NAUROZ !
Eid Nauroz Mubarak!
It's Nauroz, so I wish everyone in Iran, Nothern Pakistan, Parsis in India, Central Asians and all those celebrating it around the world - a great day.
While living in Gilgit, we used to have an official holiday on Nauroz..
The UN in 2010 recognized the International Day of Nowruz, describing it as a spring festival of Persian origin which has been celebrated for over 3,000 years
If one happens to be in Kazakhsatan,Turkmenistan etc. one can see people jumping over small bonfires.
It's celebrations are very much the same as Eid or Seolnal.
Happy Nauroz to all.
