The special month of Ramadhan

Ramadhan is when the time seems terribly short. Although the day starts earlier than usual because of the morning meal (5 am for me), after that, its one rush after another. Have the morning bath, put on the office attire, say the morning prayer and then off to work by 6.30 am.
After work, its rushing home time. Late by a few minutes and you'll be caught in a massive traffic jam. Don't know why but the roads seem to be jam packed everwhere. On reaching home, usually about 6pm for me, there's not much time left before the breaking of fast. Straight away after that, its the maghrib prayers and almost immediately after, off to the mosque for Isya and Tarawih. By the time everything is over, its almost 10.30 pm.
That's the only time I have for some relaxation before going to bed, sleep and build up the energy to start yet another day, Insha Allah.
Nevertheless, Ramadhan is different. It has an effect on you like no other month can. That's why its special.
