You know we've a culture of fasting here. All married women dry fast at least once a year on Karwa Chouth. All sadhus (saints), spiritual people encourage it but somehow I just never did it. Now that I'm feeling inspired, I'll try it out. First I'll try it for 12 hours tomorrow.

Starting small is smart. At the beginning of the month, I was only doing 13 hours, but then it got easier to go longer.
I didn't know there was Holiday that involved dry fasting. That's interesting.

India is a land of festivals apart from many other things. My mother fast every Monday for Lord Shiva, 11th day (Ekadashi) of Hindu calender (occurs twice a month). Then there are many festivals and she does fast on all of them. We have many many Gods and Goddesses.
