Reclaim Your Traditions: 7 Ways To Give Karwa Chauth A Twist Of Equality This Year

Sukhmani Waraich by Sukhmani Waraich
October 22, 2021

South Asians have a complicated relationship with traditions, across generations. Some of our age-old customs feel oppressive and patriarchal to us, but they also bring the comfort of the familiar. Many of us saw our families celebrating the traditions that we no longer find acceptable in their old form. It’s an internal conflict that millennials and Gen Z-ers have to bear, especially during the festive season and weddings. One such part of north Indian tradition is Karwa Chauth, one of the festivals that attracts the most commentary and controversy every year.

So, in the interest of balance and avoiding another year of conflict, we gave Karwa Chauth a modern, feminist twist. If you’re at odds with yourself about the festival but still crave the sense of comfort that comes with it, here’s a new way to make Karwa Chauth your own and finally feel at peace with your 21st century ideals.

1. Cook together!

Instead of the wife fasting or the couple fasting together, create a meal together! No one needs to fast and be miserable in the name of tradition. Replace the discomfort with something you both will cherish and enjoy. And let’s face it, no matter how much rom-coms sell this fantasy to us, the reality of married life is all about chores, jobs, exhaustion, and asking each other what to do about dinner in an endless loop. It’ll be nice to have a day devoid of this monotony.

2. Download health apps on each other’s phones and monitor the other’s progress

I think we can all agree that the one certain way of ensuring your spouse’s long life is to keep them healthy. And the modern, millennial way to do that is to download health apps. Whether it’s intermittent fasting, a steps tracker, or an app to remind them to drink water regularly, you’ll find what you need if you look hard enough. But don’t use this as an excuse to spend all day on your phone, which brings us to our next point.

3. Spend the day with each other instead of lost in your devices

Another reality of married life is staring into phones and nodding wordlessly at half sentences. So, break the loop on this day. Use Karwa Chauth as a reason to spend time away from your phones and with each other. And this year, it’s on a Sunday! So, dress up and take selfies, but post them the next day.

4. Don’t meet relatives if all they’re going to do is nag you about not fasting

Mental peace over all else! If your relatives are going to curse you for ruining their traditions and hence being the cause of global destruction, it’s best to stay away till they get it. You might have to make excuses this year or maybe even the next, but eventually, they’ll understand your new ways if they truly love you. If they don’t, it’s probably best that you maintain a respectable distance from them anyway.

5. Buy a couple of plants and take care of them together

If that sounds too intimidating, start with one plant. Buy something that doesn’t need too much attention because neither of you will enjoy it then. But watching something grow that you both contribute towards is surprisingly joyful, even if it’s a regular old money plant.

6. Revamp one area of your house to make it a no-fight zone

Use the weekend of Karwa Chauth to do a bit of DIY. Choose one neutral space in your house and designate it as a no-fight zone. This way, there will be one space in your house that won’t ever be marred by an ugly argument. This will also be a happy memory for when the next year rolls around without a single disagreement in the no-fight zone.

7. Talk!

Use the day to just talk to each other, no matter where the conversation goes. Keep it flowing and you may be able to tackle some deep, long-unresolved issues, both collective and individual. Take breaks, of course, but make Karwa Chauth the day of communication.

Make this festival a day to appreciate your spouse instead of dreading the ordeal of fasting and bowing down to patriarchal traditions. Reclaim your festivals and make sure they bring you joy and not the feeling of crumbling under pressure. After all, the festive season is supposed to be all about happiness.

#EveOfTheMoment: @bawrijogan shares her story with us

I have loved dancing since I was a kid and started learning Kathak at 8. But as time passed, I lost touch with dancing. 

In 2017, the spark rekindled when I watched dance reality shows. But this time, I found a new love - belly dancing. I learnt belly dancing through TV, YouTube and Instagram. 

Belly dance is a non-conventional art form that society doesn’t accept without judgements. But my father, sister and brother-in-law supported and encouraged me to follow my passion. 

At first, I was apprehensive about belly dancing because I was conscious of my body and skin. I didn’t fit the standards society has for a belly dancer. But the more I practised, the more I fell in love with the art form. 

In 2021, I decided to learn belly dancing professionally. Back then, I had a hard time where getting out of bed was also a chore. However, belly dancing helped me deal with it all. It helped me grow confident and embrace my body and skin condition - vitiligo. 

Soon, I started teaching belly dance, conducting workshops and even had a chance to do a dance project with my teacher recently. 

For me, belly dancing is like meditation. It takes me to a different zone where I can express my feelings, be it sorrow or happiness, and I feel at peace. It is all about expressively channelising my emotions.

A one-night stand's primary notion is to have a pleasurable, casual night of sex and then never see each other again. When you make the decision to let your hormones rule over, an automatic fire develops. It's nothing to be ashamed of, despite the fact that many people might judge others for having a one-night stand. You will benefit greatly from owning your sexuality and taking the bull by the horns. Others find it difficult to have a little fun with a stranger, while others do. Let's find out whether one-night stands are your thing. - Madam Eve

The world is just healing from the impact of one of the deadliest viruses in recent times and the memories are still pretty fresh. So, Anubhav Sinha’s attempt with Bheed is commendable. The movie showcases thousands of migrants going back to their villages on foot post the Covid curfew announcement. From cycling to being stuffed in trucks, trollies, or any other available vehicles, people were desperate to get back home. But the harsh reality loses its impact in the storytelling with too many great ideas tied together loosely. Here is our review of Bheed starring Rajkummar Rao, Bhumi Pednekar, Dia Mirza, Ashutosh Rana, Kritika Kamra, and Pankaj Kapur.

Here are some quick, simple, and nourishing foods you may try this Navratri without sacrificing the nutritional content. -@abookaholicarts, Features Writer
