It's heartening to see leaders across the spectrum extending greetings. The Maulana's appeal for offering prayers inside mosques is also very sensible, considering traffic and public space. Ramadan Mubarak to all!

Good wishes are always welcome. However, I hope these sentiments translate into tangible actions and a consistent atmosphere of harmony for all communities throughout the year, not just during festivals.

Ramadan Mubarak! My office colleagues are observing Roza, and we've adjusted our lunch meeting timings out of respect. This is the real spirit of India – small adjustments for each other's faith. 🌙

May this holy month bring peace and good health to all. The pre-dawn Sehri and evening Iftar times are such a unique part of our city's rhythm during Ramadan. The message of togetherness is beautiful.
