Interesting.....

Did you know that nothing happened between 3 and 13 September 1752?

A month with whole of eleven days missing. This was the time England shifted from Roman Julian Calendar to the Gregorian Calendar, and the king of England ordered those 11 days to be wiped off the face of the month of September of 1752. (What couldn't a King do in those days?!) And yes, the workers worked for 11 days less, but got paid for the entire 30 days.

And that's how "Paid Leave" was born.Hail the King!!!

Brain Recycled

Recycling is when we make something new out of something old. What if we dump all the junk in our brains which we don't need and refresh our memories.So get rid of thoughts that have been worrying you..fights you've had with you friends and loved ones..all the office stress that you carry around and many more issues that go around in your daily life. Recycle them !
