Anup Jalota Day <\/strong><\/p>\nAlso called Big Boss Day and Night, September 26 is a day to be celebrated by all single senior citizens pining for love and wanting to feel young again. Jalota\u2019s young feeling is his 28-year-old partner Jasleen Matharu and, as a cuddly, touchy-feely couple, they have proved that living in a glass house doesn\u2019t prevent people from throwing stones. He is titled Bhajan Samrat and that haunting voice is now a scandalous duet, but worth celebrating anyway, if only to prove that age is not a lust cause.<\/p>\n
Termite Extermination Day <\/strong><\/p>\nAlso in September, it is a day identified by BJP president Amit Shah when all termites will be declared illegal and ordered to leave the country or face extermination. Termite identifiers, led by the Assam chief minister, will look under every rock and crevice to check whether termites are carrying Aadhaar cards or have sneaked in through geographical cracks. In his speech inaugurating Termite Day, Shah said they were responsible for spreading the muck, though he pronounced it as deemak.<\/p>\n
Art of Leaving Day\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\nWith apologies to Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, this is a day of preying, not praying, and is in honour of public sector banks that made millionaires overnight by being so generous with their loans and lax repayment rules. There is some confusion about the exact day for celebrating the Art of Leaving but the Central Bureau of Intelligence will use its intelligence to map the departure dates of Vijay Mallya, Nirav Modi, Mehul Choksi, Jatin Mehta, the Sandesara brothers and assorted wives and relatives who perfected the Art of Leaving. Also, with apologies to one of India\u2019s leading MNCs, there is some talk of naming it Hindustan Leavers Day.<\/p>\n
Demonetisation Day <\/strong><\/p>\nDespite all signs to the contrary and many referring to it as Black Day, the government wants us to believe that this is a day to celebrate the elimination of black money from the financial system. To be celebrated on November 8, the day time stood still (as in endless, motionless queues at banks who labelled it Demonetisation Disaster), it will forever contain the elusive promise of Rs 15 lakh in every bank account, or to use the Latin phrase, note bene<\/em> (note well), translated into note ban.<\/p>\nRafaled Feathers Day <\/strong><\/p>\nIt is one deal that leaves the government with a vulnerable defence, but to calm ruffled feathers or Rafaled Feathers, a clutch of ministers clutching at straws, has been stoutly defending the defence deal, leaving more questions than answers in their flights of fancy. In France, the former president may have added some Hollandaise Sauce, but the government is in a fighting mood while defending its fighter purchase and praising it to the skies.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a day worth celebrating just to show how a deal for 36 fighter aircraft made in France is infinitely better than a deal for 128 aircraft made in India. Reverse Engineering?<\/p>\n
Page 3 Day <\/strong><\/p>\nWhat would we do without Page 3 to lighten the mood after reading such depressing stuff in the main newspaper, to give us our daily dose of Bollywood gossip, however inane and unimportant, and best of all, photos of beautiful people having fun to remind us that it is still possible to do so without being attacked, raped, lynched or being called anti-national.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
There seems to be no end to the celebrations. Retailers like Archies Cards must be weeping for joy because of the government\u2019s sudden desire to name celebratory days after some feel-good event, personality or policy, or, in some cases, because there was a gap in the calendar of 365 day celebrations.
