Today is World No-Google Day

I was accidentally googling something and found out that the World Teacher's Day is Oct.5, not Sept.5 as celebrated in India. World Children's Day is celebrated on Oct.20 and not on Nov.14 (as in India). It appears Indians are poor at marketing themselves in areas where there is an opportunity. On the other hand, a Valentine's Day or a Halloweens or a Mother's Day or Father's Day and even such day...s as today - World Cancer Day are celebrated without questioning. Mothers Day and Fathers Day should be celebrated everyday - and doesnt just apply to NRIs who dont even visit their parents once an year. Incidentally, World Book Day or World Reading Day, if I get it right, is celebrated on William Shakespeare's Day on April 23. I dont know if it helps in improving reading habits - does it mean you can read once a year and then you are done with it for the next 365 days? Anyways, the point is clear: Indians are pathetic at marketing their own icons of Peace/Children/Teachers/Art(like Tagore)/Love(Mother Theresa)/Science(CV Raman) to the world outside. Incidentally, my wife's favorite day of the year is 7th March - World Mathematics Day - because she is a mathematician! And thats not the birthday of Srinivas Ramujam either! Jocularly, some Indians dont know what to do on a Father's Day too! An ill-informed friend of mine, years back, bet on a Rs.500 that Father's Day means October 2nd - because thats the birthday of the father of the nation!
