Karwa Chowth - Well this festival is celebrated primarily in the northern part of India. It is said to be a festival/ ritual celebrated by women for the looong life of their partners. Now please dont ask me why i mentioned partners and not husbands!! Also.. I guess going forward this "women" would be replaced by "person" (God only knows if its already replaced.. i think I am a bit pichde jamane ki!!)
Haan.. so coming back to the topic. This is done by being not eating or drinking even a sip of water the entire day. You are supposed to eat only after the moon rises and you do pooja. Most of the time the moon never rises before 9 pm, and if it does, clouds would conspire against you (as in Blr today)!!
Can anyone answer these simple lil questions for me.. Please...(These are the effects of an empty stomach you see!!):
- why do ONLY women have to do this TYAG? Dont you think even women deserve a longer life?
- how can husband have the heart to eat while the wife is hungry throughout the day...that too for him
- And the third and the most important question.. Assuming both husband and wife have same life span.. and now after the woman does this vrat for 40 years continously, and assuming the long life wala funda holds good.. the husband will live for another 40 EXTRA years (assuming each year of vrat equals to one year increase in the life) after the wife dies... and obviously he will tend to get married (Itni lambi zindagi bina aurat k kaise kategi wala crap)...In such a situation does this mean that a wife is doing this vrat for the benefir of her "sautan"!!!
I may sound non-sense but i really cant help it!!!

FASTING FOR LONG LASTING... LIFE...
The science behind KC...
1. Life expectancy of women, is higher than men. We would anyway live long. Its the man who needs prayers.
2. Imposed dieting works more than stringent work outs. One day of diet for which women can blame their counterparts, rather than hormones, genes, temptations and like.
3. Peer pressure. Women who fast during KC are perceived to love their husbands more than ones who dont ( Umm, they may be daggers drawn during n (- ) KC days.. who knows !! ) But for the KC day, this perception shall prevail.
4. Men!! Ok.. Quote Unquote .. VEER ZARA.. Ek aurat aur ek mard ki mohabbat mein zameen asmaan ka antar hota hai. Aurat apna sab kuch luta kar mohabbat karti hai. Ek mard se is baat ki ummeed nahi ki ja sakti... So KC only for the fairer sex.
5. One day in 365, when you can threaten your husband to reach home in time ( Before the moon rise ).. and your hubby will not make u feel guilty about it. One day in 365, you can have a chance to interchage this dialogue - Who am I doing all this for? with your husband
6. Party. Opportunity to wear the wedding dress again. Look good. Eat great food. and all those women who arent getting to do all this, even at the end of the day.. Proven well.. U love ur husbands even more.. The more the torture, the more the love you see.. So win win!!
7. Impress your man. Only two things can get u sympathy from men.. One is you on death bed, and other is you empty stomach.. Eating rates first in the list of men.. ( chalo, third - oops, u wanna know the first two.. lemme tell u , that ssecond one is work.. and first one.. ummphhh ... ) So, if u can stay 20 hours without eating for a man..U did a lot for him... U earn good points...
