"as if Ramazan arrived by accident," can’t put it more right.

Ramadan is not about filling one’s fridge and stomach up to brim. Its about letting go worldly affairs and indulge more in religious activities. Unfortunately, we Pakistanis are used of fire-fighting in every aspect of life. We help shopkeepers raise prices by last-minute shopping spree. I have seen people fighting over a bunch of bananas (literally) as it is end of world and fast can’t be opened without a banana :)

We did our grocery and kitchen shopping a week back. In fact, our Eid shopping is 90% done.

@seskey, totally agree with ur openion bro, but last minute shopping is kind a tradition, it has its own thrill. most people enjoy it and my personal experience is, this is one of the things u miss a lot when u r away from home.

as if Ramazan arrived by accident,

even people in new orleans are preparing well ahead of Gustav,

why one can’t use some common sense to prepare a BIT ahead of time. Unless to be waited for pay cheque to land in the account before heading for Shopping.

This year Tailor masters will be giving TOUGH time to ladies & gents equally. So get ready now or be ready to put on a JEANS for EID ke Namaz.
