Q: What is dua  for istikharah? And After performing istikharah, is there a certain number of days one should wait before making his final decision?

Q: I live in one region and work at another. Most of the time it happens, that the first day of Ramadhan/Eid in both regions differs. Like, the region of my home has the first day of Ramadhan and Eid one day before the region of my work. I am always at my work region at the start of Ramadhan and for Eid I always go to my home region. By doing so I usually end up having one day less of Ramadhan (one less roza) 28 Days of Ramadhan instead of 29.

Please advise how should I proceed with this. Should I start Ramadhan with my home region even while I'm in my work region although all the other people are not having Ramadhan there? Or Should I fulfill that one day of Ramadhan after the Eid in my home region?
