Fasting for boys remains a tough obligation

KANPUR: Fasting has always been a tough practice for the boys who escape the routine despite the parental indictment. It is definitely a tough obligation for them. However, they try to keep the fast for one, two, three or four days by saying no.

It is the fear of keeping the fast for a little short of fifteen hours that discourages the boys not to observe the fast willingly.

One boy who arrived at his Granny's house in the tannery town here from the city areas suggested his friend that you should remain to beware of my grandmother. She forced me to keep the fast daily. His friend told him that he had kept his fast on three different days.

These boys are in the age group of 12 years or more. Staying away from food and water for quite a long hour looks extremely hard for them but once they decide to complete the fast, they do not fail. It has practically been confirmed.
