Ramadan

Another month of no food while the suns up. Its not to bad during weekday because i'm occupied and busy, but the weekends will be harder. Especially with the 'shift' being about 13 hours long.

I dare any of you to keep a fast.

Re: Ramadan

I do, but only for one day once a month. How much do you eat after sunset Kash? Do you fast liquids too? I think I would find that the hardest.

Re: Ramadan

Can you get up early, before sunrise, and have breakfast?

I used to go all day without breakfast/lunch when I was working. You feel much more energised with some fuel in you to start the day.

Re: Ramadan

As the Islamic calender is to do with the moon, ramadan comes 10 days earlier every year. so in a few years ramadan will be in the summer.

Re: Ramadan

If I was a Muslim I would migrate round the world to make sure I encountered the shortest possible time between sunrise and sunset.


In the Falkland Islands that is now approximately three hours. Easy peasy.

Re: Ramadan

...but I wouldn't live in Scandanavia, if Ramadan fell in June, where day light lasts for twenty three hours!

Re: Ramadan

My friend has just organised a drumming festival in Nelson and realised that not only is it during Ramadan, so he'll get tired easily, but it's on at the same time as a food festival in the town centre. He's a bit bummed out by the thought.

Re: Ramadan

The moral of that story Gayle is to check the calendar with care. Food festival going on when fasting must be doubly difficult. How heavy are the drums? Are they the ones slung over the shoulder?

Re: Ramadan

Fortunately, he's not actually drumming - just organising it but yes they are the big drums.

There are Chinese Lion dancers and Batala drummers and Dhol drummers - not all playing at the same time.

30th Sept
12 - 4
Nelson Town Centre

http://www.batalaliverpool.com/ - one of the bands.
