There's something special about the combination of winter in Karachi and Ramzan. On an average day, we stuff ourselves with so much consumables that it would seem ridiculous to imagine any of us staying hungry and thirsty for a twelve hour period daily for a month. Almost everyone I know throws at least some of their bad habits aside during this month. One friend will be giving up his sheesha (he who has sheesha thrice a day on a good day) and his porn stash while another, an avid partygoer, will be attending all his taraavehs instead. Anything that makes you want to be a better person, even for a 12 hour period can only be a good thing, right?

Ramadan Mubarak, everyone!
