I love my country regardless of how many bad incidents keep happening on an
hourly basis. India is so rich in culture and heritage that every 20kms you can
see something new within the inhabitants. Today is one of the most auspicious
occasions celebrated in most of the Northern region of India, Karvachauth. You
can say that, it's a proof of a woman being happily married to her eternal
love, her husband. This is a rigorous fast where the women don't eat or drink
for the whole day till she sees the moon in the night. The moon is a reflection
of her husband's face and that's how the fast is said to be completed. In fact,
while keeping fast, they still keep on doing their daily activities, and it
still is a mystery to me that how can she do all the routine activities and not
have a single drop of water. I guess, this is no logic, but a commitment of
love and care of her love. Also, there are some men as well who keeps fast showing
their love for wives.
Today, when I woke up in the morning, the 1st thing I did was to go to my mother, and see her mehndi. It looked beautiful. She is a perfect example, as per me, of an ideal lady who is a perfect mother, wife, daughter, etc. When I was ready to go to the office, I wished her, happy karvachauth, and told her to be happy and healthy and I'm definitely sure that I'm going to see a beautifully dressed up woman in an elegant saree in the evening.
On my way, my eyes caught dozens of ladies, dressed up in their best traditional attire, and lots of reds and pinks and greens and yellows, etc. were visible all around me with henna drawn in their hands making the scene so pleasant to my eyes. Some of them, the newly-weds, were looking like princesses and had their full hands covered in mehndi, It wouldn't be wrong to make a guess that, yesterday they might have spent so many hours in front of the mehndi designer. Some of them, in their 30's-40's were not so lavishly dressed, but yes, a nice expression on their faces showed their happiness for it. Not only them, but the aged ladies, take an example of my grandma, they always take care to follow and uphold an age-old ritual and sees if there's nothing being missed to perform the Puja.
Likewise, India celebrates all the 100s of festivals with the same excitement and vigor and that's what makes the country one of the most loved nations of the world.
