It has been calculated for the admissible total working hours in a week... thus they selected a day in the middle of the month in conjunction with a Sunday...

According to the book of Genesis in the Bible, the world was created in six days and the seventh day (Saturday) was a day of rest and worship. The ancient Egyptians also considered this day a day of rest and play.
Saturday is the Sabbath among the Jews and the only day named after a Roman God, Saturn. In support of this historical belief, across cultures, most employers give their workers either a half day or a full holiday on this day.
Saturn is the second-largest planet in the solar system and hence second Saturday is a holiday.

Saturday is a working day normally, the Sunday is actually a legal holiday, so bazaars are closed. People need to go any buy their things on a working day, so they came up with this idea, that every second saturday (which is a working day) will be a holiday, to facilitate so that no body grumbles, its just to keep things in pattern, uniformed.

Tell me one good reason as to why not on a second saturday?Asking a question just for the sake of asking is really asking for a trouble.

Breaks are needed to complete pending works, spare time with children and family members, write letters, meeting friends- just to remain human beings and not converting ourselves into machines.
