Ramzan

Ramzan is here with all its blessings and memories. I am trying to see what I am writing but my eyes...ufff......I think they are also in flood. I am very sad and missing each and everything of my family and of my country.

I don't have words to say anything about the situation of flood in Pakistan. I have only tears to shed upon the misery and helplessness of my people. They have been continuously suffering from all types of crisis. Today, we arranged an event for fund raising at the place where I ve been interning. I remained upset the whole week because I was working on the presentation for this event. The situation is very depressing. I got shocked to know that the loss of property and people's livelihood is three times more than the Earthquake of 2005. I cannot bear the heartbreaking images of flood.

This is the only image which is responsible to make me shuddered. May Allah give us strength to pass through this difficult time.

This is my first Ramzan away from my family.  I never thought of this time. I never imagined how much difficult it could be. I cried alot from sehri to iftari. At iftari, the oil started jumping out of the pan when I was crying and making pakora side by side. Difficult, extremly difficult time but I ve chosen it and I ve to bear it! I keep saying to myself  'bhugto ab'

While experiencing all this, I have felt the great respect to all those girls who have been married to the person living abroad.  O my God! it's extremely difficult.  I even have the hope that I will inshAllah go back to my family. but they do not have this hope. So to all those men who have brought their wives from the other place, start respecting the sacrifice their wives have made and salute them subha shaam!!

P.S: Ramzan Mubarik! Let's pray this Ramzan sincerely for our country and try to play our roles in this calamity.
