Thanks for the reply mate. To borrow your words...

"If you are taking local practice as your model, then fasting includes no water, or smoking (or sex!)"

I am not drinking water, am a non-smoker and i aint married. So i think i can do all that you said, hehe. As to going without water...i know its not easy, and being a sports reporter, its all the more hard.

But i see it this way...I am going through the hardship for just one month in a whole year. I think the trouble is worth it. I am ready to face the consequences.

But once again, thanks for replying to the topic. You too, Swissgirl. I always knew you were a dear!
