Karwa Chauth Post

Reading Chandni ’s post on KC and instead of leaving a long comment on her post, I wanted to write my own. I wanted to do KC after watching DDLJ, ohh the mehendi and the new saree and the drinking of the water by spouse and the looking at the chand. All very filmy drama but I wanted to do it. I have been married 11 years and let me count how many times I have fasted.

The 1st year, my mom said it was a bad year to start. Something to do with the stars or crap like that.Ohh I should do just in bullet point

1997 1st year
1998 Pregnant
1999 bad year
2000 fasted
2001 fasted
2002 Pregnant
2003 NK wasn’t in town
2004 Pregnant
2005 NK wasn’t in town
2006 Pregnant
2007 I was having 102 F fever
2008 NK was not in town

(Ohh do you notice the pattern, Nk is out of town and wham I get pregnant the following year.)

Fasting twice in 11 years is not good.The two times I fasted,NK came home and demanded that the moon is visible,he saw it on the way home and I break my fast at 7.30p/m,have dinner and don’t do natak. 

I have now decided that I am not going to fast anymore. My mum said I am insane and I cannot drop and pick fasting at will. The ladies here predict dire consequences because I fasted 2 years and didn’t the following years.

I liked doing it just for the heck of when I fasted the two times. The test to see whether I could go by without drinking water(food anyone can do but water) was something I wanted to challenge myself to. Now after pushing  out 4 of NK’s spawn kids, have decided that was sufficient enough.
