Fruit Day

Life in a metropolis is so hectic that sometimes we forget that we have (or had) a mum, a dad or a lover. That's why we have Mum's Day, Dad's Day and Valentine's Day to remind us that we actually have a soul and the capability to love, and that it's important to show our love.

Not only does the hustle and bustle numb our emotions, it also trivializes our physical needs. So the 21st of March marks the World Sleep Day (which is my personal favourite) so as to remind people that you are only flesh and blood and obviously, you need sleep.

Now there is a freshly named Fruit Day coming in April (just caught a glimpse of the ad at the bus stop and didn't pay attention to the exact day) in the hope of encouraging students to eat more fruit. You may think it's just school stuff and students do need reminders. But actually some companies are more proactive that they have already made their own Fruit Day part of the corporate culture.

So what's next? Water Drinking Day or Pee Day?

Living in a city for too long, we have long forgotten what it means to live.
