Chinese new year

Today many friends and acquaintances were wishing each other on the occasion of Chinese New Year. I wonder if any other country would celebrate festivals or occasions with such gusto as we do in India. We have incorporated festivals from all around the world! 

As I mused it dawned that the regional (Indian) new year would fall in a few months ahead. And till around November we have various occasions marking the beginning of a new year in various communities. And with cheer and good spirit we ring in the (Western) New Year on Dec 31st evening. 

How wonderful that we actually have so many reminders to begin anew. Forget the errors; declutter the unwanted and bring in the change..
