Happy New Year



31 Dec - 1st Jan is the time when you get emails, SMS's, calls from your friends, relatives, not-so-known contacts, wishing all the happiness and success for the new year. You say Thanks and wish the same. How typical. It happens every year. 


Nobody knows what the new year has in store for him or her, yet we celebrate every 31st night as if some great things are waiting for us. If great things are really bound to happen, they will happen in any case, so what's this fuss all about? I'm not against celebrations, don't take me wrong; but all that I'm not for are these wishes or rather fake pre-defined wishes that people exchange. Is it for real? Do you really think the drunk bikers speeding at 60 kmph shouting "Happy New Year" at the top of their voice on some random roads of Bangalore care how your new year would be? People just say for the sake of saying. They don't mean it.


31st Dec is a day in the month of December and the next day, 1st Jan is a day in the month of January. They just happen to be in 2 different calendar years. That's it. Please don't glorify it.


Happy New Year - What ever makes you happy !!
