Towards a Ramzaan Sunset

This is an A+ material. Excellent life like imagery. I think you are master of imagery, in fact; I was sold after reading the first two of your articles.

Speaking of approaching sunsets,

a warm 50th ``Happy Birthday`` greeting to Pakistan`s Cricket great

and TI politician Imran Khan Niazi.

Imran has hit his latest half century. Details at:

Its only 9:45 AM and you already got me hungry. I hope you enjoy your iftari since mine happens everyday on the freeways in a traffic nightmare. All I can think are the aftaris that we use to have in Lahore. My mom`s running around in the kitchen and nokerani following her. We would sit in a corner and see what is being made and what should be the prime target after the ceremonial khajoor. The anticipation would rise as the time passes by and the smell of pakora`s, samosa`s and all kind of chaats. I get cut off by another maniac and my thoughts return to present life. I must take the next exit if I`m going to break my fast on time. Once more its a quick stop at McDonald. Boring and tasteless food which reminds me of the ``joota`` that the ``mochi`` down the street had on the sidewalk. Wondering which might taste better.

Good, clear writing. There is a little disjoint between the the wagon wride and the start of the classes. Liked the exchange between the conductors, and the rickshaw entering the world of the Golden Arches.
