What is this with 'Days' ? It was fine when limited to Valentine's Day, which we fell in love with, as did card and chocolate companies. But Compassion Day? What gives, here?
When you run out of compassion, (Jab passion kam ho jaye) what will it be? Here are random thoughts-might land a consulting job with a card company one day.
Dhoortta Diwas- Cleverness Day, but don't you try to be too clever!
Moorkhta Diwas-Foolishness Day. Well, we'll find a way to differentiate it from April Fool's Day. After all, they say a fool is born every minute.
Anokha Abhiyaan Diwas - Do Something Different Day. You must not do anything that you did on the previous day, except of course, the essentials.
Rant Against the Boss Day- This if done every day, increases your stress levels. So do it vigorously only on this day. You can send him a rose like Munnabhai sent to his foes.
Love Thy Enemy Day. Before this would be Make a New Enemy Day, so that you can learn to love him later on.
Purse Your Lips Day- This will help all husbands if they can get their wives to follow the spirit of this day. Also, students can persuade their profs not to lecture them-at least on this day. What a relief to a large section of the population it would be.
No Facebook Day. Difficult to implement, but innovative. Maybe in cahoots with the power company, you can remove the power supply to achieve this.
No Rajnikant Jokes Day. Almost impossible, but what the heck! We need 365 of these to sell our cards, remember?

'What a Day' Day
Who gives the official sanction to name these days I wonder. And on what basis? They are certainly not showing any compassion the way they are going about naming days.
I Like!
Thank you, Shraddha.
Hari, compassion for us, surely not.
Anil, 'What a Comment' Day?
Great one sir!
Waise, if I go by these 'Days', yesterday was my Rant against boss day
Thanks, Aditi. Now just remember, no ranting for 364 days!
