Today is Sunday here but weeks ago, the President of the country announced the suspension of classes and work in the capital of my country from Nov 16 to 18 (Monday to Wednesday). Our country is hosting the ASEAN Summit, and for safety and security reasons, they suspended work and classes. So, yes, five days of extra rest or extra work for me .

Rest day or holidays means more work for a mom and wife like me

If it is an ASEAN summit, I suppose one of our ministers or officials would be there too. India has often been a guest at ASEAN and we have been trying to accelerate trade and other ties(even Defense) with ASEAN countries. And with so many nations' heads or dignitaries, security requirements would be very very high.

That does seem a lot of work to make up if everyone stops for three days.
