Days of Ramadhan

Usually my mother would wake me up for the morning 'sahur'. She had woken up much earlier to prepare for the food. Somehow she would just know what to put on the table. No matter that the time was, be it four or five in the morning, the food would still look inviting.
I started to observe the fast when I was about 7 years old. In fact I started earlier but only for half the day. Later it was for 3/4 day and soon, it was full day. By that time, fasting was already a routine.
Night time would be spent going to the mosque for the Isha and Tarawih prayer. The prayers would last till about 10pm after which we would have the 'more'. This would be food sponsored by someone or an organisation. Sometimes it was lavish i.e. 'nasi minyak' but sometimes it would be just bread and 'teh tarik'. This would depend on who was sponsoring for the night. When the mosque remained crowded even after the tarawih prayers, then we know it's 'nasi minyak' night.
After the food, we would have Tadarus, that is reading the Quran in small groups.
Usually by the time we reached home, it would be almost midnight.
Tired we may be but it was fun.
