Once I was very proudly (foolishly) explaining to an Italian lady how we break our fast and what we eat. She laughed out loud and remarked "What is the concept of fasting when you eat so much at your breaking fast"
Hum chup rahay, manzoor the parda apna. Really what our dining table shows at the time of iftaar, is totally against what fast want us to act. Agar hum sirf subzi, phar aur khajoor per iktifaa karlain, tu tarawee main gasteric problem say mahfooz reh saktai hain.
