International Men's Day

I always wondered if there is any special day for men, as Marh 8th is celebrated as Women's day, worldwide. To my surprise, yes we have!!!

According to wikipedia, first Saturday of November is International Men's Day and in India its 19th Nov.

Indian Men's rights organisation Save Indian Family has started an International campaign to build consensus on IMD on November 19th. As a first step, it has accepted 19th November to be celebrated in India as Men's Day. With this at least 20% of world's population accepts 19th November as International Men's Day.

More interesting is with this web site for that http://www.mensday.in/, which quotes

Some bosses in Software Companies in Bangalore decide to give multiplex movie tickets to their team members. If you work in a Software Company in Bangalore, write your views and you can win* multiplex tickets.

I hardly remember a 1980s TV serial name (in DD), in which the hero would be dreaming about living in a women dominated society and those Men fighting for their basic rights. Things have not got that worse but celebrating a day for us is definitely needed.





God save these Men!!!
