Many years after having survived the brutal pandemic and lockdown, and going without meeting friends and family, this year cab driver Dipul Miah is going to meet his friends during Ramadan iftars while fasting and working. Speaking to us, Dipul said that he is trying to adapt to the working hours while fasting (keeping Roza). “Usually, I would work in the evening but now I probably work more in the daytime and go home towards sunset,” he told Asian Voice.
He chuckled and said that one does have hunger pangs but when you just have a little bit - you're full up. “We do know that from experience but we still kind of thing we're gonna eat so much. Sometimes we make Ramadan about eating when it should be about other issues really.”
“Ramadan is without water sustain abstaining from drinking, not just bad habits other bad habits need to eradicate that as well,” he added.
Dipul also asserted that charity (an integral part of Ramadan) must happen all year round year. He said, “We just make sure the less fortunate, especially in the third world country have substance to actually feed themselves.”
