The one gift to world from Hinduism that I nurture is "Mala". Counting beads to count recitation. But I cringe when some in Euorpe and United States Islamic rosary is called "Worry beads".

Kids having fun! In lahore the Holi festival used to be an absolute riot of colours, fun and laughter. Our youngsters need to revive it. This is one heritage that has gone on and celebrated for thousands of years.

They have started this Holi festival all around the world! Last year, I attended one in London in July, and my friends from Salzburg,Austria told me they had one couple weeks ago! It's nothing but a commercialisation of Indian Festival. But, as long as it's bringing people together and spreading joy and happiness.. it's great. No need to bring religion into it.

Pray tell, why should we read or care about this stuff which has nothing to do with our faith or culture?? Give me a break and please report more relevant issues such as Pakistani poets and artists if you please!

@Fiza Yusuf There is nothing wrong in reporting good things, may be you are more interested in suicide bombings and firings.
