Karva Chauth Blues!
It is Karva Chauth tomorrow and I see people all around shopping, applying hennas on hands and visiting beauty saloons and then it strikes me that I will never happen to be celebrating this beautiful tradition! Sigh! All my dreams since childhood gets shattered! I hate my boyfriend at such times! (obviously who is not a Punjabi!) Didn't half of the girls in their teens want to get married to a Punjabi? Well I did for their grand weddings and the churas! Love them! Oh ya for all those who don't know, The Karva Chauth is an old tradition followed mostly in northern parts of India. The married women fast the whole day without food and water until they see the moon and pray for their husbands long life. Sweet thing no? But I see this fasting becoming a fad now. See around and you'll find all girlfriends fasting for their boyfriends/ crushes. And thanks to our very own YRF and the idiot box we have our husbands under pressure to fast for their wives just like SRK did! ...
