My moleskine is finally getting the better of me. Drawing hair like mine.

Ramadan eating habits
I lost a kilo since I began fasting this month. I'm not really the perfect muslim but I have been trying to probe into and understand why we do so many things that make us a muslim. Suddenly, in recent development, it makes sense to me in a weird way (a way that only nehal ahmed can understand). The most recent of which is the sehri/suhur meal of the fasting month.
My mother forcefully woke me up to feed me this morning saying, 'Sehri time doesn't last forever so just wake up and eat.' I wish that throughout my life I was woken up like this to eat my morning meal. I feel so healthy and fresh to eat at this hour and then at sunset. I give my body enough time to digest before I sleep. Like they have in everyone's favorite diet plan, eat before 7 am breakfast and before 7 pm dinner. Well, if I could alter the fasting by incorporating drinking of water throughout the day then all of us will be pretty healthy.
When I was a kid I would feast at both meals and starve the whole day, which, of course we know is wrong. Hunger is really nothing very hard to overcome nor is the thirst because we spend our entire day in air conditioned spaces and comfortable chairs. I eat extremely appropriately. As they say in, well, people just say it, eat enough and leave (in your stomach) space worth another roti. I don't really concentrate on how much space is left or whatever (because I'm a rice eater) but I don't hoard on food like I used to.
Sehri is a perfect time for breakfast in which you can eat your fill (since your afraid of the hunger monster that comes later in the story) and it would be cool if we woke up forcefully at the perfect pre-dawn hour to eat for the rest of our lives. It would also be good to drink 8 glasses of water a day. Hah!
