Traditions et al

gudi padwa tode!
'As per lunar calender today is the new year for hindus'........so reads one of my friends' facebook updates!
Gosh! Just how many new years do v have??? Calender, financial, diwali, gudi padwa, makar sakranti (is it aint it??) then religious flavored new years, .....
Then regional /local new years!
Phew!! So we are always taro-taaza due to new yrs all yr round!
But heyyyyy, do we let d old in us make way for the new? Do we let new thoughts ideas, come into our lives on a daily basis? Do we choose to really question our age-old traditions, verify them vid today's facts n realities n discard them, n let newer traditions blossom?
Do we discover a newness in ourselves, our families, our colleagues, our travel-mates, our travel modes, our furnitures, our friendships often??? ask yourselves and the ans will mostly be a no - thats
called ROUTINE:) I've learnt my lesson fr the day on this New year! Happy NEWNESS to all of us!
