Ramzan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, during which Muslims do not consume food or water from dawn till dusk. They start their day with Sehri, a pre-dawn meal, and end it with Iftar, a lavish evening meal.
Babu shares Iftar with his Muslim friends in his tiny toy shop tucked away in Urdu Bazaar area. Babu was encouraged to start Ramadan fasting by his father, who too used to follow the practice.
