    Reason to go commando once every year? Try today!

    It amazes us to see how wacky people can be! Did you know June 22nd every year is celebrated as the No panties day ? Yes, today’s the day when the world can officially function without wearing …erm …panties (yes, we too hate saying the word over and over). As baffling as it may sound, this day made us stumble upon various other ‘raunchy’ days that you just wouldn’t believe exist!

    Take a look at some of the wackiest days we have no idea about!

    Steak and BJ Day – Celebrated on March 14th(a month after the Valentine’s Day), this day marks the existence of two things men love – Steak and Bl*wj*bs. Enough said.

    Working Naked Day – Celebrated on the first Friday of February every year, this day marks the freedom of working from home – Naked! Yeah, god knows how that would make people more productive but what the h*ll!

    Bathtub Party Day – OH yeah! A tub full of foam and warm water; and your friends in it (with you). Now that’s a great day celebrated on 5th December every year!

    World Toilet Day – Well now this day might sound like it should fall in the same category, but it actually is celebrated for a good cause. Falling on the 19th November, the World Toilet Day is celebrated to raise awareness about all people who do not have access to a toilet – despite the human right to water and sanitation.

    Underwear Day – August 5th marks the Underwear Day. There’s no need for an explanation here now is it?

    No Pants Day – Celebrated on the first Friday in May, here’s the day when it’s probably okay to walk out of the house with no pants!

  • 8 reasons why Holi is the worst festival ever!

    8 reasons why Holi is the worst festival ever!

    Ya ya we get it, some of us don’t really like this festival of colours but shamelessly love the fact that it’s one extra/added/blissful staying-at-home kinda holiday every year. Believe us; we get you and have all the reasons to hate Holi as well. Like why would one really want to get dirty with colours in the first place and later spend two hours in the shower scraping it off? Sounds stupid, right? Here, take a look at a few reasons that makes Holi such a drab and a truly unexciting festival

    1. Too many colours! Like who would want to see so many colours around them? Life in monochrome is way better. Isn’t it?

    2. Gujiyas! Like seriously, why would someone enjoy eating Gujiyas? That too when it is available only during one specific time of the year!

    3. Socialising and get-togethers? Spreading love and happiness through colours? Are you kidding? Why do all that when you can stay home and waste your life.

    4. Who needs the spirit of festivity? I mean there are so many different kinds of ‘spirits’ out there already right? (…that just harm your body and soul!)

    5. Memories year after year! No one needs all that!!!

    6. Arrival of the fresh spring season? Ah, winters are way better. Since we all (including animals) love freezing to death!

    7. They say Holi marks the harvesting of winter crop (Rabi) therefore it’s a super significant festival too! Well, all right but it’s just a holiday at the end of the day, right?

    8. An opportunity to forget all differences and indulge in unadulterated fun? Who would like to do that when those ‘differences’ between people are way above their happiness and peace?

    There! We don’t celebrate Holi!

    On a serious note, if you do think all these reasons still don’t make you want to put on those old clothes and walk out to be a part of Holi celebrations, then we’re sorry!

    Holi is one of those few festivals that are celebrated with unbridled zest in our country, irrespective of people’s religions, ethnicity and nativity etc. We urge you….go out and make memories. Forget the differences and mark new beginnings! Bye.

    If you are having relationship issues, use red and pink herbal gulal and mix sandalwood and rose petals for harmony & love in the family.

    If you are facing financial troubles, you should use green & yellow colours & mix a pinch of cinnamon powder. This will open the doors of wealth & avert any financial obstructions.

    For health issues, go for blue & purple colours with lavender fragrances and herbs. This will heal health problems & create a perfect balance of well being.

    To enhance concentration for students, they should use brown, red and gold and mix a pinch of turmeric & cardamom powder. This helps in enhancing focus and retention.
