New year, new day..! Lost essence

Going back in my childhood, I was always intrigued by the fact why there was so aplomb and joy in the festivals. But still it was enthralling to embellish the home and wear new dresses and play around the house. And especially the New Year’s Eve was the day best known for its party all night tag. I was still new to it, enjoyed it as it was the one day of the year that I was allowed to stay awake till midnight and make loud noise at top of my larynx. There was some magic in the air which even the wind wished in our eyes new year...!

    As I grew into adolescence, the magic seemed to disappear. Every one engrossed in their own world of work, booze and making money. For children it has become more of a winter vacation rather than a New Year, new day, new challenges, new sweet nothings, new wishes and new dreams. People are not associating it with religious content, but with drunken revelry and insane road trips with friends unknown.

    I still cannot believe that how can people suddenly forget the true essence of New Year...

It is that day where there leads a bright path ahead...

It is that day which whispers us to leave all the worries behind and start a lucent day...

It is that day which marks the exchange of greetings and happy wishes...

It is that day where reaching someone through calls can be equivalent to impossible :P...

It is that day where we yearn to spend with our loved ones through any means...

It is that day where a family awaits to have a glimpse of apple of their eye that had been in exile for years due to work...

These memories are indescribable and culmination of these is an awesome feeling to relive. But with the lucrative job on the edge, people have loved to devote this day immersed in work, work and work. Hats off to their dedication to money and lifeless life..!!

Lost innocence...

                    The other day ,I saw a little girl vying for her mother's attention just to grab her love and care which she was devoid of.She tried to hold her mother's sari and never let it go. Her mother whined at her and left hurriedly. What was her fault? Nothing. She just tried to ensure her share of love in her account. This is the daily tale of every child in this modern society.
 
                                 Modernization has played a havoc in our lives.Parents leave their apple of their eyes to the mercy of lifeless toys.And derive satisfaction at this little contribution of their's in their child's growth.They feel their child has enough of toys and gadgets to grow smart and enjoy life.But only the child can feel his colorless life without his sole companion-parents..!! In this process , the child learns to be self dependent and at this fragile stage,there is no one to advice or give ample support.Thus becomes the base for this arrogant,needless to say stubborn and reckless teenagers of the present world.Everyone can see the spoilt brat face but no one cares to peek into the lost innocence of that spoilt brat.

              When it was his time to play hide and seek with his parents,he was forced to seek his parents's hidden attention behind the work load. When it was his time to go horse riding on his father's back,he was forced to see his father's back when he yearned for his care.When it was time to play and fight with his cousins,he was forced to fight back the loneliness and isolation he had to suffer his whole childhood. When it was his time to fiddle with his father's hair,he was forced to fiddle with his life and make it even more messy. When it was time to sleep blissfully in his life giver's lap,he was forced to sleep on his lifeless companion,his teddy. 

                              This is today's youth life no one can change..until and unless god come and intervene in this busy and buzzing life...!
