Day 13 – Mother
This pic of my Mom and me was taken when I was about five,
I guess. Of course, this picture has nothing to do with Ramadan, but when I saw
this prompt in the list, I just felt like looking at some old photos. So my
sister and I dug out the dusty old albums, and my Mom joined us. It was fun
going through those old discolored snaps together, and I picked this one for
the blog :-).
As far as Ramadan is concerned, my Mom is my signal for
beginning Ramadan preparations. She’s the one who reminds me that it’s time to
go Ramadan shopping; sends me a big load of frozen samosas, cutlets, spring
rolls and the like; even checks on what I’m wearing for Eid (and I’m 30 :-)).
Day 14 – A for …
…Almonds.
Love these little gems. I put them in my muesli for
Suhoor, and it lasts me wonderfully through the day. Blend them with some
dates, milk and honey and I have a healthy, yummy drink to break my fast with. These
are really a perfect food for fasting days.
Here is a pic I clicked when I woke up for Suhoor (about
4:35 AM). The moon was full and bright, and light was flooding into our
bedroom. It was really magical and I couldn’t help but capture the moment.
