Ramadan at Al -Bidda Park -2024 -photos by Alma Wad

Almost full moon. A walk in the park a couple of days ago. The moon was shining very beautifully. It  was pleasant weather, and the crickets chirped cheerfully .

A lonely performer in the tent of light. The park's evening air was filled with the sound of crickets chirping, a lute's voice, and the voice of a solitary Arab singer.

Ramadan decorations in the park. Similar booths were scattered around. They  had some luxurious vibes.  However, everyone was welcome    to   relax   there .

It’s incredible what food does for the body. But it’s even more incredible what the lack of food does for humanity.

Beat the heat in Qatar

 These years when summer and Ramadan comes together fasting is really though . I dream of juicy fruits all day  and I finish my morning meals with a large portion of fresh fruit ! Water melon is my favourite one !

The top of the summer joys used to be buying and having watermelon in the second half of July during my childhood .

HUMOR DURING RAMADAN

One may think that there's no laugh during the fasting month here . But the truth is that the Arabic TV channels offer a wide selection of funny TV shows or plays just for this month . It reminds me our New Year's Eve TV shows .
The Qatar TV gives a funny serial made in Kuwait . One can learn a lot about the life of the Arabs nowadays .
The TV play was about marriage in the past and nowadays :
1. scene an oversized wife is having dinner alone - when her well -fed husband arrives it turns out that there's nothing left for him but a cup of tea " say Thanks God " the wife is yelling at her husband - who starts to dream about the " nice old days "
2. scene - the husband dream - he is coming home and a lovely wife is waiting for him offering a tray of delicious food . He is eating alone - it turns out the wife did not have dinner yet " You are my man - how could I eat before you had yourself enough "
-and the touched husband offers some food for his wife who is holding in one hand a flag shaped fan cooling her husband ( that was before the time of AC )

3 . scene of nowadays - the wife is in a boutique shouting at him - because the money she had got for Eid clothes shopping is not enough for her .Quite ashamed he goes to the bank to get more money

4.The wife is in bad mood and shouting at home without reason . The husband asks her to cool down .She gets more furious and wants to call the police - but then rather she calls her family . The husband is terrified " Oh no , all her tribe will come " .
She claims her husband beat her . All the family members came to threaten the husband included the Indian driver and maids and cooks . Nobody listens to him that he is innocent . Finally he is forced to buy a lots of jewels to his wife who " forgives him anyway " but moving home with their sons
5. scene - in the past the man has to go far to find job . The wife is very sad and every day is just talking about her husband while she is having coffee alone . When the husband arrives after two months- it turns out that for some reasons he could not bring any presents to anybody - but the wife is very happy just to see her much beloved husband and doe snot care about presents at all .

Did the life really has changed so much ?
