😳WHY❓❓❓

Why Sunday is called Holiday?

When India was under British rule, the mill workers in India had to figure hard for all seven days of every week. They didn’t get any holiday or any quite leave to urge rest. … Sunday is that the day of the Hindu deity ‘Khandoba’. Hence Sunday should be declared as a holiday”.

A sealed pot, with a lot of steam inside, builds up high pressure, which helps food cook faster
