Ramadan has a different feel. It makes you want to help people, give your best in whatever you are doing. You see everyone around trying to do something extra and earn as many rewards. As soon as Ramadan starts, you will find people distributing Aftaris to the labourers working around, to the street children, or sending it out to the relatives. i love the vibe!

This was a very tough ramadan for those fasting; stretched over 16 hours, in this sweltering heat the fasts surely tested our bodies and soul . This in a way also increased the joy manifold of opening the fast. You couldn’t wait to have that one glass of water and once you drank it , it would fill you with so much satisfaction and feeling of gratitude. Our tables were blessed with food of all kinds from Pakroas to Dahi Bhalae to Fruit Chaat and for the Cheflings some experimental new Ramadan Dishes too.  The end result of Aftari or Sehri surely was the food coma stage for almost everyone!

We, like all of you, were busy putting together Aftar tables for our loved ones but we wanted to do some more this Ramadan with the Chefling community and all the foodies online.  #TweetAMeal campaign by Telenor Pakistan was a perfect match for us to help our community earn more rewards this Ramadan.

It was a simple idea- all one had to do to participate in this campaign was to Tweet a picture of your Aftari or Sehri meal using hashtag #TweetAMeal. For every tweet, Telenor Pakistan donated a meal to the needy. The campaign ran through whole month of Ramadan and generated amazing response on Twitter with Pakistanis contributing from across the world. This campaign helped thousands of people who are not fortunate enough to have a meal on their table every day.  Read Foundation was the donation partner for this campaign- a renowned organisation running over 324 schools in Pakistan.

Thank you to the amazing Cheflings for joining us and helping us do our part in this activity.  What i loved the most is the enthusiasm with which all of you participated and everyone had a unique message to give.  We will soon be announcing our winner who would get a mug filled with chocolates in appreciation of your efforts.
