Default International Pillow Fighting Day

Dear friends,

While we celebrate Spring in India by daubing each other in colors, elsewhere in parts of Europe, America and Canada, people celebrated International Pillow Fighting Day which fell on March 22, 2008.

Pillow fighting events are organized in several cities and people who participate are required to bring their own pillows and gather at a public place. Then everyone starts beating each other softly with their pillows. They are encouraged not to bring in hard pillows and keep their blows gentle and soft. Only blows from pillows are permitted, no fist blows.

You can see some delightful pictures here: IBNLive > Photogallery > News photos from India and World

On the lighter side, we can look at this as a stress buster. If you have a nagging boss or an authoritative in-law, take them along and bash them with the pillow. There will be no serious damage to them and you would have got your stress out in a gentle way. What say, friends?

What a nice idea. We should have something unusual like this. What about International Lungi Day or International Malli Poo day or International Pan Chewing day
