Starting small is smart. At the beginning of the month, I was only doing 13 hours, but then it got easier to go longer.
I didn't know there was Holiday that involved dry fasting. That's interesting.

India is a land of festivals apart from many other things. My mother fast every Monday for Lord Shiva, 11th day (Ekadashi) of Hindu calender (occurs twice a month). Then there are many festivals and she does fast on all of them. We have many many Gods and Goddesses.

You know we've a culture of fasting here. All married women dry fast at least once a year on Karwa Chouth. All sadhus (saints), spiritual people encourage it but somehow I just never did it. Now that I'm feeling inspired, I'll try it out. First I'll try it for 12 hours tomorrow.
