    What a wonderful feeling to learn that Riyadh celebrated the feast of Nativity thru the active intervention of "Aangann Kutam". Glad to know that our friend Conrad Nazareth also took part in the gathering.

    Saudi Arabia has always produced some of the best vegetables that are ideal for the Nativity feast. We produced many vegetables ourselves in our home garden while we brought the banana leaves from the Qatif village.

    Its gratifying to see that such large gatherings of relegious festivals are now possible in Saudi Arabia that will enable all our Indian friends to celebrate their traditional "desi festivals" home away from home.
