New Years!

Yet begins another year...

But not alone...

A New Year never comes alone.. With it begins everything that we could not achieve in our lives - hopes and dreams and plans and tasks and aspirations and relations and this and that and more and more...

At the beginning of any year and every year, we believe that this year is going to be different. And so, we all resolve to achieve all that we could not in our lives mostly at beginning of a year, considering it to be auspicious for its newness.

Ignoring that all the years that we witnessed were different…

Ignoring that like all the years, within a few days, our resolves will crumple and turn yellow like the pages of a calendar.

I always wonder how just a single moment, a single second that takes us from the last second of the last minute of the last hour of last day of a year to the first second of the first minute of the first day of another year could hold so much in itself!

What is that in that single moment that charms us?

I mean what is that which we could not achieve or start or end at this very moment? Why do we wait for days and months to make a move at the time of New Year? What is that exactly?

What is that for which we party all night - dance and eat and sing and shout - what preciously is the jubilation for?

A lot of people does not celebrate New Year nights or make New Year resolutions. And yet I haven't seen anything missing in their lives for missing such important trivial things of so many other lives.

So why do we go crazy at one particular turn on our calendar out of all the turns that we make throughout the year?

Why?
