It was Ash Wednesday and the Lent has started.
Last year I gave up “rice” and “corn” along with a meal (dinner). But this year I thought I should give up things that I have been addicted to. Giving up things is a normal during lent, I know a lot of people either give up Non-veg (am a veggie so no point) or booz (I don’t again so .. huh !! )
Along with the fast on a meal(lunch) I decided to give up some lifestyle addictions of mine.
- I did something that I haven’t done in the last 5-6 years. I’ve cut my nails completely. No nails, no nail polish (all the 100 shades that are lying in my shelf will be cursing me for doing this) .
- I was thinking on what are the other things that I can’t even think about giving up. I realized its my jeans n tees!! Alright I will be in all salwars this lent.
- One thing where me and my mom fight about is that I leave my hair open, I know it looks nice and yaa I love it
. But not anymore. It has to be all tied down for this lent. I feel like am twirling myself back by 10 years. - No TV and no Movies !!! No comments.
I’m hoping the lent will be as fruitful as it has been for the last few years. I was able to fast through out and give thing I wanted to.
The Bible Chapters for Ash Wednesday started with Mathew 1-3. Being the first chapter of the New testament Mathew summarizes everything from the birth till the resurrection.
