In the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, the British author Douglas Adams states that, a towel is the most important item a hitchhiker can have. He also mentions that “to know where one’s towel is” means to be in control of one’s own life. As a tribute to the author Douglas Adams, his fans celebrate ‘Towel Day’ every year on 25 May.
