10 things you hate about ramadan [11:34m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (334)

to follow up with yesterday’s post, Musaed and i decided to elaborate more in the topic. so listen up to our show this week and let us know what you think.

Also we would like to announce that we will hosting the next 3 episodes differently where we will be calling our students in the states to touch base and see how they are doing this is being preparing in collaboration with NUKS

P.S. the intro music can be found in the extras page

OK, this is not necessary my view but its collection of arguments we collect from people who do not have lots of love for Ramadan, its interesting to try to respond to these arguments simply because we always hear about how great Ramadan is, and the good things that Ramadan brings, so lets look at the other side of the coin for a change, so take a deep breath and here we go:

1) food craze

as if we don’t eat for a whole year and this is our last shot, every one is just stuffing there faces all night long.

2) its crowded every where

God help you if you want to go to buy anything from any where all the co ops, shops are just full with people, you can hardly walk or breath for that matter.

3) Road Rage

traffic is a mess, its traffic jam every where all the time. what use to take 20 minute, now takes 50 minute of your time

4) slow people

people drive and walk slowly, its like time stops, am i the only one with things to do here!

5) no energy

you just ran out of gas quickly its hard to work, concentrate, read, the only thing left it to vegetate in front of the TV

6) Bad Weather

don’t get me started

7) shortest days ever

can hardly do anything in those few hours left of the day, you start doing one thing and its 2 AM already!

eating late

it really sucks going to bad with full belly.

9) Married people

God help you

10) single people

God help you too

Status: Pre-release

so the first question that pops up here is that why do we need another browser! isn’t firefox solving the problems we had with IE? well Google thinks not! so the Chrome is their resolution for for all our browsing NEW needs.

it seems like the internet browser market is heating up where Microsoft is releasing their 8th version of the browser which its previous release didn’t do so well competing with Firefox 3.

so we will leave this war to time to settle this war.
