Sleepless in Ramadan

I Feel stoned! Seems like a bad hangover- that was the first week of Ramadan, and its not getting any better. I haven't sipped coffee since the beginning of Ramadan. But isn't that the whole point of Ramadan? -to change your routine from normal. I may be sleep deprived but its a different feel in Ramadan. I am in a dilemma whether the ample sleep before Ramadan was real sleep or have I woken up with Ramadan and now since I am awake I don't want to go back to sleep. Maybe, this sleep deprivation is a sign. I have yet to discover the trail. It could just be that I don't want to sleep so that I don't miss anything in this month. I guess, thats the decision each one of us make every day. We all know the facts, but we very tactfully dodge ourselves.

Ramadan's routine is going pretty hectic. Everyday we go to Masjid for the quran recitation. So far we're finishing up one Juz everyday. Hopefully, we'll finish off the whole quran this month. It is indeed a pleasure to ponder over the verses and in fact, a great time to reflect upon our lives.
