We all love holidays. After all, they provide us some time to relax and have peace. Working in our hectic schedules, we hardly get time for ourselves. Forget Saturdays, some of us even work on Sundays! So, holidays are like a blessing to us. They are a necessity just like food, sleep and other things as a celebration is also required if we work so much.
