used to think what kinda custom it is..
wondered why should only woman should do that..
was determined that i will never do this..
after all it is not a part of "pahari" custom..
told everyone around me that i will not be the part of the fasting tribe..
but on the eve of Karva-chauth,this was what i was doing,
and
lo and behold,i was part of the 'fasting' bandwagon.
