Hi Imran – thank you for the comment; I was also very impressed by your pictures, which are beautiful and make me want to visit Pakistan. Would it be possible for me to post one of your pictures on WorldCultureNet? Perhaps with some information about a Pakistani tradition or custom?
I discovered your Word Press blog when I was looking for good links to add to my Blogger blog at http://naturalistsalmanac.blogspot.com. I decided to add a link to your New Year Celebrations materials to my January 1 entry. I like what you are doing and may find opportunities to add more links to your blog as I proceed with my own Blogger blog. Incidentally, it interests me that you list Ramadan under your New Year Celebrations. My understanding is that the Islamic New Year begins with their month called Muharram, but I haven’t been able to find out much about Muharram because no one seems to celebrate it as the New Year.
Hi Gale — thank you for your comments. I will research the Islamic calendar a little more to see if I can respond to the question of Ramadan as a New Year’s celebration.
I like your blog and intend to spend some time exploring it because your interests overlap with mine. Thanks for offering so much information on so many subjects.
I’ve added the Naturalist’s Almanac to WorldCultureNet’s blogroll — it’s a beautiful site with entries about different seasonal celebrations connected to each day of the year.
Ramadan carries new year’s symbolisms since it is the time at which the course of events in the coming year is determined — it is the opening of a new book. I have not yet found much information about celebrations around Muharram (the first month of the Islamic calendar), but would love to hear from anyone who knows about any traditions around the beginning of the new Islamic calendar.
