Hehe, kool topic.. the usual khans and stars bashing aside, i learnt something new today.
It's good that Jains have that kind of a festival with a great msg.
It's much better then to "sacrifice" means killing of so many innocent animals and their meat even go to dumps.. some1 sacrified his son for whatever f**ked up reason and here ppl r killing innocent animals for that f**king sacrifice.. some things about many religions that make me sick..
But the point is missing in asking for forgiveness.. is "if you dont know what sin/crime or mistake you have committed.. forgiveness is not granted. It's not a random charity, It's a specific crime against confession situation.:. There is no magic wand or shouting from rooftops.. that can grant you forgiveness from all and behold.
However, it's a great gesture (not Aamir's but the tradition) to open a dialog and it can go a long way for frenemies becoming friends.
I think this was a good lil gem from aamir.. in order to foul mouth him, we learnt of a great tradition.. hehe. No damage done.. all good.
