<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> As I
have no old clothes I need to throw away, and have a distaste
for agression -- especially aimed at myself -- I plan to stay inside
locked doors ... and shoot pictures from my balcony! Best of BOTH worlds.</span></p>

Central Asian, Albanian, Zoroastrian and Baha'í friends. </span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Actually
the Zoroastrians here in Bombay
(Parsis) have THREE New Years (a dispute over calendars!). And in the
accomodating way Parsis have, rather than insist on their OWN way of doing
things, they celebrate ALL THREE! (Especially when,as with one of our
trustees, there is inter-sect marraige ... which due to a dwindling population
is increasingly common)</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Also happy Solstice to all Pagans and Celticists!</span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">And if we
stretch the months calendar just a bit, March 27th is Gudi Padwa ... and Telugu
New Year!</span></p>

<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">(I once
thought I would tell my employer that as far a holidays are concerned I only
wanted every New Years day off. And then, after they agreed, I would
inform them that I would be taking EVERY New Year's ... whenever celebrated by
ANY group. Here in Bombay
alone that would work out to 4-5 more paid holidays than on the official
government calendar!)<br>
