Ramadhan the Holy Month in this Desert

Ramadhan is the month in which Holy Quran was revealed, so it is also for fasting and staying cleaner and for fasting. Muslins fast from dawn to dusk, but they do eat during the night.

I am writing this from a desert camp for Oil Industry Workers. Most workers are Muslim, so there is no public eating and drinking by non-muslins.

Though a desert, there are plenty of hungry people who long for food differnt from routine, so there are two eateries here, both run by expats. one is run by a Pakistani and the other by an Indian.

Outside the Paki restaurant, some left over food was found by a wandering camel, it stretched its neck and stared munching. That was an interesting view.

Today the 9th Sept 2010, may be the Ramadhan will come to an end today. All depends on sighting of moon at 7pm this day.
