This Post may be a repeat but then so is the so called Bharat Bandh!
It would do the nation good to analyse the number of Bharat Bandh's called for in the past 20 years! who called them, the reasons for which they were called and the outcome (more precisely losses) as there could be hardly any gains!!!
What did the Bandh ( any of the ones called in the past 2 decades) do for the so often wished well for (atleast in the speeches) Aaam Aaadmi! Common Man! Garib Janta!!
Well! isn't the Supreme Court the highest authority in the Land. Then when it has said Bandhsare not allowed. Why do they still happen? Why are the law enforcers not doing what they are supposed to do. Enforce the Law! The Bharat Bandh will result in loss of not just money, but opportunities and life! If doctors and nurses don't reach out to their patients, will these who have called for the Bandh take the responsibility for the loss of life and limb?
Who is responsible for - that missed out deadline, the lost opportunity, the lost appointment, the low or no turnout at Weddings and other religious functions slated for today? (by any chance is it a good auspicious day today as per the Hindu Calendar? )

Take This Job and Shove It Day "Take this job and shove it. I ain't workin' here no more." May 31st offers a unique occasion for career malcontents or even ambitious workers seeking new challenges. It's Take This Job and Shove It Day. The concept stems from an old American country song, written by David Allan Coe and covered by Johnny Paycheck. Paycheck was born on May 31, 1941.

World No-Tobacco Day Since 1987, May 31st has been known as World No-Tobacco Day. The World Health Organization(WHO) proclaimed this holiday to raise public awareness of the health risks of tobacco.
