"It's the holiest time of the year and we are being stopped from visiting our own temple. It's outrageous."

[url]Villagers in India have accused the Hollywood superstar, Julia Roberts, of interrupting one of their most important religious festivals.[/url]

I feel funny a single girl can interrupt such an important festival that is more than 3,000 years and is practice by millions of people around the world.

May be i am not good enough to understand the situation. :confused:

I think you do understand the situation very well, Atan. It seems to be a case of materialism taking precedence over the sacred. If they had to film in a temple I don't see why they couldn't have demonstrated greater respect and filmed at a time that didn't disrupt the devotions.

I do agree, Barafundle. I'm also a little disappointed that a wonderful book (Eat Pray Love) is being turned into a Hollywood style movie, with such a big star. I loved the book and if it had to be filmed would have preferred it to star a complete unknown, possibly an actress who had experienced something of what the book portrays.

I prefer not to discuss this topic. 🙂

Good Luck.

No problem, Atan. No need to discuss anything you don't want to. But Barafundle was only making a comment.
