Happy Eid ul Fitr

The holy month of Ramadan this year coincided with my birthday. Hence the holy month had much significance for me. I decided that at the close of Ramadan that it was necessary for me to ponder about my life, what I had achieved thus far and what were my aspirations. It seemed fitting since the holy month is focused on the need for Muslims to purge themselves, to surrender all vices and become pure. It is the time for great introspection.
