This Girl Spoke Up Against The Man Harassing Her On A Public Bus

I SPOKE UP! YES! I FINALLY DID! I have been traveling on public buses since the past six or seven years now, every since I was a teenager. And all these years I had been a victim of sexual harassment. Inspite of being confident in many aspects of life, I badly failed in speaking up against those who harassed me. I always stayed quiet. Thought it was best to ignore. And then used to curse myself for staying silent. But today I finally got the courage to speak up The man sitting behind me was trying to bring his hand from the side of the back seat to touch me.

The Food of Ramadan: When and What to Eat

Ramadan (in Arabic: رمضان,  Ramadān ) is the ninth month in the Islamic calendar. During the whole month, observers of Islam fast from sunrise to sunset. During the fast, no food or drink is consumed, and thoughts must be kept pure. Followers of Islam believe that fasting teaches patience, modesty, and spirituality. Meals are served before sunrise, called  suhoor,  and after sunset, called  iftar,  and eaten with family or with the local community. Who Fasts and Who Doesn't The fast is strictly observed, even in higher latitudes, by all adult Muslims. The elderly, sick, and mentally ill are exempt from the fasting.
