Quran was revealed in the month of #Ramadan. Rana Safvi takes out this over 300-year old Quran every Ramadan to read it. Interesting thing about this Quran is that it mentions letters and word count for each Surah. This copy has been in her family for many generations.

#Ramadan has been a quite start in #bombay this year, with the city having come to a virtual standstill for the second day in a row, due to incessant #rainfall. The city has received almost 350mm of #rain in 30hours. Husain seen in the picture, runs a shop of curios near #muttonstreet sits and broods over another business day lost. #dailylife #people #india #indiapictures Photo @lookdoyousee
