Okay, I’ve borrowed the headline term from today’s TOI story. But pray read it again, perhaps you’ll appreciate why I like it.
The month has just passed, but what a month it was! It brought holidays in plenty, as much as half the month, especially so for the privileged government employees. Let’s examine.
It started with Mahatma’s birthday, and ended with a bandh – sorry Bangla Achol. In between there were the festive days – the Mahalaya, the Id, the Durga Puja and the Lakshmi Puja – all coming in rapid succession.
Add to the list the weekend offs. What you get is there were just 16 working days in the whole month. Mind you the state government employees abstained from work on Oct 30 observing a no-one-knows strike.
The month of November is not bad either, except that bhai-phonta has clashed with a Sunday. Oh, what a waste..!
