Mario Day

 

We celebrate Mario Day on March 10 each year, because March 10, written as "Mar10" looks like Mario's name. The friendly mustached Mario character was initially released by Nintendo in 1985 --- doesn't that make you feel old? Since then, Mario has appeared in around 200 different games, and the Mario games have claimed the title of the best selling video game in history, beating out popular competitors like Pokemon.

Mario, his brother Luigi, Princess Peach, and all the other "Super Mario World" are celebrated on Mario Day on March 10. 

Madhavrao Scindia Birth Anniversary

 

Madhavrao Scindia, born on 10 March 1945, was an Indian politician and minister from the Indian National Congress. Earlier in 1961, he had become the titular (having a position, status or title, without any real authority or power) being a descendant of the Scindia dynasty of the Marathas. However, in the 26th amendment to the Constitution of India promulgated in 1971, the Government of India abolished all official symbols of princely India, including titles, privileges and remuneration (privy purses).
