I remember the times when getting an Indian visa from Bangladesh was not problem at all.But now days getting an Visa for India which just next door is sometimes more difficult than other far way countries.Despite the SAARC meetings and will for further  co-operation among the SAARC countries.I guess I don't understand the aim of SAARC .But I think there should be no-visa requirement for SAARC countries' citzens traveling within SAARC countries.But this is upto the political elite.

Bengali Iftar

Saudi Iftar

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calender.This the month when the Holy Quran was revealed.It is a holy month where muslims are supposed to show self-restraint.In this month muslims fast from dawn to dusk.During this fast no drinking and eating is allowed.Though the main objective is to give an opportunity for muslims to implement restraint in all aspects of life including health.But it seems many muslims cant wait for iftar!In the end,muslims get fatter while objective was opposite!
The above picture shows a typical iftar in Saudi Arabia.Iftar is the meal taken after breaking the fast and sehri is the meal taken just before dawn before beginning the fast.

Lailatur Qadr is known as the night of power.
“And what will explain Lailatul Qadar to you? Lailatul Qadar is better than a thousand months.”
------------Holy Quran.
The Quran says this night is better than 1000 months in reference to the prayer of a youth of Bani Israel.(Jews) called Shamoon(Hazrat Shamoon).He did worship(ibadat) for 83 yrs.
This night was given to the Ummah(community) of Prophet Muhammd(Peace be upon him).ie Muslims.
 If a Muslim prayed or did any kind of worship on this night.it would be as if she/he did worship of 1000 months!



After a month of fasting Muslims look forward to Eid,the biggest Holiday in the Muslim world.
In Bangladesh,people look forward to buying new clothes in Eid.Women look for exclusive Salwar Kameez.
And men for Punjabi and Pyjama.Not to be confused with Punjabis from Pakistan:)

Some the places residents of Dhaka visit to buy their Eid apparels:

• Aarong
• Trendz
• KayKraft                                                                              Well this is glimpse of Ramadan in the Muslim world.Feel free to add comments.
