After the sweet, succulent snack, I was satisfied for the time being. I participated in the evening prayer, or Salat-ul Maghrib, which is the fourth of five prayers performed daily by Muslims.

Then I performed an additional night worship especially for Ramadan called tarawih, after which I could look forward to a wholesome and proper meal. In the streets the Muslims were in uplifted spirits, and it seemed like together as a community, they were joyful. Later on came the much appreciated third meal of the day, which was an occasion for family and friends to get together. I relished in the classic foods of Afghanistan: kebabs, manto (meat wrapped in pasta), kabuli palaw (rice with lentils, raisins, carrots, and lamb), and bolani (flat bread filled with vegetables).
