new year

the new year...hmmm...whats the difference....01/01/2005...another day as usual. But we people need "excuses" to celebrate, a birthday or an aniversary, diwali or holi, pongal or baisakhi, eid or x-mas,a sunny day or a rainy day, a sunday or a friday. A significent market is driven by and driving these moments of celebration. Everything seems so artificial at times, as if we are forced to be part of this whole thing, just because everyone seems to celebrate and its cinical not to be involved.
