This is so useful, Nisha, and I appreciate the tone--thank you! Only recently, studying in a comparative religions class, did I really think about what it means to fast for days. My father used to do a day here and there, as a Christian, and he suffered generally form terrible migraines which would increase. But Ramadan is an amazing act of annual renewal, and this is just so good--thank you for sharing! Peace---
