Ramadan Kareem/Karim!!

Well, not so kareem to me ....!
It is that time of the year when all the Muslims fast for 40 days ... hats off to them! In the business of getting ready for the school year to start, i hardly noticed that Ramadan has started (apart from yesterday when Kristen went to the shop and came back saying it was closed for iftar).
I left school late today, around 5 o'clock - half an hour before iftar (breaking of fast); i had an apple and i took two bites. I started walking home (i hardly ever walk, i usually take a taxi) ... well, as i was walking on the side of the road and there was a traffic jam, the drivers have noticed the apple i was holding in my hand... So, one man started shouting and cursing me for eating during the fast, another one shouted something, another one passed by saying "Haram!", and another one on whose face i could read anger apart from his voice....
That is when i decided that walking was not such a good idea and i got into a taxi!
