Holi Fest
Yesterday was an auspicious day to Hindus in general and Vaishnavites in particular. It was celebrated as Holi Pournima. I think that today is celebrated as Holi with festivities to commemorate the Divine pastimes of Lord Shree Krishna, an Avataar of Shree Mahaa Vishnu, in many regions of India and on a global scale in all regions with Hindu population.
As a person who worked in Bhutan for a few years, I have always shared an interest in the region including countries such as Nepal, with strong historic ties with India (besides the important fact that Nepal is the birth place of Seethaa Devi, consort of Lord Shree Raam, an Avataar of Shree Mahaa Vishnu). I had the joy of viewing thid year's Holi Fest on Nepal 1 TV Channel.

Charleston and it's Afro-Americans
As a travel enthusiast in my younger days and a fan of travel documentaries at present, I have always liked books and other media on travel. In this way, Foxlife TV Channel has been of much interest to me.
I had the pleasure of watching a program titled 'Padma Lakshmi's Taste of the Nation' in the channel. It featured Charleston, South Carolina, its people and their food. More importantly it gave an insight into how Afro-Americans in the city have contributed to the city's history.
Such programs are like reading Mark Twain's novels.
The program reminded me of my good looking caucasian penpal from this historic city, during my college days. I have written about her in my earlier posts.
