A festival celebrated in India by women for a good married life and long life for their husband. Girls start doing this pooja even before they are married or engaged for their future married life...
I have been out of my home for last 8 years. So, I really don't know what is done and why it is done. I only realized that I am expected to do this when my mom-in-law talked about it to me. My family never enforced it on me and I was also not much into all this. You rather ask me about Federer and Computers.. he he..
This year is my first celebration... and I do feel like celebrating it. Its kind of a nice feeling... I had started preparing for it from last 3-4 days. Tried making Satu on thursday, which ended up being a failed attempt. Attempted it again today, and it turned out good. I read about Teej on the internet and the story behind it. A good source of information about Teej is here -
Teej
Posting here if you need to find it sometime and for my reference as well for next year... I am already preparing for next year.. he he..
Anyways, I am waiting for the moon-rise. It's very cloudy here and I can see lightening, so I doubt I will get to see the moon. My mom-in-law has given me a solution if I dont get to see the moon. I should wait for an hour after the moon rise time. If I dont see it by then, I should end my fast anyways by eating Satu and then followed by fruits or whatever is allowed.
So all the girls out there who are celebrating Teej, hope you had a good time getting pampered by the elders. :-)
Love,
Poonam.
