Fasting - Out of the blue

Today I met a different girl from India. We are working in the same team. Daily we use to go to lunch together. As usual I called her for lunch today. She bluntly said NO. First I thought she might have fought with her boy friend. You know, it is common in India. It looks weird but still I am not able to understand why people kick on their own stomach instead of kicking the guy with whom they fought. After all Health is Wealth.
Now coming to the point, I waffled first then I asked her what the problem is. why you are not coming for lunch. She said that she is on fasting. Oh my God.... Now this is one more thing which I don't know why people carry out without any proof. I got the same answer as most of the girls in India would have replied. "I am doing fasting so that I will get married to the one I love". Too much is it not?????
Why don't these people realize that mutual understanding is more important than any other thing? If it is a true love then nobody can stop it. Just spoiling your digestive system will not help in getting married to the one you loved. May be I am getting more into the biology. But still it is true. Fasting was carried out as a part of our health care tips. I don't think any health care books will say that by fasting every Tuesday there are chances of getting married to the one we love.
I think I am getting deviated from the topic. So when my friend told me that she is on fasting today, I just left saying nothing. But going few steps further one thing suddenly strike my brain. I saw her drinking one glass full of milk in the morning. She also had one apple. When I asked the same to her, she told that it is ok to eat fruits and milk when we are on fasting... ha ha ha.... a proper gag...is it not???? I don't know what to say....There were few more things that I discovered... During fasting we can eat any number of fruits it seems. She also had one milk tea, two apples for lunch. I was swooning after hearing all this. Anyways, it was a good experience. Even I would like to try this kind of fasting ;-)
