i am not saying festivals are not celebrated, i am saying they are not celebrated the way they are in the original cities... do you see a 24+ hour 'Ganesh Visarjan' procession anywhere else but Pune?

and maybe festivals is a bad example from my side... the point was that some things which are specific to your culture/customs should be practiced in a way not to offend/disturb the majority local community AND participate in the local customs if you like but do not criticize them if you dont like them...
