Questions and answers about India

Hey, today I had an assignment, which was: 1. Discuss social and cultural conditions and values from a number of English-speaking countries.
So we could choose a several countries, but I chose India. Because I'm a native Indian, so it's pretty obvious. More specific the task was; Ask questions, and answer them by yourself.

1. How many vacations do they have in India? India only has 12 days as its minimum, but has the highest amount of public holidays with 16.

2. Are you satisfied with your school-system? Statistics from 2007 shows that 77% of Indian pupils are satisfied with their school-system.

3. Do they have many different activities to do in India? Yes, they do. There is a wide wildlife in India ready to get explored. There are also many attractions in India..

4. How do they celebrate their national day? 15. August. 1947 was the date when India got their independence day, this day is memorable for every Indian (Me included). They celebrate this day, with parades, military performance, dance, and singing.

Ramadan, a holy celebration

Ramadan, a holy month for the muslims, but what is the reason that millions of people fast? What is the reason to abstain food? Well, I'm not a muslim, but I think that this holy month is inspiring. To know how millions of other people feel. To feel how weak you actually are. To feel the hunger.

Ramadan is the 9th month of the islamic calender, which is also based on a lunar cycle. Ramadan begins and ends with the official sighting of the new moon. During the month-long fast, able-bodied adults and older children fast during the daylight hours from dawn to dusk. They also refrain from sexual intercourse during daylight hours. That was some basic facts about Ramadan.

I have also fasted, surprisingly, because I love food. That day I realised how much I love food, everything looked like burgers and pizzas... And chicken tadoori... But what do you think? Do you think that Ramadan is dumb and fasting is useless? In case, why? Actually, I think everybody should do it, when you are done and may eat... I swear it's the best feeling ever.

Now I've also tested out several dictionaries, and I have found the best! http://www.thefreedictionary.com it had a broad amount of information about the word, and I found several words, the second one I tried was http://www.onelook.com, I liked it but the reason I chose the other one is; It had more specific information... And I also tried brittanica school edition, it was awesome, so good and so easy to use!
