Bank holiday

Here in Britain, there is what is called the 'bank holiday'... in simple language, a national holiday!  So is there is an occasion or reason for having the holiday?  None, apparently.  It is just that the banks are closed and hence no financial transactions are possible on that day.  So might as well close and stall the rest of the activities as well!  Hence the holiday across the country.

Back in India, most of our national holidays are religious feasts.  Some are patriotic days of commemoration.  However, each holiday has a story to tell.  Has a message to offer and remind people of.

Here, there's neither story nor message... just chill!
