"Upwas is done when a human has a capacity to eat and he still doesn't eat & stays in sameepa with bhagwaan"
Upavasa Vrata is a process of sacrificing food and getting the aatma or jiva habituate Parabhrama smarana even after having the pain of hunger
It is said that when a jiva leaves the body, one has a pain of some lakhs of poisonous insects attacking us. Fastings are done to help human attain a stage where body overcomes all suffering and gets habituated to Parabhrama nama smarana.
This helps the manava shareera to overcome the pain of jivatma's exit from the body and we take the Parabhramas nama during that time. Upavasa takes us steps closer to attain moksha. Just not eating food and not practicing the eeshwar smarana is not upavasa.
Many people think lighting a lamp is a duty of a woman in family. In fact it is a duty of Yajmaani ( Head of Family ) , the man of the family. A man should be performing puja and lighting the main lamp of the home.
A man lighting the main deeya and praying would give more benefits to the family than just a woman doing it. In addition the woman and children of family should light a deeya. This should be made a daily ritual for all in the family. There are reasons for the same.

Birth, life and death are the Triguna Maya, only Atman is the eternal. Bodies are clothes, how can you keep them for eternity if you have not created them in the first place or know their creation code from their maker?
Shree Gita is the guide to overcome all kind of pain. 1/5
The Supreme Lord said: While you speak words of wisdom, you are mourning for that which is not worthy of grief. The wise lament neither for the living nor for the dead.
