Today marks the end of Ramadan for the year 2005. Just wanted to wish all those who have just finished their fasting or are about to finish their last day of fasting in a little while’s time EID MUBARAK (loosely translated you can think of this as Arabic for MERRY CHRISTMAS). I’ve got to say that the first 3 weeks went by without me really noticing anything different about my habits, however the last 1 week has been very tough on me.

I guess that’s mainly a psychological effect of wear and tear. It’s bound to happen, as the month starts off with a lot of energy and enthusiasm for the event, and then towards the twilight of the month, it’s a bit more of a slog to get through the day. What made this day slightly harder was I was hoping that yesterday would have been the last day, to my disappointment. It’s like running the marathon (not that I’ve done that), finishing, and then someone telling you that there’s another km to complete the task at hand.
