Nagpur It’s that time of the year when your wife starves the whole day, yet doesn’t show an iota of fatigue as she stands there all dolled up, waiting patiently for the moon to appear. All this so that you may live a long life. When she finally looks through that sieve, first at the moon and then at you, you feel like crying. What a touching moment. Even if you’re the most patriarchal, self-entitled cave man, on this day you will feel very guilty. And love your wife more than any other day of the year. Ok, so let’s interrupt this Karan Johar movie like scenario and give you a bit of a reality check. Even as your wife says extra sweet things to you, be on your guard. She might be thinking what a selfish, undeserving husband you are. Since men are a little challenged in gauging a woman’s true thoughts and feelings, we’re giving you a helping hand. Click on the image after each situation to find out what your wife may be actually thinking this Karva Chauth.
1. When you forget in the morning that it’s Karva Chauth and she sweetly says “Don’t worry love, it’s only Karva Chauth. It’s not like you forgot my birthday!”
2. When you ask her if she’s feeling faint and she says “Don’t worry sweetheart. We women have a lot of stamina.”
3. When you comment on the neighbourhood ladies who are decked up in heavy gold jewellery and she says “I know! Thank God your mom doesn’t insist that I too look like a jewellery store!”
4. When you tell her how hard it was for you to leave work early on Karva Chauth and she says, “Darling, it’s one day of the year. I’m sure your boss will understand.”
5. When you tell her how bad you’re feeling that she has to fast all day and she says “Come on. It’s just one day. That’s the least I can do for you.”
6. When she looks at the moon through the sieve and then you and says “I can’t think of a more beautiful moment than this.”
Ok, so even if you feel we’re totally off the mark in guessing what’s going on in your wife’s mind, admit it, this has got you thinking, hasn’t it? Well, don’t take us too seriously. We like to be chatpata, just like the folks at Kurkure who are asking #WhySoSweet this Karva Chauth.
