Ok so another year has passed by and it has become obligatory to bid farewell to the departing year and welcome the new year... and the only way 90% of the people do it is by getting drunk... In New Delhi alone 70 Crores worth of booze was sold out on December 31st .. I wonder why Guinness book of World records ignored it..... People partied all night at various locations and i was part of one of those parties where booze flowed more freely than water.... Why does anyone just celebrate a new year? Why not a new half year. quarter year... Why not a new month or a new day? We just need a reason to celebrate.....
Some say the year changes, but do they realize the significance, what happens after every 365 1/4th days, yeah a new year comes, but how many can actually say without thinking that the earth finishes one revolution around the sun. OK now we know the reason.. and thats why we celebrate... then what about earth finishing a rotation in 24 hours, shouldnt we celebrate that? How about moon finishing one revolution around the earth in 29 1/3 days... ok these happen too often and we cant celebrate things that happen too often and that's the reason we only celebrate New Year....
There are those who think its no big deal... well it is definitely no big deal for a lot of people, they are busy struggling to survive.. its just another day to them, same old life and same old struggle.... nothing changes except for the calendars....
I wouldnt say one shouldnt celebrate, one has to celebrate every moment of life, it is the greatest gift but what do we really achieve, we have fun, we lose track of time and the world around us for some time and then we are back to our busy lives.. those moments will linger for couple of days and then they become part of memories...
Did it make any difference to you or any one around you that would last long ? Did you change anything in your or someone else's life? Did you touch some one in a very special way ? Did you do anything new which would really make it really a NEW year and not Yet Another Year....
If you did... then.. A Very Happy New Year to you......

Yes ... i agree with imitaz .... it sounds like a science fiction.....
ReplyDeleteWe all try to make most of our special and important moments a happier one.........
Many people will be thinking about how to make next year better than this year and will probably even make a new year's resolution(s).
They will be trying to change old habits, create new ones, Most of their aims will probably be forgotten.
It is one such great moment to review your past and plan for your future, ofcourse for any real change to occur there has to be a long term commitment(life long commitment).
