Pricey vegetables bring tough time

We agree that the most recent difficult time for the common people was brought on by more expensive vegetables, which made them reflect on what our beloved everyday precious life now entails. The surprising circumstance has become a difficult period to endure. Due to several circumstances, vegetable prices are currently high in several places, including Kanpur.  Various common vegetables are now less available and more expensive because of supply chain disruptions, particularly those caused by the rainy climate.

Of course, it is surely not the first time they have been devoting themselves to the prayers. They liked it; perhaps it’s a sign of fear of the Almighty taking himself more seriously.

Meanwhile, it has been lately reported that Iceland, Sweden, and Norway will have the longest fasting hours, with some places fasting for up to 20 hours and 30 minutes.
