Why do we celebrate Karvachauth?

Happy Karvachauth people !!

So its that time of the year again when women fast for the long lives of their husbands / fiancees. Even unmarried women fast in anticipation and for their would be husbands, who are still unknown. Well after around 8 years, I broke that ritual and didnt fast today. Just didnt feel like as I dont think anyones worth it till he actually arrives.

This story actually inspired me to keep away from fasting. So read on…

Ek samay ki baat hai Lakshmiji ka wahan ‘ULLU’ unse rooth gaya aur bola ‘Apki sab puja karte hai, mujhse koi nahi puchta’. Lakshmiji boli ‘Ab se har saal meri puja se 11 din pehle tumhari puja hogi. Uss din sirf ULLU puje jayenge ….

Tab se Diwali ke 11 Din pehle KARVACHAUTH keh kar manaya jata hai.

Jag ja ri gudiya from Omkara

Imagine having this song as a wake up call…

If you have heard this song you would know what it is. I have always fantasized of someone singing this song to me while waking me up. But since that seems like a distant reality, I have my cell sing this to me to wake me up.

This is my alarm ring now, and somehow it manages to bring a smile on my face every morning when I wake up to this beautiful piece.

Jo chahe le lo dashrath ka vaada
naino se kholo ji raina
o ri rani gudiya jag ja
ari jag ja, moyi jag ja….

It blows like a balloon

My legs are so swollen right now that I poked my finger to it and it left a mark as though there was a hole in it :D

I was so keen to click a pic of it and post it here, but then I realised my feet werent pedicured enough :-P

So as of now I just leave it for you to imagine what it might look like. I am blessed with such feet thanks to my genes. I exert myself and end up with feet that are blown like a balloon.
