New Year- What is a new year

Every year on 31st Dec night millions of people celebrate new year night by partying and by burning crackers. Crackers are busted at thousands of places to mark the beginning of the new year. Almost all pubs, hotels and restaurants remain full and people throng the all available party spaces to enjoy the beginning of the new calendar year. Little anyone thinks about why we celebrate or what is the significance of the change of date or rather say the change of the year. Some say the new year will bring prosperity and good health and some say the new year will be the best year of their life. But, what actually happens or will happen no one knows.

Well, technically if you see, the new year is nothing but a change of calendar date. It is just the 1st day of the year. In western countries since this is so close to Christmas, which is celebrated on 25th Dec, the celebration becomes even more intense. People celebrate the start of the year with full joy and happiness. People pray for prosperity for all and a peaceful world. But, will this wish bring prosperity or not, no one really cares. More than anything, this holiday time generates a huge revenue for eateries, shopping malls, gift shops etc. So, it has economic significance too.

I believe that merely celebrating new year will not do any good to anyone. Nor will wishing prosperity and happiness. Real change will happen when we will really work on our goals. Real change will happen when we will really give happiness to the needy. Well, the question may arise on how to make that possible? Then there are plenty of ways. Start working on your goal. First, try to achieve your goal. More than anything achieving your own goal gives more satisfaction and will-power to do good to the society. Once, you are convinced that you can actually do something you aspire to, the next all hurdles will become easy. Believe in one thing and put all your efforts to get that. If you can do that that will be the best thing for the new year.

Do something new. Aspire something new. Achieve something new and reach that level. Be it your body, mind or soul. If you start and keep doing that for a certain period of time, body, mind, soul all will be in sync and will aid in your aspirations. So, unless you do something new, the new year is merely a one-day celebration. It is same as the last year and only the date and year has changed.

Politically Correct!

Politics is a science which relates to the governance of an area or a land. Politicians are those who follow politics but that is not the ideal condition. So, let's call the Politicians are those who claim to have following the politics. That said, governance can be of any form. It may be good, bad or in-between-good-bad for the people associated. No dictionary in this world defines politics as the good governance. But again good governance is a relative term. A government which doesn't enable its people and just provide free-bees may be a good government in the eyes of few people but actually is the worst in the long run. Making people dependent on some things and making those available to people without any efforts is worst kind of governance. A government which makes way to achieve things easy for people rather than making things availability easy is one of the best kind of governments. Take an example - A popular government makes rice available at 3 Rs per kg to the belo

The Biggest Fear

The biggest fear was that he would lose all that he possessed? He was in a dilemma whether to take that step or not. But his entire future was dependent on that. He can't evade this. All he can do is trying knowing things more and more to hedge his risk. But, is he aware of kind of risk he will be in? Is he aware of the life-threatening phases he has to go through? Sometimes, it seems he knows all, yet not ready to recognize, for his mantra of life is-"Will do things as and when they will come". He was a toddler when that terrible incident happened. His young age didn't let him understand what actually happened. All he was told that - "Your Papa will never come back, he went up to the stars". He used to ask people to take him to stars, for his Papa was everything and all he wants was to play with him. Though he loved his mother also, at times she will be cooking the meal for him. Many times he tried to plan a journey to stars but no one would tell him the

Life Goals

Life goals are something which you desire to achieve and strive for it. It has been said that almost all people on earth have at least one life goal and people strive to achieve that. But, by any means, this number is by far much larger. There are people who don't strive and make and attempts. The reasons can be multiple but again there is a sizable number. The world is full of people those who just want a good life but don't strive for it. Good life or per say good things come with the price tag. Price may not be monetary but efforts in terms of time and energy. Life goals are always worth striving for. No matter what it takes some people go all out and achieve what they desire. When God created life, he created that for the humans to strive and make life better for them. The humans did the same. There was a jungle law - the survival of the fittest. The humans were also the part of the natural law. That prompted and compelled the humans to become fitter and best and that is
