Yesterday was a different kind of new year eve for me. The whole day went on thinking that this is also gonna be the same just like every year. Everyone making plans to go out at clubs , resorts , banquets , hanging out with friends and me same like everytime sitting in front of a television screen (my favourite passtime :P). It seriously hurts if you are not a part of the above mentioned. No such friends with whom you can hangout , no clubbing or partying because you are not an alcoholic as your FRIENDS want you to. It all hurt you from inside but this time around it was different. There were few questions which balanced all the stuff and those were the questions I asked myself on this new year eve..Does everyone know why we celebrate this occasion. ? Is everyone celebrating ? Are those people on the footpath who are struggling to cover their shivering bodies in chilly delhi nights celebrating ?
These just made me move away from all my inner pains and made me ponder over the fact that can we just spend the money of all clubbing activities or our partying on giving them clothes and quilts.Can we just help them.
What can be a nicer way than starting a fresh year with a noble work. Atleast its better than riding the danger of drunken driving.
They never complain that they cant celebrate new year , atleast I haven't heard it of , all they want is a shelter to keep themselves warm. These people showed me that my inner pains of not going on a party or hanging out are just so very small in front of their but still no complaints. Lesson I learned is that we tend to aggravate small things so much that the larger picture (in this case to analyse the goods you did and carry the same and also the wrongs which you did and make amends for the coming year) is totally ignored. The very purpose is defeated.
At last it was a different new year eve for me this time around. And yes I was no more sad to miss on the parties rather I am happy that I have missed them.
