The festival of Karwa Chauth is just around the corner. While a majority of women are currently planning their outfits and making preparations for the day, there are many who are going through a FOMO (Fear of missing out) too. This group of women do not plan on keeping a fast for their husbands but the pressure of society has taken a toll on them. Well, while it’s a matter of choice, it’s okay to make one that’s against the standards set by society. Even if you don’t plan on fasting and celebrating this day in a conventional way, there are still some ways to deal with the FOMO that comes along with it.
NOT A Big Deal!
Karwa Chauth is a festival that is primarily celebrated in North India. Many Indian female actresses celebrate the day and share pictures in beautiful sarees. A Reddit user highlighted how such things on social media are promoting regressive ideologies that make other women follow it as a trend too. To a large extent, this does make sense. And, this also makes many women feel left out because they don’t choose to participate in it. This FOMO is natural but it’s not a big deal if you aren’t doing what the majority is. There are many who have similar feelings. The pressure of in-laws and society is dealt with by many women, and sometimes sticking to your own principles is okay.
