If the peace-loving people of all religions will have such gatherings on a regular basis, it can create miracles to build bridges of peace and solidarity in the society. May GOD guide everybody to have such gatherings of fellowship on a regular basis to make a better society of peace and happiness so that the neighbours can laugh together and bear the burdens. This is the most urgent need of the hour. All the best wishes and prayers.
