Today is Karva Chouth. I saw a large group of super-duper-dressed ladies coming out of the bungalow next to our Hyderabad office ( it belongs to one big industrialist manufacturing a particular brand of metal locks).
These ladies have observed it very faithfully for their husbands.. what about those who are not observing, like the South Indian ladies? If that does not apply to south Indian ladies, how will it apply to not-south-Indian ladies? What about the ones observed by SI ladies and not by the not-SI-ladies? confusing???
Extend it further - what about those who are not Indians and who do not follow such tradition. In that case, are the stories behind such vraths, are they real or created ones to keep the ladies busy? How relevant are they today? I mean, when a non-SI marries a NI man and vice versa? Will she observe or not?
