anymore. The day felt so long and exhausting. .. I guess there is no other option than to just try to do as much of a good

Yesterdays' RAMAZAN DAY 4   Almost forgot to pick the pen again, wth is wrong. Never mind it's all good as long as the day's covered. .. You know, it's not so easy to live where I live, there's literally people every where, I'm not kidding there are so many people here and most of them are always out side. Getting somewhere is so hard and requires so much patience because every two steps you want to smack people but you can't because yk society. Ramzan teaches patience so we patient. How about that. .. Watermelon is such a great fruit, isn't it ? Not so fun cutting it by yourself. splashed the juice all over, but the fruit is so good, it's all worth it. .. As we move on, the days are getting better, no anxious thoughts, may be it's because we busy, who know, things looking positive is all that matters. .. Met a friend who was out in the middle of the ocean for work, he asked me to accompany him and as every adventure positive person. I wanted to

Yesterdays' RAMAZAN DAY 3 Yes, almost forgot to write, I knew it will happen eventually, life moves on. .. Lakers lost another game and I'm kinda worried now. AD got his clearance so we might see him in some next games, so that's good. .. Is it just me or the weather really acts up every Friday. I mean every Friday, it was boiling hot today. Also it was the first Friday of this years' ramazan, so that's something. .. Just Writing this and I'm boring myself. I don't know what I'm saying, there's nothing much to say. okay got it, I went to play tennis after asar, loved it. They took the separator nets though, no idea why. what else ?! Yes, still no punching bag. We'll get it someday inshaALLAH. .. You know when you have so much work to do, so much that you just don't do any. Today was one of those days. Took a long nap instead of doing anything. You got to take these days like a blessing cause you very well know the work you delayed will bite y

Check out yesterdays' RAMAZAN DAY 2 Still no punching bag. You know resolution kind of slipping off. Did some pushups and planking though, so that's whatsup. .. Had such a nice sleep after fajr. Naah not immediately, nobody can fix that problem, some says putting down the phone might help, but who knows. .. I have to make a questionnaire for fehm-e-deen classes on the topic of "akhirah". Downloaded the PDF and it already had some of the markings and pointers, found out there was some under lined and hand written questions too, God works in mysterious ways you know. Nevertheless I have to read more than 200 pages to make a good paper, the pointers and all definitely gave a jump start so thankful for that whoever did the good. .. I was just sitting and doing some work after Iftar and out of nowhere the crave for gulab jamun struck, gulab jamun, who would have thought, but you know heart wants what it wants. One thing for sure I wasn't going to buy it for myself. Ima

 Every year in Ramazan I try to write something every day till Eid. This year I tried the same and was able to pen it every day. Ramazan is quite busy and I'm mostly away from the keyboard so thought why not document it online after ramazan, so here it is. my first entry. RAMAZAN DAY 1 Ramazan always come with a weird mix kind of feeling at least for me. Don't know what it is, feels all kinds of excitements a day before but when the moon sights the anxiety all of a sudden shoots to the stars, is it just me ?  .. well, I needed to get the punching bag before ramazan you know to keep up with the resolution of the month but that failed. Miserably. Need to straighten that out. .. Is it just me who thinks post fajr naps are the most difficult ? I mean you can't sleep instantly and when you finals are able to and the dreams are about to peak the alarm goes off. figure it out. .. Well a friend of mine called, he had a job for me, editing job, 10 videos needed to be edited in a mon
