My First Karva Chauth

When ever I think of Karva Chauth I remember the movie DDLJ. Although this festival has been shown in a number of hindi films I always think of DDLJ cause at one point I was literally in love with Shah Rukh Khan. Still his fan. Anyways I feel Karva Chauth is one of the most romantic festivals. It was on the 7th of October this year. I woke up at 4 am, got ready and had a proper meal at 5 am. Then I went back to sleep. Basically you just dress up like a bride, put mehendi on your hands and dont do any other work all day!! And if you take naps during the day you dont feel that hungry or exhausted. Also if your hubby is on ship he can tell you the exact time of moon rise in your city. My hubby was so worried how I will survive without food for an entire day. Cause usually I am always hungry. So he called a number of times from ship that day, kept asking how I am and he said moon rise should be by 8 pm. He was really accurate. So my mom-in-law and I did the evening pooja and broke our fast at 8 pm. All in all I realised its not that difficult to fast if you eat well in the morning.
