Dear
Colleagues,
I
depart later today for a holiday break and hope you are all set to celebrate a
wonderful Eid with family and friends.
The
holy month of Ramadhan is coming to an end and fasting, dedication to prayers
and spiritual learning have purified one’s minds, bodies and souls.
The
country family culture means that Eid can be a very busy time, travelling from
place to place and visiting families and many friends, all in a very short
timeframe. The excitement during social gatherings and extended travel
can lead to tiredness being masked as adrenaline that keeps our minds and body
alert. This means that when driving to visit family and friends, fatigue can
easily catch us out and we may not know this until unfortunately it is too
late!
