But as the saying goes to ‘err is human;’ do it, have a good laugh then move on.  Here are 10 familiar awkward Ramadan moments.

Cussing

Losing the sheer comfort of dropping an F-bomb in every sentence; maybe say ‘khejur’ with an extra emphasis instead?

Bad breath

Talking to someone and observing their eyes squint, nose cringe and seeing them die a little, from getting a whiff of your roza breath.

Not fasting

You miss out on six days of fasting and people start eye-balling you. “There’s a crime scene in my pants; go figure.”

Food everywhere

“‘Tis the season to be spiritual, peaceful, happy; but first, let me unsubscribe from Buzzfeed Tasty.” But then your gluttonous friend starts talking about food; “Why you do this?”

Hygiene

When you think brushing your teeth or taking a shower will result in water trickling down your throat, thus causing you to break your fast and enter the gates of hell.

Absent-minded

Nothing like helping mom prep the iftar while munching away on a piyaju …which you were supposed to have five minutes later. “OH. GOD. NO.”

Dressing

When your mom catches you sporting your favourite sleeveless kameez among people dressed up to their eyebrows. “Somebody gonna get a hurt real bad.”

Appetite

Promising to eat like a whale during iftar is the biggest joke, cause you end up eating like a termite and then hitting the hay. Sleep trumps everything, literally everything.

Weight

Weight loss programs are a dead end; it’s Ramadan and your mom cooks enough to feed an entire community. Feeling Flabulous, already?
