Well, that is an interesting festival..We women should pray for our mates daily and pray for their health and all aspects of their life but this would be a good thing to do to pray with fasting for their longevity..Thanks for stopping by my poem "Life"..I appreciate the time spent there..Sara

Is there Dr. Upma, a festival where married men fast and pray for long life of their wives? Now I understand why men live a long happy life in India: They owe it to their beautiful and devoted wives! Thank you Dr. Upma!
