The New Year

Three days ago, fireworks were flying in the night sky all over the world. While their beauty was admired by many with hopeful anticipation for the new year, it lasted in a split second and the night was just any other night, albeit smokier.

Just like that, it is now the third day of January 2015 and time would not offer mercy to slow down for anyone. Once the festive mood in us comes to a pause, we have to pick up the pace and start the rat race that is the life we are living these days.

Regardless of what the new year has installed for us, we should retain some of that festiveness inside of us. For some reasons, 2014 seemed to clog up with tragedies (more so than usual) and some sadness lingers in the air, even till now. That is why the flame of the festiveness must remain burning even if it's at a low fire. For once it goes out, it would be a challenge to ignite it again.

My message to all of you is to keep your heads up and keep that festiveness burning. It's a start of a new year and this is your chance to rev up your flames and celebrate.
