		<description><![CDATA[Well narrated.

It is a very special day in the life of married couples in the NORTH. It got mileage from the movies that made it bigger than it was.

My memories as a kid was a special day that my mother was not allowed to work in the house. At 5 pm Pandit came and told the story of Karva Chauth. It was fascinating in those days.

Finally the moon appeared and every body was on the roof to look for  the moon. Prayer followed by simple Halwa Puri dinner. Mom got a special gift of a Sari or a piece of Jewelry from my father, a tradition we have carried forwardtill day.

Sharma takes the cake for making a stand up comedy on it. Love it]]></description>
