March 23rd - Pakistan Day

Pakistan Day is observed today, a national holiday celebrating the formation and independence of that country in 1940. Several political and social organizations hold rallies, meetings, symposiums and debates on Pakistan Day; while schools organize quiz programmes on the independence movement. Meanwhile special prayers will be held at mosques today for stability and progress of the country.

I suggest cooking a great Pakistani dinner (or order a good Curry), and maybe curling up with a "Bollywood" inspired film such as "Bride & Prejudice" or even "Bend It Like Beckham"!
