New Year!!

The time that everyone has been waiting for has finally come. The hands of my clock congratulate each other. I hear the sound of those disturbing crackers. For me its just another day but I have to change the calender today.

I can’t understand a phenomenon. People follow a system of measuring time for their convenience. It is they who invented a calender and a way to have a count on the time. And strangely they celebrate the bloody first day as a special day. I wonder why they do it. What is special about the first day? I don’t find a reason to throw parties.

People may say that they want a day to look back and think. Some say they will take new resolutions. What were they doing till then? Some say they want to start new things like business or release a movie (in India) in a new year. Some even postpone proposing to girls to new year or a valentine day, damn they. Some start planning for future on that day.

Let’s think now at least. Do we need a full damn year gap to do good things. Can’t we introspect everyday? Can’t we think that we should improve ourselves every dawn or even every hour? If one damn day is that important the remaining 52 weeks are more important. Celebrating every second of your life is much more important.

People take oaths in a new year day. Surrounded by cakes and wishes they will be into celebration rather then introspection. And every resolution is forgotten. Nothing is done till next new year comes. So life goes on. We have roughly sixty years of life and we are all humans. Perfecting ourselves will need a lot of efforts. Sixty times in sixty new years just won’t do. Saints say if we want to cultivate a habit you should do that at least 21 times. So, Keizen rules are required, ‘constant improvement’. So try better ones like a new day, new minute, new second.
