Its been a while since I wrote something. Not because I could not find anything interesting to write about; just because I got too busy catching up with life; the so called worldly affairs. I kind of piled up a list of things in my mind; thinking that when I get free I should write about these. But like someone said; you will never get time. It's always 24 hrs; you need to make time for things you like.
So here I am, forcing myself to stop doing the things I have been busy with for last couple of months; sitting down with my laptop, on the first Saturday morning of 2015 year; watching the snowfall outside my room, typing out this blog.
There are a bunch of things that I wanted to write; some strong social issues; a movie that I watched; couple of life changing events etc...But not today.
I am not a big fan of celebrating New year; or rather my New year night has always been simple at home relaxed one; nothing special. I don't make New years resolution either; because throughout the year I make and break resolutions; so I really don't need a special day to do that. Every now and then I sit back and think of my past; of what happened; how it happened; what were the other choices that could have changed that event or phase of my life etc..So I really don't have to wait for the year end to watch the flashback of my life. I don't keep a calendar in my room; so there is nothing to change on the wall or desk on the 1st of Jan every year. And as far as wishing the loved ones, remembering a few well wishers once a year; I do that during Deepavali/Diwali - wishing them a happy and prosperous new year.
So Jan 1st doesn't mean anything special to me. But its amazing to see how everyone welcomes the new year with so much excitement. Like looking forward to a better tomorrow. Hoping that things that dint go so well in previous year doesn't happen this year etc..etc.. And for most its just another occasion to get together with friends/family and celebrate.
Whatever Jan 1st means to all; it definitely brings in a positive energy, a new hope to most of the folks. The very thing like a new calendar, a new diary gives everyone a practical feeling of shutting away the old memories and starting afresh. Like a new beginning. That fills in people with an instant energy of doing something better. The resolutions people make ; although it lasts for only few days , but is a process that reminds them of those important things that they want to give themselves a chance to fulfill.
Because it comes once in 365 days, it probably gets all the attention it needs. But per me, everyday should be treated as Jan 1st -a fresh beginning! So wish you all a Happy New Year!!
