Explanation

Republic Day is January 26th, which was a Saturday. The next month is February. January has 31 days. From Saturday Jan 26, adding 18 days (to Feb 14) gives us 18 mod 7 = 4 days ahead. Saturday + 4 = Wednesday. But wait: Jan 26 (Sat), Feb 2 (Sat), Feb 9 (Sat), Feb 14 would be Thursday. Actually let me recalculate: Jan 27 (Sun), Jan 28 (Mon), Jan 29 (Tue), Jan 30 (Wed), Jan 31 (Thu), Feb 1 (Fri), Feb 2 (Sat), Feb 9 (Sat), Feb 14 is Thursday.
