Eid Mubarak !
Like every year there was no mention of Eid in the mainstream media - Newspapers, websites or TV. If not a holiday, atleast mentioning Eid on the media wouldn't do any harm I guess as far as 'integration' is concerned. Would Jack Straw or Tony Blair bother to come on TV and say Eid Mubarak to all the Muslims in Britain. That would have really helped rather than talking about Muslims and Islam all the time. The same goes for Indian media. After Diwali comes Christmas. Eid is omitted. Bravo !!
Thank Allah that Nazrul Islam wrote a song about Eid-Ul-Fitr once and that song kept Bangladesh alive all these years. It's strange that no song writer, in Bangladesh's history, never bothered to write a memorable Eid song. Even a secular country like Britain produces dozens of new Christmas songs every year. I guess the intellectuals in our country have become super seculars. OK let them be secular then while I remain a Muslim and listen shatinath's version of Nazrul Song - 'Romjaner oi Rojar Sheshe...."
Finally a nice Eid Mubarak song found on You Tube ...Enjoy !
[UPDATE] Indian channel B4U dedicated a whole program for Eid ! Walla !! That's the way bro !
BBC website has a picture story on Eid-Al-Fitr in different countries around the world.
The Pakistani-Bangladeshi singer Alamgir, after winning the life time achievement award in the MOTOROLA music award in Pakistan, sang his version of "Amai Bhashai li re ...." - a famous Bangla folk song infront of a packed Pakistani audience. That was really heart-touching and although the show was two months old, the song made us really proud on Eid day !
"Though first, it was now time to honor a lifetime of classic contributions to the field of music- the recipient of TMA's Lifetime Achievement Award was a man who infused new blood in the music of mid-70s. At a time when people thought that after Ahmed Rushdie, Akhlaque Ahmed, Runa Laila and the likes they will breathe in a world without music - Alamgir dawned a new hope at just that point in time. Alamgir's teary-eyed speech was one of the night's more touching moments. After the standing ovation the TMA band came on stage again and for the first time in 15 years, Alamgir was set to belt out a few of his classic songs with four of the most rocking musicians on the scene today." - Insiya Syed

i don't know what newspapers or channels you are talking about ..but eid gets talked about all through the month in india. in the media.
I lived in Bangladesh as a kid, and I remember being in kindergarten and learning a song to celebrate Eid. I still remember that song, twenty-four years later, although I'm sure my pronunciation has degraded the meaning to nothingness. I wish I knew what it meant.
I liked the youtube song, although I was amused by the origin of the tune they used. It was originally a song by Nsync called "Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays". The cool thing is, they didn't change all that many words!
I just love the Muslims. they are so intelligent and we must be a bit tolerant with their believes. I think we need more initiatives like this one to improve our thoughts about religions.

Through my professional life and education as a cook, I’ve been to many countries and have worked and dined at great dating online restaurants with people who are now my mentors and peers. It all helped shape what I regard as the fundamentals and foundation of what great cuisine is really all about.
I learned that you don’t manipulate products to the point where their intangible greatness and provenance is hidden, or worse, destroyed for the sake of fashion or novelty. I learned to treat the ingredients with respect. tattoo pictures The reward is not only satisfaction and pleasure for the guest but to yourself as a cook.
Pretty helpful piece of writing, thanks so much for your post.
Quite helpful information, thanks for your article.

The concept caters to the questionable tendency of mainstream capital markets to abstract everything to the point that it is no longer positioned in a real.
