Yeh dil
maang(eh) more!
The small and big screens have done their bit to popularise the pativrata image of the bharatiya nari. This Karva Chauth, here're some favourite reel maang moments…
So, have you decided what to gift your lovely wife on Valentine's Day? Oh, and did you make reservations at that fancy restaurant for a candlelight dinner? And the moment she touches your feet, say the most romantic thing in the world. Like, "You are the best wife anybody can ever have".

Om is a favourite
All the jest
In the city, actor Johny Lever talks about family, fun and farce
Finally, the well-deserved sabbatical was taken and well availed. The
purpose was just so expected, to spend time with the family, travel with kids,
even do 'important' household jobs like drop and pick kids form the school and
go shopping with wife. As against any other man, Johny Lever liked, loved and
enjoyed every bit of his role as a homemaker in the last five years.
Clubbing on…Chauth
It’s women’s day out. Ladies clubs in the tricity come up with innovative ideas to keep the fasting womenfolk busy this Karva Chauth
It’s that day of the year again when we find shimmer and shine adorn every
woman, tinkle of a bangle echoing in every corner and bright hues making inroads
to almost every wardrobe. It’s Karva Chauth — a day when we see bright faces
and lit hearts rejoicing on an empty stomach.
Fast forward
Women making a beeline for mehendiwalas, men buying surprise gifts for their wives, Karva Chauth is sure charging up the atmosphere
While various festivals are losing their sheen in modern times, Karva Chauth
is one exception that continues to find flavour with Gen X. Despite long working
hours and tight schedules, women in Patiala believe in fasting for the long life
of their husband

Theme for a dream
Asha Kamal Modi's festive collection makes use of all stones bright and beautiful
It didn't take a lot of brain storming for Asha Kamal Modi and her team to
decide upon the apt theme for the festive season. Three simple reasons were
enough to come up with the Vivah collection, "People do a lot of prayers,
they like bright clothes and wedding season coincides with the festival season."
Hence Asha came up with the Temple Theme, which has jewellery made in all bright
coloured beads, stones and even a Hindu idol encrypted on it and a Vivah theme
that has bold designs, in kundan and polki. "Jewellery in almost all
colours of beads to match with the colour of outfit is available with us,"
says Asha.

Love’s logarithm
Somebody please…please…for God's sake, tell us the logic behind fasting and a long life. Einstein and Edison would be tossing and turning in their graves. Poor things!What do they know of love? The only magical word starting with the twelfth letter they'd be knowing of is Log! As in the short for Logarithm tables.
Girls just wanna have fun
What weights more on Karva Chauth for Gen X females - husband or
henna
Got a boyfriend/husband? Done. Nobody in your life? No problem. Believe in
the festival? Good. Don't know anything about it? Perfect. It's not about fast,
faith, tradition, culture, history, blah blah. And, who needs a boyfriend, fiancé',
husband, lover, paramour, partner? It's about gals, when fasting is a fad and
the very Indian Karva Chauth becomes fun even when it's not observed. Or, even
when it is observed!
Tone
Especially for you
To cut a long story short, twisted tale straight, this is what the festival is all about. Girls will go without food, water, the entire day and boys, well, will have a long life. Girls don't mind as long as the perks and gifts keep flowing. What about the guys? Do they like the idea of being given importance like this?
