Ramadan Blogging: Day 18

by Mohib on October 1, 2007

I am still not feeling well. I haven’t been this bad in a long time. Oh well.

Meanwhile, here is one of the most unusual and interesting article I read on Ramadan.

On the eve of Ramadan, I was with a group of colleagues, smoking at our usual spot outside the office building.

It was late evening and the gentle breeze had a hint of autumn. Someone just stepped out of the building and announced: “The moon is sighted. Ramadan starts tomorrow.”

There was a moment of thoughtful silence in the group. Then someone asked, without a hint of panic in his voice, “where are we going to smoke then?” [BBC News]
