Celebration?

Is there a reason to celebrate? Another year has gone by and in routine fashion we have welcomed another new year. I have both knowingly and unknowingly welcomed 32 years already. Maybe many more to come, but i fail to see purpose. Do I welcome every new day or every new week or new month with the same enthusiasm...I do not. Maybe there is no great hype abt it, nothing to celebrate.

Most of us were lucky enough to see the turn of a century and also the coming of a new millenium. But did it make a diffence. I for one remember that day alone stranded between two sets of friends I got separated from in the sea of people on the sands of Goa. So many people wishing each other, and being all alone in that multitude of people is something to be experienced at your own risk.

That not really being the point, I felt the same on 31st or on 1st, maybe more inebriate, coz i'm 'celebrating' something that I can't feel. It's just a habit now, I'll do the same this new years eve as well. Nothing has changed, nothing will as another year will pass by and I'll be back celebrating.

Probably celebrating each day will help...maybe every minute every second. Tough task eh!
