1st April popularly know as “Fool’s Day” is around the corner. Its just one day far and all kids and youngsters must have made their plans how to trick others and make fool of them. This day brings loads of fun for pranksters as they can play loads of pranks on people. And right from adults to children each and every person can relate to this day as some time even they would have played prank on someone or would have been made fool of by someone. In India this entire April Month people play prank on one another but in countries like UK, Australia and South Africa the jokes only last until noon of 1st April, and someone who plays a trick after noon is called an "April Fool".
We all celebrate this “ April Fools” Day with full enthusasim but does any one know the origin of this day. There are many stories about origing of this day but the one that I know is that when France adopted the Gregorian Calendar in 1582. The Calendar which shifted the observance of New Year's Day from the end of March to the first of January. But some people ignored this change in calendar due to their ignorance and stubbornness and still continued to wish each other New Year on April 1st which was earlier their New Year and made fool of themselves. And thus they were said fool on this day. Thus this day became “April Fool’s Day” Or “All Fool’s Day”.
In India small children play pranks on each other. Even I remember playing pranks on this day. We use to wait for this day to arrive so that we could make fool of people. But the worst thing for me was my birthday falls in this month so most of the time I was made fool of by giving wired gifts on my birthday. One such April fools day I vividly remember is that when I played a prank on my father. I had dialed 161 on my phone which gives a false ring on the phone. I picked up the phone and told my father that his friend had called up as soon as he put the receiver on this ear & said ‘Hello’ I cried loudly “Happy April Fool’s Day”. This is one such incident but there are many such incidents that made this day special for me as a child and still make this day special for me.
So guys you all be set to play prank on your friends, family and other people and celebrate this “April Fool’s Day”. Wish you all a very “Happy All Fool’s Day”.
