Ahh! The famous Indian festival Karwa Chauth, yes the one in which a woman or a wife fasts for the whole day and pray for the long life of her husband. It is indeed a popular festival in North India.
Women celebrate the festival out of love for their better halves, but there has been a never-ending debate about the logic behind it. How can be hungry increase someone’s life? Ya, that is true!
Even though the festival has a lot of question marks attached to it, Twitter’s “MrsFunnyBones” AKA Twinkle Khanna who is known for her sarcasm and is quite famous on Twitter for her great sense of humor.
And this time too, she nailed it and chose to shut the debate and all the worthless logic with just a few tweets.
Let’s see what she tweeted,
These days by 40 u could be on the way to your 2nd marriage so what's the point of fasting-don't need the men to last that long anymore:)

She further came back with a reply that everybody has to remain shut now. She tweeted,
That is a possibility-so I checked longevity records-100 countries where men without anyone fasting for them live longer than Indian men:) https://t.co/rBspyZDzni

Now, that’s a great thing to know. Did you know that 100 countries record before?
Well, theirs is no logic behind this Karwa Chauth, though people do it out of love.
After all, there’s no harm in fasting for a day, only out of love for your partner.
And men should also keep this fast right? Women too have the right to live longer just like their husbands, isn’t that?
What do you think about this festival? Logical or not? Lets us know if you stand “for” the topic or “against” it!!
