The real story behind karwa chauth!

okies...so amny of you want the real thing,the hidden story behind karwa chauth...here it is,direct from a kavi sammelan in Noida

It goes like this:

Once,The owl,the vehicle of goddess lakshmi,got very irritated.. He was very sad and agonized at the same time.How could they?Why should they?were the questions roaming in his mind..

Goddess Lakshmi asked him,Whats ur problem?
Thus he spoke:

The vehicles of all gods are worshiped with their festivals.Vishnu ji's vehicle is worshiped,Shankar ji's vehicle is worshiped,even Ganesh ji's vehicle is worshiped...but never me.No body ever cares to worship me.

So goddess Lakshmi said okay,my dear vehicle.I'll look into the matter.She called an all party meeting in the heaven and everybody discussed the issue.
Finally the matter was decided..

Thus she spoke:
Okay,The owl,my vehicle.So you have it.You know that I am worshiped on Diwaali,every year,by one and all...
So lets have this,You shall be worshiped by all women..just a few days before diwaali..

and thus the festival of karwa chauth was born!
(pun intented)!!
