Hi Samikshan,

A nice idea, but unfortunately one that is already being worked on.  At the 
moment we have both Holidays and Akonadi support in the Plasma Calendar 
widget, which will give us full PIM data integration once the kdepim migration 
is complete.  We also already have a GSoC project this year for Zeitgeist 
integration into Plasma which will give us the other data, albeit not yet in 
the calendar.  If you do want to try adding it to the calendar then pop back 
after GSoC and use the new dataengine to do so.

Have a look at the 

Cheers!

John.
