New Years : The Perfect Marketting Spoof

1st January-NEW YEARS.Perhaps one of the biggest and most globally acclaimed event since ages or time unknown.
Folks have unknowingly given into the feel that since everyone's celebrating this one fine day why not all of us play along,fear that may be called "SPOIL SPORT".But how many of you have actually side-stepped and thought that,"why today? why this one fine day of all the 365 days? and why to make such a huge deal of something like this particular new day?"
Birthdays, anniversaries etc. calls for a celebration as you celebrate your triumph over this unfair world for yet! another year.
But,New Years...why????
If you keep to the logic that its the celebration of something new ,then similarly shoudn't we be celebrating New Month/week/day/hour/minute/second???
From my perspective I feel its perhaps the HUGEST marketting spoof to be ever pulled off..and that to fool proof..its like a globally spread virus and that too in a Windows Vista which is anyway(pardon my foul language)SCREWED ROYALLY! and maximum softwares and anti-viruses are not compatible in your system so you cant throw it out of your system even after knowing it exists and it keeps consuming more space with every passing moment!
Back to my point,you will be succumbed into this NEW YEARS MADNESS and before you know you'll find yourself dishing out bucks for buying something from a NEW YEARS SPECIAL DISCOUNT SALE,and you would be wanting to save yourself from being left with nothing to do at NEW YEARS EVE and you would dish out a lot of cash to be at some party which although surprisingly expensive, will turn out to be astonishingly disappointing!
Not only will the youngsters be raving mad with their ideas of spending their much saved pocket money on this HOLY DAY..but also will the elders be investing in the share and stock market in hopes that prices will shoot up/down and them winning lock,STOCK and two smoking barrels..part of which would probably be blown up at some social event to which they would be attending on THE NEW YEARS EVE.
Even after knowing all the side effects we subject ourselves to such sheer insanity after all:TO ERR IS TO HUMAN....

  1. i totally agree with u. celebrating new year's is a ridiculous idea. i think it's for meek people who believe in destiny. people who look at only the negatives that has happened in the past year and hope for the best in the next year instead of working for it.
