20th Jan 2015
31 December..the last day of the year 2014..Interestingly one week before of this day whom ever I bumped into ask me, or I notice each other asking," where are you going for new years? what is special for 31? which club, pub, hotel have you done your bookings"? Etc etc..! it is like the whole world is partying. AS if that day is a must for one and all to party. What happens, I was thinking..between that 2014 December 31 midnight, and before the sunrise of Jan1st 2015? Is that when the year changes just its digits...?, Or some Miracle or magic going to happen for one and all to party? AS the count down begins, is everything going to be "still"? The next morn sun is going to rise from west instead of east? What exactly that magical moment brings in peoples lives?
AS a child I remember getting in to new class, and smelling the newness of the books, if they were new that is. Expectantly waiting for the new teachers, or meeting new friends, being in new places, staying in a new neighborhood, Being the new bride,and getting in to a new family! Becoming a brand new mom/parent!. Newness is always a mixture of excitement, fear of the unknown, inhibition, and hesitancy and of course celebration too! But why so much excitement for New year? What is going to change in our lives, I wonder. It is the same us, same air we are going to breath, smell. Same people we continue to live with and mingle. So why New year is so special for every one? As I was thinking more about it, watching the count down in different parts of the world, strangers hugging and wishing each other...at that point of Midnight...Just before the next years sunrise..can life change for people who are suffering from pain? Can death take a break, since its a new yr? The ones who are critical get better miraculously? The doctors on night call don't need to attend the patients? the so many night security guards watching the so many houses, buildings, organisations..get a break,n go to peaceful sound sleep? The mothers who are going through labor pains miraculously have painless labors? Or the babies who are entering this world will post pone their entry?Wish it was like that right? which of this is going to happen between the midnight and before the sunrise? If the sun was to rise from west this one day,..then I would sit through all night waiting..,just to watch it, since that will be the most amazing magical sight ever, after the Gods creation. I feel 31 December, the mid night or before the next sunrise is like any other day, except that it is hyped up! Hyped up by the people in business, who are going to benefit from these parties, and celebrations. From the guys who cell the balloons, to star hotels who offer awesome prizes! From DJs to caterers! From online sales to mall-shop discount offers. That one day due to this hype and excitement every one want to leave their hair and limbs lose..and jive..Just so that they can welcome the New Year, the new sunrise. But if from cracking a puzzle, solving a problem, wiping a tear, or bringing a laughter..hugging old and young or playing in the rain... all these simple sounding stuff brings out that "Yeeee" I have done it feeling in one,then is it not celebration in itself? Every moment, every happy feeling like this need to be enjoyed and felt deeply, and happily.Agree?? If this way life is looked at and celebrated each and every happy feeling then 2013 or 2014.. one wont wait for that one day, one moment!The special midnight and more special before sunrise will be like any other day! Except that it is a new calender! Even the dates and days wont change. It is all in our minds..! Do you want to make just one day special? or celebrate every day with simple victories, wins? I definitely had my share of new yr parties n fun in the past, so nope I am not against New year parties or celebrations at all..but these thoughts came to my mind now so thought will share, since the calender did change from 2014..after the midnight and before the sunrise..So a very happy 2015 to one and all!
