Found this article/ letter to the editor
in the Trinidad Express Newspaper.....So trinis
mainly focus on Carnival?  I AM SO GUILTY! Carnival? What about Divali, Eid? Saturday, September 9th 2006 The Carnival mentality in this country is getting totally out of hand. Band and costume launches are taking place as early as August now. Might I remind readers that we are still in 2006 and have yet to celebrate Divali! The date for Eid has not even been announced and Christmas has only been mentioned in terms of year-end sales! Where are you Divali, Eid and Christmas? Why can't I find you? Have you been smothered by the feathers and beads of Carnival gear? I'm appalled at the blatant disregard for the aforementioned religious observances and the over-exposure of the Carnival scheduled for February 2007. Trinidad is neither one dimensional nor its people of one culture. Sati Mohammed San Fernando |

Also, there is also a mad rush at certain points for Carnival... Band Launches always cause a stir because they are followed by craziness to register and such..Then it calms down a lil... And if it doesnt so what! to each his/her on!

not picking sides or picking on any groups of ppl. but reading this reminds me of when someone/group wrote that instead of Soca Warriors it should be Soca Chutney Warriors.
