Ramadan Woes...

Ramadan comes and goes every year so what special about it this year? Well Im not HOME! :(... you see, at home, all the hardships of Ramadan were balanced out by the hope (and its fulfillment) of good food at Iftar or even for Sehri...
Damn its hard to keep from going insane when the only thing you eat at sehri is maybe a bowl of cornflakes or an egg and then ahve to hear your stomach growl for the rest of the day :(...when i was young, I was told repeatedly by my dad that I will regret not liking my moms food (on rare days) when Im living alone in a hostel and I used to always scoff it off at tht time...i realize the truth in that statement now..what i wudnt give to eat something worthwhile right now (well not right now since im fasting but you get my drift)....
I guess one doesnt realize how much Moms work to make sure everybody is comfortable at home until they themselves are away from such comforts...
Also when your devoid of any entertainment,like i am here in w'laf... munching on something provides some kind of timepass....in a not so wierd way :)... you see most of the time ppl eat because thay can and not because they want to...and when that gets taken away, every minute seems much longer!...But I guess thats what this month is about, patience...
On a separate note weather is getting colder by the minute...which makes it harder to muster up the will to get up in the morning for a early morning boring class of optics or probability and statistics (depending on the day of the week)..so as a result I skip these classes and feel more lazy as time wears on...bah..its a vicious cycle...when i was in AUS i used to pity the few ppl who used to skip classes regularly and more often then not these ppl were from out of town living in the campus dorms..i can now see how belonging to that category makes one lazier than normal!
I wish the trees would just give up and start shedding their leaves already, it would make one hell of a photo-opportunity....they are getting there but very slowly...
A few lines from "In aankhon ki masti" from Umrao Jaan:
Is shamme faroza ko
aandhi se darate ho
Is shamme faroza ko
aandhi se darate ho
Is shamme faroza ke
parwane hazaaron hai
Dont ask why but that is just good...I guess its better heard than read...
