Origins Of Saturday
Today is Saturday – the final day of the week and the only off day in the week for us in Nepal. Located between Friday and Sunday, Saturday is a day for many to relax, spend time with the family, hang out with friends and catch up on pending work. Whatever our plans though, one thing we do not necessarily do is think about the day itself. Questions like what Saturday is, what it stands for and why it has the name it has may have never crossed our minds. But still, it is worth taking a peek at because why not. Saturday is a time for unloading the mind and looking at things that may be irrelevant but are at least mildly interesting.
