Saturday, March 21, 2015. As a child, I often quarreled with my brother. And when I complained to my father, he always said, "Maya, don't get annoyed over unimportant things. Think of your future!

Maya's corner: Ramadan makes no sense
http://mayas-corner.blogspot.com/2015/06/ramadan-makes-no-sense.html
Tuesday, June 23, 2015. Ramadan makes no sense. Now is the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, during which Muslims are required not to eat and even to drink water (! From sunrise to sunset.
