The main reason behind celebrating National Backward Day is to do everything backward. It is fun to do things reverse at the times which we do daily. One of the ways can be writing reverse poetry which you can start reading from top to bottom or bottom to top for getting the meaning of the poem.
Leonardo da Vinci was a person who did everything backward. He did mirror writing which can be read easily when placed in front of the mirror. The reason behind him doing so might be to avoid people stealing his ideas or avoiding religious punishment. Some people also say that he wanted to prevent ink from spreading.
It is also said that Vinci was left-handed so writing things in reverse was easy for him. The day was made by two women Sarah Nichole Miller and Megan Emily Scott who were milking cows and came up with the idea of art and craft.
They created the day on January 31 and it has remained so since then. On this day, we can try doing few activities we love in reverse just for the fun of it.
