END NOTE:
When I think of November, immediately my memory goes back to my school days. Our School English Teacher Susan Mathew taught us a one-line poem to remember the days in 12 months.
It goes like this:
“30 Days are September April June And November”
That was really very easy to remember the days in 12 months. :-)
