They still do that to kids who are too little to fast. They tell them tum abhee chotay ho adhay din ka roza rakh lo . I used to say nahi rakhoon ga to poray din ka warna nahi. Then they will tell me "tumhara roza rakhnay kay lee a almaree ka order dee-a hay aajaa-a gee toh uss main rakh lena."
I never did that :s I remember when some elders used to suggest me that ‘Chirri Roza’ I used to feel quite awkward because I thought they are asking to go for chirri roza just to make fun of me I was quite conscious about my self-respect or something whatever you call.
I remember insisting i do roza for the whole day when i was about 9, even tho parents were against it. They were extremely long days then. Well, my sister kept eating in front of me to try to tempt me to break the roza, i resisted UNTIL...
I smelled the butter, cucumber and MANGO ACHAAR sandwich she was eating. It was the achaar that did it.
