there's one day tht's filled with so much joy..

that day is Naw-Ruz!!

every year on 21st of March, Baha'is frm all around the world celebrate Naw-Ruz (which means new day). also Persians celebrate it cuz its the 1st day of spring for em :)

this year i had a blast! we had many visitors staying over frm uk, cambodia, canada, n iran.. so it was really festive having them around during fasting and then for Naw-Ruz! i guess the more ppl there is, the more spirit of naw-ruz u feel n so everybody is all hyped up n happy!

this year i think we ate like NON-STOP frm mornin till nite... im amazed how much i CAN eat when i want to :)
started off @ a&W on Naw-Ruz eve... continued till the next day n day after! not to forget we played our share of CATAN whenever possible :)

A&W mania!

the Fast

to all observing the fasting month and also lent,

Happy Fasting!!!

Fasting is ". . . essentially a period of meditation and prayer, of spiritual recuperation, during which the believer must strive to make the necessary readjustments in his inner life, and to refresh and reinvigorate the spiritual forces latent in his soul. Its significance and purpose are, therefore, fundamentally spiritual in character. Fasting is symbolic, and a reminder of abstinence from selfish and carnal desires."
