Between an Warning from an snatcher to Getaway is 10 sec gap, If you can stay in your senses and manage a calm 12th second he will yell abuse and 15th second he will be gone.

All those who waste the nights (especially last ashra) in markets and malls are really at loss. There is a strong trend going on since last few years of people doing their Eid shopping well before Ramadan. Pre-Ramadan sale (to clear up their shelves for Eid stock) at almost all outlets across the city has further facilitated this. Ramadan is not for shopping but for praying and repenting.

We should see some activity. No matter how high the inflation is, Ramzan will always be more active month when it comes to shopping and business though it does not mean that it'll be the same as say 2 years ago.
