The day that never was

I am been regularly posting again in my blog, I think this distinctive merit needs to be attributed to a certain person that has been urging me on, so I'm taking this opportunity to thank that special someone. Thanks ya!

Anyway coming back to my posts, ever wondered about the inccesant adverts that have been plastered all over our communicative media like the dailies, radio, and TV? Another day is beckoning towards us and it's father's day! Last week it was mother's day, err or was it last month? Fact is I have been mystified by the number of days that is attributed to various groups of people, nurses, labour, secretary, police, army, and even an animals and what not, have a special day's attributed to them.

Coming back; there are days to honour neighbours, civil servants and even days for those madly in love. The good 'ole Valentines's day, there is a chinese version of Valentines, Indian version and so and so forth. There are even days attributed to people that had died, both chinese, indian and our caucasion counterparts. All in all a very good time for "Days".

Mind you, the people in general loves days that have a special meaning, I do to in fact, but it's been bugging that there these special days are overly commercialised. Big hotels would hold special dinners and function to "celebrate" all these days, not because that actually believe in it, but merely to rake in a handsome profit. Shopping complexes would hold "special" sales and events to mark the days. Govermental organisation would organise functions to "appreciate" these certain groups of people. NGO's would held carnivals to appreciate those, and even animals get their own day.

Thus you would think that it would be in their best interests to have all the days that they want and celebrate it merely for financialy gratification or for recognistion and propagation of it's own agenda. But there is something that does not add up. Has anyone ever notice that there is NO Doctor's day?
