Today was hectic. Running around doing errands, buying supplies and warm clothing. Daylight saving time ended today, the clock went back, we gained an hour. So I had 25 hours to do everything.
Tonight is Lailut-Qadr, the night of power when the Quran was recited to the Prophet. It is the night when everything remains serene, and is an auspicious night for all endeavors. Although in Detroit urban folklore, it is called, the Devil's night. Maybe the asinine bombers who hit Dehli were inspired by this. They did much damage to earthquake relief efforts and Pakistan and India peace process. Not to mention the 55 people who died a few days before Diwali and Eid.
On a personal note, it is also my birthday. So many things going my way. Already collected well over a thousand dollar from well wisher and friends for distribution. Leaving tomorrow at midnight, on Halloween.
