It is indeed astonishing that we have, even today, such superstitious beliefs. A lady fasting through out the day in the belief that it would give her husband a longer life is both amazing and stupid. Factually, the fasting ladies are allowed to eat expensive dry fruits through out the day and receive presents. What sheer hypocracy!!

How is it possible that not eating anything or only eating dry fruits can increase the life of anybody ? Perhaps this occasion is just an excuse to give rest to digestion and also receive presents !

Sikhi,a simple religion based on truth and logic, decries such superstitions.
