It is a reminder that hunger and thirst can be controlled, but human desires often cannot. Every fast teaches a simple truth: everything in this world is temporary and perishable, while the Almighty alone is eternal.For the past several weeks, I have been observing the Solah Somwar Vrat.

Others stay with us, not because of what we saw, but because of what they make us feel and contemplate. Last night, I experienced one such dream, set on the sacred waters of the Kshipra River in Ujjain.In the dream, my son and I were swimming across the river, starting from the holy Ramghat and making our way toward the opposite bank.

Yet, even in their blur, they carried a charm, a promise of something beyond the page.Last night, I went to bed with a quiet thought: “It has been so many days since I dreamt of God.

We performed Shree Anant Pooja along with Mohini and Sheshnag rituals, a practice deeply rooted in Koknasth Brahmin culture.
