Dear All,
I have been collecting information from various resources regarding the special properties being associated with today's date.
It's already 5th June today. So, today I will share properties from the dates (numbers) 1 to 5.
In future I would prefer to post day wise.
In case you also wish to share something interesting kindly do it.
Any suggestions are also welcome.
