The holy fasting month of Ramadan is upon us. The face of the pious fasting man or woman is a poignant reminder of the power of faith, the magnanimity of love, the rejuvenation of life, a new beginning and a season for retrospection and introspection. Ramadan is a time for spiritual reinvigoration. The minarets are towering above the city, which has taken on a new life of its own, sustained by the ambiance of the religious earnestness.
