Happy New Year
With the ringing of midnight bell of 31st
December, Gregorian calendar increments its year by one count and we are
overwhelmed with the celebratory moods of Happy New Year. This time, 2016 has
arrived to welcome all of us with fresh ready to offer new opportunities, new reasons
to celebrate, introspect, strategize and execute on all fronts, personal,
professional, social or spiritual. Open up the box and fill the canvass with
your chosen colors of life, smiles and togetherness.
The celebrations and enthusiasms are displayed in
different colours all over the world. Should we not know when people had
started to mark New Year on 1st January and how people across the globe
celebrate it?
Many cultures celebrate the event in some manner.
The New Year day remains same in Gregorian, Roman or Julian calendars (46BC),
i.e., on 1st January. So, for so many thousand years, the world is celebrating New
Year on 1st of January. Many nations, such as the Czech Republic, Italy, Spain,
the UK, and the United States, mark 1st January as a national holiday. In some
part of Europe, however, new day was celebrated on many different dates based
on local declarations. Asian countries including India celebrate multiples New
Year Days, but one of these is mostly 1st of January. As on date, New Year celebrations
on 1st January are almost global.
What people mostly do on New Year
eve or in New Year? Well it varies as per geography, age, profession, gender
and all, but more or less most of us are found doing one or more of these
things. Read, review and tell whether you do it?
Making New Year Resolution or a
set of resolutions is the first of the habits. Before the hangover of 31st
night passes by, we come across such resolutions, like losing 10 Kg of weight,
rising early, earning a degree, teaching a lesson to your boss, taking family
on weekends and holidays, being in time, etc., etc. So what is weird in it?
These resolutions mostly don’t last long or do they? Have you set a New Year resolution
on any of the past New Year day, which had lasted for more than a month? Making
resolution and then maintaining it over a period of time is altogether a
chapter, which has treasures of success in it, but carrying forward a wrong
resolution can be funny an dangerous. Once you realize, better to drop such,
like teaching a lesson to your boss or landlord or parents, party every night,
etc. etc.
Forwarding messages to one and
all on social applications like facebook, whatsap, twitter and all has already
gained much of momentum. The real fun is when you receive the same message in
every group you are a part of. Be careful while forwarding the messages, filter
as per target audience. Avoid forwarding much during hangover. Better not to
repent later.
Sending bulk email and messages
in frequent among corporates. Good wishes to matter to all but it should be a
bit innovative, if you really want to impress people or mark presence of your
message in their inbox. Check the quotient of being formal, casual, funny,
humorous, short or interesting. Blend them in right proportion as per the
target audience. Sending same message across the spectrum makes you part of the
crowd only.
Eating too much of junk and oily
foods, sweets and high calory stuff is known to make you feel out of track
later on. So, reducing them is better as elimination is not suited to the New
Year Day.
Many more habits are still
untouched and will not be discussed here!
Let us celebrate and enlighten our
lives with fresh lease of prosperity, action, passion, hope, trust and
togetherness and make the world a better place to leave and leave a legacy so
that the coming generations also enjoy the coming years in the same or elevated
vigor.
Let us play, learn, earn and
enjoy to the fullest! Happy New Year to you all!
