Fifth Anniversary of the First Job You Were Fired From Day

So apparently yesterday was Daughter’s day. After Mother’s day, Father’s day, Grandparent’s day, and now this, Daughter’s day, we now need a Son’s day (which in India will probably get the feminists all riled up and protest that everyday is son’s day). But that’s not the focus of my rant here. My point here is (and very loosely at that) that to make the happy family portrait complete what about a Dog/Cat/Rat/Parrot/Hamster day? I mean if you can will several million dollars to your dog/cat, you can definitely have a day in its honour and give Hallmark another reason to make money.

And if you can have a day for your dog or hamster, why not have more days to keep us occupied?

Neighbours day – a chance to say thank you to all those who listen to you sing in the bathroom, and who in turn have awesome food smells wafting up to your window.

Domestic help day – seriously required to keep the Shanta bais of the world happy and your dishes done (I’m sure mothers will willingly give up their day just to make sure the maid is not unhappy).

Doodhwala day – one of those unique features of India bringing fresh milk right up to your doorstep every morning.

Dhobi day – where else will you get someone to do your laundry for you, iron the clothes, and deliver them back to you?

The first time you cooked a non-burnt meal day – a red letter day if any!

Getting your first salary day – celebrating that really ridiculous salary you were paid in an attempt to make your current pay seem brilliant.

Buying that perfect pair of shoes day – it’s just so difficult to get that just right pair of shoes.

Attending class in college for the first time (one of the 3 classes you attended) day – these are the days you spent away from the canteen and need mention.

Pot-Hole free day – someday there will be a day when you can drive in Bombay without any potholes. Someday.

Not being cheated by the rickshaw driver day – seriously I wait for one day when I don’t want to curse the rickshaw driver for looting me.

Bachchan family free day – the day the news is free of any member of this family and their activities (ranging from going to the temple to apologising for their language). And while we’re at it, a Saif-Kareena free day will not hurt anyone.

Sticking to your diet for a whole day day – will power has to be appreciated no?

More news than ads in the newspaper day – one day a newspaper will once more be for news. I hope.

Jilted lover’s/ I hate my ex day – an anti-valentine’s day if you will. Has scope don’t you think?

Writer’s block day – it happens with everyone. So why not celebrate while twiddling our thumbs?

Getting a reader for my blog day - :)

And while i'm at it, happy day after daughter's day to all of you.
