We know that the title probably got you startled and made you go like ‘Who hates Ramadan?!’, but don’t worry. We all love the holy month that gathers us with our beloved ones and makes us feel the warm vibes all around. The hatred part here has to do more with thoseย Ramadan-ized incidents that only take place duringย this month and seem to make our seyam more tough and give us a lot of ‘alahoma eni sayem’ moments!
1.The Lack of Sleep
You’re probably reading this article while you’re half asleep. The tight schedule of having to do Sohour at 3 am then wake up at 7 to go to work is turningย us all intoย zombies.
2. Family Comments at Gatherings
we know how kind Tante Lolaย is and how funny Uncle Anwar is, but it’s not funny to hear ‘sayem wala zay kol sana’ or ‘hanfra7 beki emta’ every time we gather forย a Ramadan Iftar. And yes, we all gain weight duringย Ramadan,ย ATAYEF!
3. Driving…Maybe it Shouldn’t be Called that!
People are fasting but that doesn’t give them theย excuse to kill us, because they can’t keep their eyes on the road. People will be hitting you with their cars and swerving towards you all of a sudden before giving you the ‘ana sayem’ look.
4. Crowded Dessert Shops
People always rush towards those stores a few hours before Iftar. It becomes more likeย a battleย for that one last Konafa platter. The task of buying dessert is a heavy task that no one wants to undertake; it’s torture forย our wallets too.
5. Long Ads Between Series
we’re okay with ads, we actually love them. The thing here is, it’s kind of turning into watching series between ads and not vice versa! We sometimes go blank as we try to remember which show we were actually watching. We know, cash wins!
6.The Lastย Hour Before Iftar
That lastย hour is the slowest of them all. You keep sitting by the clock waiting for the timeย to pass. If you try to do something distracting, you’ll find that it only took you a minute to finish. The Hunger Games are real everyone!
We may frankly hate these six things about Ramadan, but let’s give it a second thought. The delicious food, the family presence and decorative street lights; don’t theyย just make you fall in love with this festive season all over again? The truth is Ramadan is full of wonderful values to appreciate, so no matter how tough it gets, we just love those Nutella Atayef!
