Ramadhan Mubarak
Ramadhan is estimated to start on the 23rd of September this year. Therefore I'm sending a Ramadhan Mubarak (Blessed Ramadhan) out to those who will fast, contemplate, pray and celebrate. I'm not a muslim, I will not be fasting. (The reason why I'm cutting down on food intake since some days is that I'd like to lose some weight.)
Still, Ramadhan has come to mean something to me since the city I live in is one with a substantial Muslim population. Ramadhan changes the market, the Turkish and Moroccan shops. The changes are small - certain products in the stores, more dades on sale, the number of people coming out of the mosques -, but they all mark this festive little buzz in the air which leads me to think of Ramadhan with happines and positive feelings. I'm almost longing to participate...
