If you thought Mystique only existed in the Marvel Universe, you might want to double-check your facts because now that the month of Ramadan is here, you’re about to witness people shape-shift into a completely different version of themselves. People who celebrate the 20th of April everyday of the year will now become preachers of Islam, followers of bold fashion will take a sharp turn into ‘Modest Fashion Alley’ while, Laila and Majhnu will be separated by The Berlin Wall.
Yes, you heard it right, couples are torn apart during the month of Ramadan (at least up till dusk). In order to celebrate the true essence of the holy month of Ramadan, couples are seen to go to extreme extents. Here’s to the long list of struggles of every couple during the month of Ramadan.
1. The Great Divide
Couples who are rather seen to be glued to each other for the past 11 months of the year now sit, stand and walk such that the Pacific Ocean is flowing in between them. Their peculiar mannerism will leave you wondering if they’ve shifted gears from being ‘Couple Goals’ to being ‘Just Friends’.
2. Out of Sight, Out of Mind
Refraining themselves from letting their thoughts wander off to La La Land proves to be a mammoth task. I mean, how do you save your thoughts from molding into beautiful scenarios especially if your one true love is the nucleus of your imagination?
3. Don’t H-angry Me
It has been statistically proven that Muslim couples tend to get into more fights in the month of Ramadan than any other month. But why? The answer’s clear and simple, because food is the love of their lives and without a pinch of food since dawn, their inner monster creeps from within and causes complete havoc.
4.Mind What You Speak
Mushy and cheesy conversations are replaced with religious discussions. Life after death, intricate laws of fasting, abiding by the laws of Islam and refraining oneself from Zina and sins becomes the centre of the conversation. Funny how times change.
