Yet another Dec 31st, yet another slew of SMSes and mails wishing a happy new year...
Why do people always look forward to the new year? Why do we always look ahead, try and get rid of our present, and live for the future, promising (and many times deceiving) ourselves into feeling happy that the new year will bring in the success and happiness promised in those myriad messages?
What about those for whom a new year simply signifies the end of an era, the closure of a chapter of hope, and the dawn of a new day that will bring nothing but misery and the ultimate recognition that your hope is dead, that every new day from now on will only be one filled with loneliness, sadness, and failure?
When you wish them a Happy New Year, are you perhaps not rubbing it in?

That is because we live on hope.. And it is especially true when things are not going the way you want them to..
Many times that hope is just your imagination, but perhaps it is worth it as long as it keeps you going.
Well, I see it as just another occasion to remember friends and dear ones (just like we do on birthdays, festivals et al) and let them know that we wish nothing but the best always! Today in our busy(?)lives we need a reason to feel happy, celebrate and get in touch with people.. and new year provides one such occasion.
So krazy
Oh..
Dosnt matter
