So. a new year is almost here. 2014 AD it will be called. So whats new? Just another day. The sun would continue to rise same as before etc etc. But what is the difference? New year resolutions! Why should they be any. I mean why specifically for new year? We can make any resolutions any time we want. And break them anytime too. The only difference i find is that i need to write down the date carefully. Its no longer -13 but -14. Thats it. But anyway, everyone wishes everyone 'happy new year'. And I reciprocate. Why? Because thats the norm. Does the new year signify a new begining as it is made out to be?
As a year comes to close and a new one begins, people in general tend to go into huddles of thought, trying to reevaluate their lives, loves and aspirations. It is somehow, as if, as 31st december rolls onto 1st january (not at the same time, mind you ... every region moves to the new year at its own sweet time because of all the time zones) a new chapter begins or something. But, in reality, the only major difference is that you need to change the last digit of the date. Thats it!
You want to make some resolutions, you can make it anytime .. no need to wait for the new year. But yeah, for those who don't need or want to make any, this is a fine time to attempt some
Okay, so how was 20013?
Personal lives? not good ... not good at all. Neither me nor any of my family members (specially mom) that I know well would venture to announce 2013 as one of the best years. In fact, I can argue that it was probably one of the worst. So, no points here either
So, in conclusion, it's good that 2013 ended. It did no good anyway.
So what about 2014 you may ask? Will it radically transform our lives? Will it stop global warming? Will it feed all the hungry and shelter all the homeless in the world? Will it be the year you find your loves and realise your ambitions? Will it herald a 'new golden age'? The answer to all the questions is NO. what do you expect! It's after all, just another year.
Trembling about the future, you might softly whisper the final question, "well, will it atleast be better than 2013?". I don’t know!!
And yes .. no new year resolutions for me ... no resolutions of any kind at all .. Guy writing this post claims he is perfect as he is :P. lets hope this year is radically different from the rest ;).
Enjoy life. Be it new year or old.
