Karwa Chauth is a occasion which has been inspiring Indian women for years and has been a emotional nucleus for many marriages. In present day, the concept and form of this festival has taken a great change.
When this ritual of celebrating Karwa Chauth started, the wife was dependent on the husband and this was one way of showing love and expressing gratitude. But today, in most cases, the wife is working and is no longer financially dependent on the husband. Stating the above, I would still like to believe in the emotion behind the fast and feel that though times have changed this festival has still kept the tradition of wife’s undaunted love for her husband alive. In modern society and with high tech life style, we are losing small moments of happiness in relationships. This festival is one way to bring two loving hearts together and reminding each other that marriages are made in heaven but hearts beat on earth.
So all you busy husbands and wife, please find time to wish each other ‘Happy Karwa Chauth’ and celebrate the beautiful bond which God created. Make your partner feel wanted and get away from the myth that Karwa Chauth is only for women.

Has there ever been a time when I was fully alone
That I didn’t think about you and me
All the mistakes I made, each one hurting you more and more
Was that why you hit me?
Was that why you raped me?
Each time whispering compliments and “I love you”
I didn’t bite my tongue, just kept on talking
Allowing my words to burn you
Opening up my scars
Bleeding, crying, begging, but still you stay
Hurting me physically as I hurt you verbally
Pain of love is nothing
Love is nothing but confused pain
With each word I said, I hurt you
Every time you touched me, I hurt myself
Was I blind?
Am I weak?
Will the pain of love leave with you?
My body and heart burn with fear and happiness when you threaten to leave
My mind’s fucked up because of you
I’m not sure if I’m worth anything
You broke me with each word I said
Using “I love you” to make you right
I will never be free from the pain of love
If that’s what we even shared.

Everything has a time and a place
Over time things must change
And like a river,life goes on.
I remember last summer clearly.
You and me,we were going great.
Though so long ago,I can remember our first date.
We were perfect,as close as you can get
But there’s one thing back then that I forgot.
Young love,barely ever lasts.
I cried and cried,and wanted to die
I couldn’t see the bigger picture
I focused on the moment.
I was so low,but now I know..
Everything has a time and place
Over time things must change
And like a river,life goes on.
I used to say love was a mistake.
But I was wrong.
Love is the greatest thing.
It can hurt like hell.
But it can feel like heaven.
And no matter what happens.

Don’t love me for what I have,
Or the things that you think I’ll receive.
Love me for who I am as a whole,
And the person that I’m struggling to be.
Don’t love me for my money,
Because if you ask I will truly share.
Love me for being understanding and kind,
And for being a friend whose always there.
Don’t love me because I house you,
Because I would do the same for a dog.
Love me because I have faith in you,
And for loving you most of all.
Love me for seeing the good in you,
And for helping you overcome the bad.
Don’t love me because I cater to you,
And for giving you my very last.
Love me for the person I am truly,
On the inside and the out.
Don’t love me because the words I love you,
Flows freely from my mouth.

Bay baat bigadte rehte ho
Bechain hamesha rehte ho
Yeh sab nishani ISHQ ki hai
Kya ISHQ kisi se karte ho?
Raton ko jagte rehte ho
Aur taray bhi tum gintay ho
Yeh sab nishani ISHQ ki hai
Kya ISHQ kisi se karte ho?
Zikra jo mera chalta hai
Chehre ka rang badalta hai
Bechain say tum ho jate ho
Kya ISHQ mujh hi se kertay ho?
