Ramadan Live from Cairo - Chinese!!

I won't bother my blog with news about my where abouts for the past few days as i don't see any significance in mentioning my final tahyees trip before Ramadan...It was the craziest and there's no bragging about it...a total mess!

Yesterday I returned back to Maadi - my home territory - So excited about Ramadan and all the promises I made myself to Enjoy the Breezes of faith it brings and to practice more from everything possible that could make me feel closer to Allah, especially that this year

I can actually feel Ramadan...last year it didn't happen for me.

I was driving by when I saw this:

Chinese lanterns with Arabic Ramadan greetings hanging and decorating two long streets!

I thought: where's fanoos Ramadan?!

besara7a et2amast!

I thought WT...anything is that...I mean Chinese Ramadan Lanterns...Those Chinese people didn't leave anything for us...and I thought they were smart to knock every door around the globe to make an extra buck!

Well, good for them, I guess...but it really looked weired!!

What's wrong with the brass good old Ramadan Egyptian Lantern...it has been IT for ages now.

Today I bought those Ramadan stuff...you know the Nuts, Amareldeen and dates and all those yummy stuff.

I also had the Ramadan talk with my kids...

Received very nice text messages...sent to everyone on my list

Well, My feelings of Ramadan are overwhelming this year...

I could use the boost of faith...I could use the changed daily routine...I could definitely use the scheduled life around fotour and So7our times.

I wish you a blessed Holy month filled with faith, insight and forgiveness.

Kol Ramadan wento taybeen awi awi awi :)
