Now a days New Year parties are celeberated with pomp and bash similar to western countries in India. Star hotels are making huge profits by arranging parties and selling tickets at high rates as our folks beeline to grab the tickets.Do we need to really spend so much money and do a bash to welcome the new year when we have a large group of people who are below the poverty line trying to make both ends met to get a good meal?
Is it not noteworthy to take a note of what we have acheived in the last year to celeberate and welcome. New year is a calendar change which occurs every year and do we really need to go for a spree to welcome it.
Hope responsible Indians need to think if we really care for our society rather than for ourselves.
True... Spending lavishly need not be a metric for enjoyment or happiness. Thought proviking social subject Sethu.. Good one..!
ReplyDeleteThere are people who starve on the streets while some splurge money and waste food. The line that differentiates splurge from essential is thin and can be moved at will.
ReplyDeleteGood point for discussion.
