HOW RESOLUTE ARE WE?
Another year, another beginning of new hopes, newer aspirations and the celebration of a ‘gifted’ life.
Walking into the work space on the first day of this reincarnated existence and the first question that finds place on the periphery of my being is this one eternally unanswered question- “so what is your new year resolution?”
It is as it were a crumbling of the entire notion of believing in what to do versus merely stating what to do. Most of us, now have lost out on the actual reasoning behind resoluting something. It has almost become a ‘post year’ syndrome!
If we were to ponder on the above thought, it would be more than just a realisation of how abused the term has lately become. Shayanti, working in a leading MNC says “New Year resolutions are like a vent out point at least for me, because all that I would perhaps want to do and may fail to do, get their space in the garb of a new year approaching and consequently with newer plans evolving on the process.”
Now, what’s so grave in this- Do we really need an occassion to feel strongly about somthing? This question may have been asked numerous times, but the answer, invariably, remains unanswered.
Why as thinking individuals, do we mock our existence by labelling our wants and to-dos’ to this one resolution bubble that bursts the very next monotonous day of this 'New' year?
Many of us, I believe, feel strongly about something or the other, so why is it that at the end of the day (or the year maybe) we limit our thoughts to either no vent out or a possibly ‘hoax’ vent out with no higher significance whatsoever.
Neeshu, a student in an engineering college aligns herself much to the above thought, saying that “if you really wish to name your resolutions, name them as such on a daily basis, why just some new-year resolution at work? Alas an individual vow to not limit my intended plans to a one day celebration, where the resolution seems to be more of a fit rather than a thought out intention.”
Here's wishing all our readers a very happy, productive and a prosperous New Year!
