i want a muffin!
Posted by anas on Aug 27, 2009 in London Diary | 6 commentsI am forced to leave the lab, earlier than usual, because I cannot see people around me enjoying delicious chocolate muffins and having a go at their favourite drinks. On leaving the department I had to pass the cafe and sniff the smell of freshly ground coffee. There is no other way out of thebuilding. Now as I stand on the stop, waiting for the bus, which is taking eternity to show up, my stomach is longing for some nutrition. Usually I wouldn’t have felt hungry at this hour and I am sure the feeling will subside as I reach home. The real reason is perhaps an excuse to avoid writing the dissertation. Also, the fact that humans love to do something when they are forced not to, has something to do with hunger. In any case, I’ve already left and will reach home in few minutes and crash hoping to do something during the night. But seriously, on any other day I’d have snatched that choc muffin from the guy’s hand, not only because I wanted it too but more so because of the horrible sound he was making in an attempt to chew it. Idiot.

aawww…:)
?
hang in there…do you get a chance to do iftari in some mosque? I don’t know of the situation in london but here in oxford, we have a like 3 mosques and all of them offer iftari..and its quite nice…
when do you have to submit your dissertation
all the best..
Haha … the joys of living among non-fasting people. Be strong!
@Ahmar: Yes all mosques offer nice Iftari in London as well, even the Islamic Society at the uni has a good Iftari plan. But I prefer to be at home, unless its something really urgent. Dissertation submission is 25th Sept, long time , I know
Thanks for the wishes
@Raza: This is really a new experience. I usually look twice at people who are eating, because first I have this quick thought about why the guy isn’t fasting. Then, ofcourse, in a split second the answer comes itself. Pehle kabhi aisa nai hua
ahan so u so called writters blockage is over….nice to see that.
Decided what u want to do when u have completed ur MS?????
Wasay rozay mein asal imtihan to aap jasoon ka hota ha…ppl who are living in a a non-muslim majority areas.
try to keep ur eyes low
Now you know why the sound of munching chips irritated me so much. This too, like everything else, will pass. Time flies anyway
lol waise during this ramadan, i have seen some people munching on chips during the fasting hours here as well so i dont think itd be too long wen we’d be facing pretty much the same problem too. waise good luck…fasting for 18 hours aint easy at all
