Thought for New Year's Eve

Today is the last day of the year and usually it’s the most overhyped day of a year on account of future excitement and largely as a cut day for partying. This over hype to enjoy the last day and to welcome a new year plays on everyone’s mind. I have also been part of this hype on numerous occasions.

But, this year has been quite different since the beginning and even the last day is turning out to be unpredictable with rains washing out everyone’s plan just like it did throughout the year. This year has been bitter-sweet for me and most of the people I know. Some good things started, a lot of things sustained and a hell lot went haywire. Unhappy, angry, despair, confused, lost, unwarranted changes and unfulfilled promises, this year was filled with all these elements.

So much going in a year, and the year itself not living up to expectations, when everyone was actually betting on it. I don’t know how much it’s worthwhile to place another bet especially for some one Indian like me. After all we have so many calendars in our country and there are so many new years going throughout the year. I think it really doesn’t matter which calendar year it is but sure time does matter and good time really does matter!!
