I was interested to find out the exact number working days generally present in an year.I collected the data from my attendance at office in 2010 and found out that I had almost 125 days Off during this fiscal.This is not at all a bad number in private software company,I feel the number of leaves given are as good as number of leaves given by any government organization. The number of working days in each month was as shown below.
Jan – 19 days
Feb – 19 days
March – 22 days
April – 21 days
May – 20 days
June – 22 days
July – 21 days
August – 21 days
September - 20 days
October – 20 days
November – 20 days
December – 22 days
This turns out to be 20.6 working days on an average every month, which means (12*20.6) 247 working days in an year. To be precise I got 118 days off in 2010, which is 33% of the time I had off. And 247 days in an year were working days, which is 67% of the total number of days were working days.
One aspect every person should consider is,the best way to employ this free time (off) effectively. The free time (120 days per year) can be used to for various interesting and development activities like to learn a new subject or to pursue hobby projects or to do social service or to pursue some new course or certification or for physical training. We need to utilize the free time to spend with family and our loved ones. We can go to watch some movies or to some adventure park or to some new place along with our family and spend quality time with them. We need to keep in mind that the free time ( off days ) are provided to us so that we can utilize these vacations for our personal use( for our personal development and for our family ). Hence there is no point in spending these special moments at office without any genuine reasons.
We should always try to put in our best efforts to contribute towards employers goals during 67% of working days and the remaining 33% of Off days should be used for one's personal development and to spend quality time with the family.Only then I feel a person can have balanced work life.

Almost 125 Days in a Year is Off::
Yes I Agree for what u have Said, But still out of 125 Days, in Each day How much we work effectively is also important - from 9Am-6Pm- Max i have seen 4-5Hr we(I) work, so in an avrg(5), 625Hr(125*5) we work, but to achive this we will go through So much pressure and still we(I) are not able to use our brain (as Albert Einstein used only 11% of his brain Capacity), So still we have to think!!!!!!!!!!!!!. I agree for Spending Time with Family is also equal important, But still we are not able to utilize the power in US.
