I was just looking at some pictures that were taken during the Hindu festival of Holi last week. What struck me more than anything was the obvious joy and happiness of the people participating.
What better example of how religious ritual unites a community across all stations in life can there be?
Look at the pictures here.

Holi is fun when you play with your friends... doesnt always have to be with colors.. we used to play with water even though holi was not our festival.... throw water balloons on people we know from top of buildings.... since they're already covered with colors.. they dont mind it a bit...and when they come after us with colors.. we hide inside our house.... lol... it was fun...
