Re: Ramadan
What is it about Ramadan that makes it so enjoyable? I understand the religious significance but im guessing that isnt what you refer to? I really only experienced it decades ago in Iran which - believe me - wasnt much fun for an infidel. |

People are chilled and a bit reflective ... or simply exhausted 4. It's a good time to reflect personally too, even if I'm not religious. I use the time to focus on some personal development activities. 5. I generally just like the feel of the place around this time. I also like to see people being so committed to something - it's quite interesting to watch. |
Re: Ramadan
I always enjoy this month. Part of it is because I lay off all the bad habits for an entire month and on top of that I try extra hard to be more calm and collected and the fasting bit really helps in shedding the unwanted fat. Hoping to loose atleast a couple of Kilos off this time around although this would be my first Ramzan with Type 2 Diabetes so will be monitoring the blood sugar levels more actively I guess. The office lets off early, so more time spent with the family, whats not to love :)

I told someone I liked it and like the nature of the month and what it means before, they couldn't get their head round it but it's definitely there and can be seen / felt. Also, more golf. Even if we now work a sensible 8hr day as reduced hours. |

Re: Ramadan
One day off will be a bonus in my new company.
If Eid falls on a Friday, supposedly the company will expect us to work on Sunday as they will give Friday & Saturday even though its a weekend. Fingers crossed its a 30 day Ramadan and Eid falls on a Saturday. |
Re: Ramadan
Ramadan tomorrow here in Kuwait and 29 days for Eid
