Karva chauth di sargi: Day vermicelli pudding


Karva chauth di sargi: Early morning vermicelli pudding

I love fasting on karva chauth despite it being a grueling day of controlling your hunger and thirst, and not because it’s the most fanciest custom that bollywood has to show in their movies nowadays. But fasting like this is when one gets to really appreciate the food we eat and the water we drink daily.

Mostly I feel more thirsty than hungry. But somehow it feels good to fast on the day. Its not just 'fast for your husband's long life' as is mostly portrayed, its also about celebrating your wedded life and marriage.

 The day started for me at 3:30am, when I got up to eat my sargi and to drink all the water I could before sunrise. ‘Sargi’ is just the (punjabi) name given to the delicious vermicelli kheer (see recipe below) eaten in the morning.

According to traditional custom, a married woman takes the 'sargi', which is prepared specially for the ocassion by the mother-in-law, and leaves on the previous day to go to her mother’s house. In the wee hours of the morning she eats it with her mother and other aunts that have gathered there. The fast begins at twilight, and women fast from food and water.

When the day starts, the women folk spend decorating themselves with henna and getting dressed up in their wedding apparels, and pretty much look like brides. In today’s times they go shopping, they especially buy decorated bangles and sometimes spend the afternoon at the movies!
 


Around late afternoon, ranging between 3pm to 6pm (depends on the individual family custom), the daughter-in-law arrives with her mother and her aunts at her in-laws place. Here all the ladies, including that of the neighbourhood gather to perform the ‘poiya mansna’ ceremony. They get into a circle and rotate their pooja thalis whilst singing traditional songs.

Ive always heard the one that Ive shown below, “kudiye karwada....”. Here in Africa, we gather mostly at the local temple hall and do this ceremony. Then one of the elder lady tells us the ‘katha’, the story behind the fast. The hardcore ‘pindi’ punjabi (village accent) becomes a foreign language to me and I’m lost after a few lines into the story!

I just enjoy the whole ceremony of seeing so many women all dressed up. Its like seeing all your friends, aunts, and all women as brides all on the same day! We admire each other’s jewellery, mehndi and wedding gowns etc. :D




A lot of woman take their first sip of water after this ceremony, and have some form of liquid to relieve themselves. They have food only after the moon comes out. Some (really dedicated wives) wait with thirsty throats up until the time the moon comes out.

I had a big glass of water at 4:30 pm and then another glass of juice. From then the wait starts…for the moon to come out. In India, I have heard from my mum that the moon comes out around 8:00pm. Then all the women rush outside and offer obeisances to the moon and see the moon through a seive (I have no idea, why all this is done so). Thereafter they break their fasts.



And because some of us are in the southern hemisphere… we waited till 10:30pm and there was no sign of the moon… After another gruelling, half an hour…the moon was sighted at 11:00pm and we finally broke our fasts and had food. By then I wasn’t even hungry, but nevertheless ate to replenish the energy I had lost! My malayalee husband still doesn’t get why I need to do all this… I know I do it for the fun of it!

"Karva Chauth Day falls on the 4th day of the Kartik month every year. On this day it is customary for the wife to fast the whole day. She does not drink water either. She paints her hands and feet with henna, dresses generally in red apparel ...

On Karva Chauth day, which is observed in North India, tens of millions of women keep a fast, .... Only after seeing the moon do the women break their day-long fast in the evening/night. Normally women go out of their houses and on their roof tops to see if the moon is up yet.

What are Platelets and Why are They Important?




What are Platelets and Why are They Important?
Platelets are the tiny blood cells that helps to stop bleeding by binding together to form a clump or plug at sites of injury within blood vessels.






What is a healthy platelet count?A normal platelet count ranges from 1,50,000 to 4,50,000 platelets per microliter of blood. Having more than 4,50,000 platelets could be a condition known as Thrombocytosis, but less than 150,000 is known as Thrombocytopenia. You get your platelet number from a routine blood testing called a complete blood count (CBC).


What it means to have too many platelets (Thrombocytosis)
If you have too many platelets, it can increase your risk for clotting. For example, you could have a healthy number of platelets, but if they’re sticking together too much it can increase your probability of getting a  heart attack or stroke.


What it means to have too few platelets (Thrombocytopenia)
When you don’t have enough platelets, it’s referred to as  Thrombocytopenia. Symptoms include easy bruising, and frequent injury from the gums, nose, or GI tract. Your platelet count drops when one thing is preventing your body from manufacturing  platelets. There is a large vary of causes, including:

Medications
An transmissible condition
Certain forms of cancer, like cancer of the blood or cancer
Chemotherapy treatment for cancer
Kidney infection or pathology
Too much alcohol


Keeping track of your plateletsToo few platelets, many platelets, too  abnormally functioning platelets, and connected  conditions like blood clots, strokes, and heart attacks may be  inherited, thus  it’s a honest plan  to alert your doctor once there's a family affiliation.

Although you will feel fine, your medical practitioner would possible need to stay an in depth eye  on you and investigate whether or not you need medications to scale back the functioning of your platelets. The commonest  blood-thinning medication is aspirin, though recent studies have shown that girl under 65 who are otherwise healthy do not receive the same benefit from aspirin as men do. There is no concrete answer to it nonetheless.
For patient : should be on liquid diet as much as possible for recovering soon.

Good luck.

Prevention Collaboration between the health and other sectors (public and private);

An integrated approach to disease control to maximize use of resources;

Evidence-based decision making to ensure any interventions are targeted appropriately; and

Prevention thus depends on control of and protection from the bites of the mosquito that transmits it. The World Health Organization recommends an Integrated Vector Control program consisting of five elements:

Advocacy, social mobilization and legislation to ensure that public health bodies and communities are strengthened;

The primary method of controlling A. aegypti is by eliminating its habitats.  This is done by getting rid of open sources of water, or if this is not possible, by adding insecticides or biological control agents to these areas. Generalized spraying with organophosphate or pyrethroid insecticides, while sometimes done, is not thought to be effective. Reducing open collections of water through environmental modification is the preferred method of control, given the concerns of negative health effects from insecticides and greater logistical difficulties with control agents.  People can prevent mosquito bites by wearing clothing that fully covers the skin, using mosquito netting while resting, and/or the application of insect repellent (DEET being the most effective).  However, these methods appear not to be sufficiently effective, as the frequency of outbreaks appears to be increasing in some areas, probably due to urbanization increasing the habitat of A. aegypti. The range of the disease appears to be expanding possibly due to climate change.


Capacity-building to ensure an adequate response to the local situation.
Anti-dengue day International Anti-Dengue Day is observed every year on June 15th.  The idea was first agreed upon in 2010 with the first event held in Jakarta, Indonesia in 2011. Further events were held in 2012 in Yangon, Myanmar and in 2013 in Vietnam.  Goals are to increase public awareness about dengue, mobilize resources for its prevention and control and, to demonstrate the Asian region’s commitment in tackling the disease.
