Ramadan

Ramadan started today in Indonesia. Su, the kids, and I were up at 3:30 to eat. I went back to sleep at 4, but did not have much luck in actually sleeping. I'm not one of those people who can go back to sleep easily so the period when Ramadan intersects with work is a bit of a stretch in terms of being tired - the actually fasting is pretty simple, especially if you think about why you are fasting and what it is supposed to represent.

I've never fasted, but my grandma is Jain and fasts quite regularly. She insists on doing it even though it would be better for her not to in her old age.
