This morning I saw a piece of news about 'today' i.e., 29th February, 2016. I cut it, scanned it, cleaned it with 'Levels' and applied torn effect with the 'Tear Off Script'.

This news tells us that what will happen if we do not add one day to every fourth year. Our 'Century' will be shorter by 24 days unless we make every fourth year of 366 days.

Those who will be born today, they should celebrate their birthday after every fourth year.

(Heading): "Today is the 'Leap Day' & Those Who Will be Born Today Will Have Their Birthday After Four Years."

"Islamabad (Reporter) Today is a leap year day and this year the month of February is of 29 days. Leap year comes after every 4 years. Today is also 29th February and those who will be born today will have their birthday after 4 years. In fact the Earth doesn't complete its circle around the Sun in full 365 days. But it takes 365 days, 5 Hours, 48 minutes, and 45 seconds. In this way after 4 years (all hours, minutes, and seconds) become one 1 complete day. To fulfil this deficiency, in Gregorian Calendar one day is added to February after every 4 years so and that year consists of 366 days. A year with 366 days is called a Leap Year. Our 'Century' will be shorter by 24 days unless we make every fourth year of 366 days."

(Now pardon me if there are some grammatical mistakes in this paragraph.)

Thanks for showing such interest in my language.
