NOVEMBER- A month worth Remembering

"I know that I have died before – once in November." — Anne Sexton

THERE ARE 12 MONTHS IN A YEAR . EVERY MONTH HAS IT'S OWN IMPORTANCE. FESTIVALS , BIRTHDAYS, NATIONAL DAYS  ARRIVE IN EVERY MONTH. SOME MONTHS SEE MORE HOLIDAYS AS COMPARED TO OTHERS. BUT ACCORDING TO THE RECENT EVENTS , I HAVE SEEN THAT NOVEMBER IS BECOMING THE MOST REMEMBERED MONTH. EVERY MAJOR TRAGEDY OF THAT YEAR HAPPENS IN THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER. NOT ONLY TRAGEDIES BUT SOME HISTORIC EVENTS ALSO HAPPEN IN NOVEMBER. NOVEMBER IS DERIVED FROM THE LATIN WORD NOVEM WHICH MEANS NINE AND IT WAS THE NINTH MONTH IN ROMAN CALENDAR I RESEARCHED AND FOUND SOME OF THE EVENTS THAT TOOK PLACE IN NOVEMBER.
