Tuesday, March 12, 2024 (Another Ramadan)

Over the past few years, Ramadan has been starting closer to the winter season. I've begun to notice the chill of winter creeping into the late night, a sensation that had been absent for quite some time. The weather now feels a lot like it did during Ramadan in 2005/2006, probably around September or October. It's nice to be reminded of those past Ramadan memories by the similar weather we're having now.Time moves on its own, and I've experienced a lot as it goes by. Someday, everything will come to an end for me, but I'm okay with it because it's just how nature works.

Saturday, April 25, 2020 (Staring the month of Ramadan during the period of quarantine)

So, it's the first day of Ramada-2020 but everything is not usual like other years. Every year, the day starts like a festival but the scenario is totally different year this. There is no iftar shop this year. Infact, there is also restriction on "Tarabi" Prayer. 

Many initiatives are taken but it is not implemented properly. People still go outside with or without needs. We don't properly understand the concept of quarantine. 

Today, I have visited my work station and it is approximately empty. Only 10/12 persons are there. 

Though I am fasting, the feeling of fasting is not same as previous years. Life is like a jail now. But the scenario will change one day which every will be normal. 

Saturday, May 18, 2019 (A sleepless day)

I have got up today at 1 am. Last day was the most uncomfortable fasting. There were some situations for which it was tough.

At first, I didn’t have a sound sleep. I slept less than 1 hour. Basically I slept around 2 am and got up around 3 am for having my Sehri. After Sehri, I could not sleep. I tried but my attempt was not working. I had a class at 9 am. So there is no scope for sleep rest of the day. 

Secondly, I had an odd class-schedule on Friday. There were 2 classes in which one was from 9 am to 11 am and another was from 2.30 pm to 4.30 pm. The gap time between classes was not useful because there was a 2 hours needed to travel from university to home to university.

Thirdly, the weather was quite hot and unsuitable at all. So, anyone became tired in doing small tasks.

Fourthly, I visited some places in the gap time with my wife. 

Less sleep was the main reason behind feeling worst. I felt like energy less person, brain less and focus less.
