1.             My favorite thing about Ramzan is how I manage a 'set' routine. Work starts early and finishes on time. We are home by maghrib. That never happens on a normal day
2.             People tend to get impatient and unruly towards others. Hunger and our usual Pakistani heat can make a lethal combination and you often see people arguing, shouting and being moody with each other
3.             I prefer keeping busy so i don't think too much about the growling in my tummy. I talk softly and make it a point to keep my cool no matter what. It realllyyyyyyy helps!



4.             I like being home with family for iftar. I can't eat much after staying hungry all day and open my roza with something light and eat an early dinner once and for all.

1.             I love how everyone has Iftari and Sehri together, it's just been one of those childhood things that everyone's together and there's a lot of unity.
2.             Bad moods; the way people start driving. They should be calmer as opposed to being impatient

3.             It gets really tough, because I work 16 hours a day, so sometimes when I have a really heavy schedule, I have to skip fasting. Because this one time, I actually fainted while fasting and working!

4.             Home. Who wants to eat outside yaar? We working people crave home cooked food because usually we're forced to eat out.

1)             Peace of mind, and pakoras and dahi barray
2)             I don't like sleeping right after food as it doesn't do good to your stomach, but during Ramzan, I can't help but fall asleep right after Sehri!
3)             It's a typical day without food and water. I even go to the gym during fast. I guess I am a bit of a freak!
4)             I try all the good spots during Ramzan, but the Village in Lahore is the best amongst all of them.

1 - My favourite thing about the month of Ramadan is that people give to others. Charity is very important and one must give wholeheartedly especially with the situation in our country. 

2 - The fact that prices of basic food items rises immensely and the poor man suffers even more...there is no need for the hoarding, it's a charitable month! 
3 - It's tough to work in the heat while fasting but one does one's best. Productivity does suffer, but that is expected. 

4 - I prefer home Iftars, home food is definitely safer and healthier.

1)             The realization of being hungry makes you empathize with people who live life like this the entire year; the feeling of being closer to God; control over your temper; Fajr time quietness.

2)             The rule that you are not allowed to eat or drink publicly defeats the whole purpose of Ramzan as life is supposed to go on as it is when you're fasting without any special treatment. The special timings we instill and everyone ignores their work as they want to go home early.

3)             Just like any other day, no special treatment. When you are fasting abroad, it's a lot more difficult compared to when you are fasting in Pakistan or any other Muslim country.

4)             It used to be Barbeque Tonight.

1)             Less work hours!
2)             I hate how crabby and irritable everyone gets. It's like, 'chillout dude, you're not the only one fasting.'

3)             I sleep. Then I wake up and plan my next sleep.

4)             My buddies and I have always had this tradition of going to the Pizza Hut all-you-can-eat Iftari special where we try to do outdo each other with who can eat the most slices. But I'm pretty sure one of us is going to die if we keep doing this.

Drummer, Overload

1)             Better traffic & gobi pakoras

2)             People use it as an excuse for not working. It's like an extended 'juma' (as in friday)

3)             I usually don't fast everyday because I have ulcer trouble but I definitely don't play drums because then I get dehydrated. Right before Iftari I go to the gym, although I end up putting on instead of losing weight in Ramazan.

4)            Never been out for Iftari - its mad out there!
