2008 is gone, and here we welcome 2009. we celebrate this change with a ritual involving music, food, wine and try to have the best of it all. a time when we make a million resolutions. we evaluate happenings of this day minutely as the omens of next 364 days to come. we hope that it has everything to make this day more than ordinary.
but at the end of it, it is -
just another day.
just another year.
just another passing moment.
... and this too shall pass!

You said it! I think what matters is, we make each and every day of each year count, that there's no looking back and thinking.. "I didn't do this" or "I wish I had done this".
ReplyDeleteI think psychologically it makes us feel rejuvenated to think it's the beginning of something, so it becomes exciting by default and that's the whole point. It's just something that we look forward to.
Happy New Year to you. :)
Happy New Year Nikesh!(Even if its just another year...)
