On New Year resolutions….

आस ने कहा सब्र कर मैं तो मिटठा चला ,

सब्र ने कहा दिल थाम ले मैं तो चलता बना। 

Hope said “have patience for I am leaving”, 

patience said “hold your breath for I am dying”

In today’s world, there are more excuses than before to be sad, frustrated and hopeless. Thanks to ads and access to have peak into celebrity and high end weddings and celebrations, we have more reasons to doubt validity of our simple joys and pleasures of life and more reasons to feel bad for self.

Inspite of technological advancement, we need to rely on films to discover our ‘Mohan Bhargavas, Mountain man, Sonam wanghchuk and such people. For every Mohan Bhargav we have hundreds of Sindhu tai (who is called ‘mother of orphans), Jadav Payeng (the forest man), Chewang Norphel and so many of them working silently, selflessly and bringing about huge change in the world around them. But we are more exposed to hate videos and destructive news than constructive and pro-active news! That too early in the morn! No doubt, we are wallowing in self-doubt, frustration, fear, hatred, stress and loads of negativity. So, New

Year Celebrations come as a beautiful excuse to make resolutions that would build our lives around hope and happiness!  New Year and such group celebration carry with them group or mass euphoria that is easy to pick up and get used to effortlessly. Hence, though it is just another day and no special day as per our culture (it applies to every culture where other culture other than English culture is followed), it is still a good excuse to revamp, rethink and recharge our thoughts around constructive and pro-active action rather than blaming and holding others responsible for our state and happiness!
