2012-Start and Journey Forth...

I know that all would think I am mad to welcome the year 2012 at the fag end of the month February...But I was waiting for everyone to complete New year celeberation and V day celeberation and add comments...

In India New year is celeberated with great cheer and happiness....Welcome sign but we should also make sure that we shouldn't hurt the feelings and centiments of other people...

How do you cleberate your new Year?

When we ask the above question to 10 people, 7-8 of them will say that they go to late night parties and spend lavishly and welcome new year. 2-3 of them will say that they will stay at home and avoid being on the road...

How many of them say that I cleberate New year in an old age home or an orphange with the elders/Kids there giving them hope and trust that this new year will bring brightness to their life?

I experienced the trauma of chennai road on new year night as I was travelling back from my BILs house which is just about 10 kms from mine.

My car was delliberatively stopped at 3-4 places by a drunken mob which asked/forced me to down my windows and wish them a happy new year-- The sad part is that the group was mostly high school or college going children...Does this relate to where our younger society is taken to by the corrupt politicians?

Post Jan 1st all were waiting for Jan 26th to rain offers to people and then came Feb 14th were the couple offers were promoted...Slashed prices, 50-70% off sales...Are these possible or true? One of my friend who is in the retail industry shared that never they sell anything below their cost price + Profit Margin...This are just marketing strategies to wee in crowd....Once they see this pamplets are in then they convert that to business...So Let us be Aware...

You will get the next Pamplet on April 14th.....So are you all waiting for it?
