“find a shopkeeper red handed”

you are more than right, but there are also those families who have filled their freezers. Ms Ghazala Khan is very right and choose a good title for her post. I want to add this something here about the magistrate charged with inspection during Ramadan go to markets and fine the shopkeepers @ Rs 500 or Rs 1000, what shopkeeper does, he raises the prices after being fined to collect fine money before evening. So no result of price control committee. To control artificial price hike in Ramadan, find a shopkeeper read handed, lodge and FIR and send him to jail and release him after 30 days, during this period his shop should be sealed by authorities, I see how it is not curbed.

I don’t want to mention here but I am satisfied with my efforts from poor. In my native village there are couple of families, for whom we even gave our half of rooms to keep their young daughters there and providing as much as we can. I can loudly say that in my village, no poor is dying with hunger at least. We some how manages good for them. Not only me or my parents but all villagers who can afford.

If we can then why not others????

You both are doing great work. I must appreciate your sincere efforts. No doubt, the human greed tilts the food prices sky high, in addition to hoardings and price hike. It is very common that shopkeepers stocks the food and supplies in less quantity so demand could increase and once demands increases then you can not meet it… even you supply in full quantity. It takes time to come back to normal prices.

Same happens on Eid Ul Adha, Tomato prices goes up because that time no body bothers about fruit or fast food items but people requires tomatoes in large quantity.

Sir, we can stop this trend by relying only on normal food, as we takes in normal dinner. Even in Arab countries, they takes normal food plus Dates etc. Don’t know where we are going and what we want to achieve by eating so much.

Dear fellows, you are impressive by raising voice for right practices but majority don’t want to follow. They can abuse Government and agencies but won’t think to participate in same by decreasing their desires in Ramadan.

Allah bless us and guide us on right track.

Well, no wonder liposuction surgeries procedures go up after Ramadan…:)

No matter of what solution is offered, I have taken a direction one personally. I limit the number of Iftar dinners I go to. Now I have made it a practice to send food to the local masjids and homeless shelters. My children actually take the food themselves and serve the food to the needy. This is the little change I have done in my life and my children appreciate it greatly too. They are most excited now of where next to send the food than worried about what to eat each evening.

The lesson I share is not to boast of myself but to remind each other, that to make a change, it must start from oneself and family first.

But again, please eating more, so we the surgeons, and other medical specialists can be busy taking care of you folks later. Sooner or later, all the eating will catch up with you.

Oh, yeah, the ‘bigger bellies’ - Allah is so omiscient and knew what we would do to ourselves, that is why made our tummies with such rugged and elastic muscles that keeps on stretching with our habits, otherwise you doctors would have had every year this season of emergencies with ruptured bellies to stitch up.
