Prajakta - perfect blend of modernism combined with traditional values.
Prajakta, for all of you, who don't know her....she's a girl with delicately outlined kajal - eyeliner smudged eyes, a body that's shaped like an hourglass and a smile that stretches from Kanyakumari to Mt.Everest. She likes to take care of her body and herself, realising that youth is only once afterall and has become more aware of her sexuality and individuality than she ever was earlier...did the exams do the trick or the examiner...;-)
With Karva Chauth round the corner, we 3, myself, Prajakta and Viji (as she's called in office) had this conversation:
Me : Viji, are you going to be fasting for Karva Chauth ?
Viji : Yes, have been doing so since the last 2 years.
Prajakta (intervens, as usual) : And how do you break the fast? Do you perform the complete puja?
Viji : Nopes ya, I and M (wouldn't want to name Viji's b/f's name here. Let's call him 'M') go to a restaurant and there he makes me drink water. Fast Broken!
(Wah, what a convenient way of breaking the most important fast, which is observed by married women for the "welfare" and "longevity" of their spouses. Long live husbands and b/f's, if we were to be treated to fine restaurants and fine meals....it feels good to eat khanna cooked by someone else!!...are the men listening..??)
Prajakta : Oh! So you don't break the fast through the conventional way i.e like seeing the reflection of the moon in a thali of water or through the sieve..etc which is the actual process.
Viji: Nopes, and it would get too obvious to Mom at home if I sit and perform the actual process.
Prajakta : Arre, U can do it yaar, take the sieve that we use to pour tea along with you when u go to meet him and before he starts to make you drink water..see him through it!!!!!
I, Viji burst into laughter..and so does the rest of the gang.
Can anyone think of a better modern-yet-so-traditional way?
