Whats so rare about February 2017?
This morning, I was a little tricked from the WhatsApp forward I received and it somewhere got my attention. February 2017 is not only going to be all about Valentines Day but this is something special, which happens once in 823 years! Chinese term this as Money Bags as this is considered to be the luckiest month with pocket full of money. *Sigh! *
February 2017 isn’t a leap year with 29 days so we have 28 days. Whats mystifying is the fact that February 2017 has seven days repeating four times equally. This makes it a month that has four Sundays, four Mondays, four Tuesdays, four Wednesdays, four Thursdays, four Fridays and four Saturdays.
Confused
To satiate my amusement and curiosity, I googled the entire thing. What I understood was something that required plain common sense so, I thought of passing it on to all my readers. So, the fact of the matter is –
Except for the leap year, all Februaries have 28 days and eventually have four weeks. So, if the first day of the month starts on Sunday, the last day of the month will be Saturday. Hence, all Februaries have four Sundays, four Mondays, four Tuesdays, four Wednesdays, four Thursdays, four Fridays and four Saturdays. *Phew! *
If it’s a leap year, the month will have five days, which means if the leap February starts with a Monday, then there will be five Mondays!
The most interesting part of this WhatsApp forward was, Send it to at least five people, or five groups and you’ll get loads of money in February! *Tears of joy! *
Couples from a group/club called ‘The Core’ were spotted having a blast at a ‘Hollywood Oscar Night’ themed party recently organised at Chattarpur Farms in Nagpur. The party was hosted by Rupali and Dhiraj Agrawal with Priyanka and Ashwin Jain.
During the night, couples and individuals were given taglines and awards based on their respective personalities. The award categories were ‘Enthusiastic and dynamic couple,’ Modern Romeo and Juliet, etc. After the award ceremony couple danced and sung together to make the night memorable.

Car, that can transform into aircraft in 135 seconds, gets airworthiness certification in Slovakia
‘AirCar’ manufactured by Klein Vision
A car, which can transform into an aircraft in two minutes and 15 seconds, has been issued with a certificate of airworthiness by the Slovak Transport Authority. The hybrid car-aircraft, which is capable of hitting speeds over 100mph (160kmh) and altitudes above 8,000ft (2,500m), is equipped with a BMW engine and runs on regular petrol-pump fuel.
The ‘Aircar’ has been manufactured by Klein Vision, which said that the certification followed 70 hours of flight testing and more than 200 take-offs and landings. Professor Stefan Klein, Founder of Klein Vision, said: “AirCar certification opens the door for mass production of very efficient flying cars.” He added: “It is official and the final confirmation of our ability to change mid-distance travel forever.”
In June 2021, the flying car completed a 35-minute flight between international airports in Nitra and Bratislava, Slovakia. Klein Vision told BBC News that it plans to fly to London from Paris in near future.
Rene Molnar, director, Civil Aviation, Transport Authority of Slovakia, said: Transportation Authority carefully monitored all stages of unique AirCar development from its start in 2017. Transportation safety is our highest priority. AirCar combines top innovations with safety measures in line with EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency) standards. It defines a new category of a sports car and a reliable aircraft.
