Can You Hear My Tummy Rumbling Mummy?
My perspective of the fasting month changes as I get older, and how yours should, too, if you're a Muslim.

Suppose you're a Muslim. In that case, you should be slowly getting used to:
- The feeling of hunger pangs,
- Slight dehydration,
- Heightened sense of smell,
- Wild imagination that makes puffy white clouds look like KFC chicken wings;
- And waking up for your pre-dawn meal way earlier than those birds motivational mentors keep referring to when they give motivational speeches.
(Even the worms are still asleep.)
If you're a non-muslim, you will notice that your Muslim friends seem to be on a stringent diet regime. In fact, stricter than a desperate fiance on a Keto Diet.
And, what surprises you the most is when that devilish and carefree friend of yours, who likes to party every Friday night, stopped going to parties and started going to the Mosque instead.
No. It is not the end of the world — It is the beginning of the fasting month, also known as Ramadhan, which is pronounced correctly with Tajwid as "Raw-maa-dhawn."
