| smile, it's ramadan . 2019 |
wishing all those that are observing the holy month a ramadan kareem. it's my first ramadan in two years since moving back home post grad school, and i'm happy to be back around family as it's the only time of year we eat together for the month.
here's a little festive illustration based on a photo i took of ramadan decorations in one of the malls here. i immediately saw a smiley face and thought it was funny, because people during the fasting hours are far from happy!
i'll keep this short and sweet – try to make the most of ramadan whether you observe it or not. and remember, an empty stomach isn't an excuse for bad behaviour. i feel people tend to behave even worse during fasting hours and it's so stupid! drive safe, don't be judgy, give back in some way to those in need, and lastly, your experience during ramadan is a personal one. leave everyone else alone to experience their version of it.
