So what? 1st or 7th its just a wast of a day. Nothing will happen. Go to work and honor your job whatever it is. And you will get the best. The country will prosper.

Why don't you make it on 1st of June call it June day instead of May day! As it is I am afraid that you may change New Year Day from 1st of January to 7 January. Please tell us whether Mahinda's astrologer advised you to do this change?.
