CELEBRATE FOR WHAT YOU ACHIEVE

2022 NEW YEAR TO COMMEMORATE THEM WHO LOST THEIR LIFE IN COVID-19 PANDEMIC

MATURITY IS THAT WHEN YOU CELEBRATE YOUR ACHIEVEMENTS OF LAST YEAR & LEARN FROM YOUR ALL ONE YEAR MISTAKES TO NOT TO REPEAT IT AGAIN IN THIS NEW YEAR

2022 may be celebration for many people who still immature to understand what is going around us in this world. Many of them celebrating it by purchasing cards or gift or playing crackers,ignoring the lost of last year which world have faced and still facing by many of our friends & relatives. Think about them who lost someone in corona pandemic. The last  two year were came to give us the lesson of our ignorance towards the reality. Lets this year be begin with atleast one initiation by all of you for them who are just living for their survival, who needs our supports. Kindly begin this year with a plant in your family. I always emphasized on it because it essential for our survival on this earth. The speed of urbanisation is much more faster than afforestation, which great cause of concern for us as may be you die before that harsh condition of earth but what will happen to your generation. 

One more important issue which all of us have to realise that is UNITY in INDIA, there may be no caste or religion conflict if we all will decide to not to affects this useless matter to our life.We the people of India, Having solemnly resolved to constitute India into a SOVEREIGN SOCIALIST SECULAR DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC and to secure to all its citizens. JUSTICE, social, economical and political; LIBERTY of thought, expression, belief, faith and worship; EQUALITY of status and opportunity; FRATERNITY assuring the dignity of individual and the unity and integrity of the Nation.

Everyone should remember the preamble to not to violate its dignity as its the key to our constitution & all have their rights to live their life freely. Lets take oath to not to harm others on caste or religious conflict, we are living in 21st century & seeing the case of MOB LYNCHING, DOWRY CONFLICT, CASTE CONFLICT ON TEMPLE ENTRY AND ALSO DISCRIMINATION WITH WOMEN. Is this the same India where the 1857 Hindu-Muslim unity become lesson for British to start DIVIDE & RULE. The same procedure is still using by some of politicians by putting aside the basic problems of India. They are collecting votes using Mandir-Masjid and we Indians don't even recognise that we are still under a New British Raj. That time there was outsiders which atleast unite us to fight for future of India and to understand DRAIN OF WEALTH THEORY of Dadabhai but today the exploiters are Indians and we even don't realising that Indians are till facing quite similar problems.

New Year's Day is celebrated in most of the world on 1st January, the first day of the year in the modern Gregorian Calender. 1 January is also New Year's Day on the Julian calender, but this is not the same day as the Gregorian one. Most solar calenders (like the Gregorian and Julian) begin the year regularly at or near the northern winter solstice, cultures that observe a lunisolar or lunar calenders celebrate their New Year's Day (such as the Chinese New Year and the Islamic New Year ) at less fixed points relative to the solar year.

Chaitra Shukla Pratipada, Ugadi, Gudi Padava, Cheti Chand, Navreh and Sajibu Cheiraoba.

These festivals of the spring season mark the beginning of the traditional new year in India.

 Chaitra Shukla Pratipad ,marks the beginning of the new year of the Vikram Samvat also known as the Vedic [Hindu] calendar.Vikram Samvat is based on the day when the emperor Vikramaditya defeated Sakas, invaded Ujjain and called for a new era.Under his supervision, astronomers formed a new calendar based on the luni-solar system that is still followed in the northern regions of India.It is the first day during the waxing phase (in which the visible side of moon is getting bigger every night) of the moon in the Chaitra (first month of Hindu calendar).

Gudi Padwa and Ugadi,these festivals are celebrated by the people in the Deccan region including Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra.The common practice in the celebrations of both the festivals is the festive food that is prepared with a mix of sweet and bitter.A famous concoction served is jaggery (sweet) and neem (bitter), called bevu-bella in the South, signifying that life brings both happiness and sorrows.Gudi is a doll prepared in Maharashtrian homes.A bamboo stick is adorned with green or red brocade to make the gudi. This gudi is placed prominently in the house or outside a window/ door for all to see.For Ugadi, doors in homes are adorned with mango leaf decorations called toranalu or Torana in Kannada.

Cheti Chand,Sindhis celebrate the new year as Cheti Chand. Chaitra month is called 'Chet' in Sindhi.The day commemorates the birth anniversary of Uderolal/Jhulelal, the patron saint of Sindhis.

Navreh, is the lunar new year that is celebrated in Kashmir.It is the Sanskrit word ‘Nav-Varsha’ from where the word ‘Navreh’ has been derived.It falls on the first day of the Chaitra Navratri.On this day, Kashmiri pandits look at a bowl of rice which is considered as a symbol of riches and fertility.

Sajibu Cheiraoba, is a ritual festival of Meiteis which is observed on the first day of Manipur lunar month Shajibu, which falls in March/April every year.On the day of the festival, people arrange a joint family feast in which traditional cuisines are offered to local deities at the entrance gates of the houses.

 The Islamic New Year, also called the Hijri New Year or Arabic New Year, is the day that marks the beginning of a new lunar Hijri Year, and is the day on which the year count is incremented. The first day of the Islamic year is observed by most Muslims on the first day of the month of Muharram. The epoch of the Islamic era was set as 622 CE, the year of the emigration of Mohammad s.a.w and his followers from Mecca to Medina, known as the Hijra. All religious duties, such as prayer, fasting in the month of Ramadan, and pilgrimage, and the dates of significant events, such as celebration of holy nights and festivals, are calculated according to the Islamic calendar.

May this 2022 will give us understanding to face the world with new energy and basic problems to come in the race of developed country. No matter how much development takes place or how much of our economy grow but if a single person sleep with empty stomach then the responsibility of a county towards their all citizens equally will not fulfill.

I wish this year, India target ZERO HUNGER along with ZERO EMISSION.
