I don't know, I don't feel like laughing with you guys, without knowing the religious significance of what he was trying to do. Laughing at someone doing something different based on his religious or cultural belief just makes us look like retards - no different than westerners laughing at Indians who wear kumkum or saree.

Only difference is that this is not some kind of generalization. If Sreesanth wasn't in that picture, then no one would have been laughing. Not sure how Sreesanth's case is analogous to bold part.

Too much seriousness in everything they do, no wonder Indians seldom smile. I prefer the American way - to laugh at everything including oneself. You cannot tread through life on tip-toes, afraid to step on someone's toes. Life is best lived by jumping right in. Now laughing at someone's face is different, but I am all for laughing at rituals in a group of friends

Its part of our culutre to be serious when it comes to religious issues not everyone is a atheist.
Most of the time I see Hindus having fun in religious issues. Holi, Diwali, Dussehra :dontknow:
