Can’t we celebrate the New Year without indulging in setting fire to our very own and hard earned money?
Counting down and then lighting up enormous amounts of money on fire for a few seconds of euphoric fix is a foolish thing.
Partly the media are responsible for people indulge in this kind of irresponsible behaviour.
Ads make sense money-wise and so they want their coffers to be full.
This is where the religious established can play a major role in educating people and also in encouraging them to channel their money and energy for a useful purpose.
Temple and church bells were established to communicate and interact with the masses during good and bad times in yester years.
Let’s put those sleeping giants to good use now instead of letting fools setting fire to money.
Compare the pealing of thousands and more bells to sounds of firecrackers and which one sounds better and more appealing.
Let’s see who will take the lead role now.
Temple, Church, Kovil or Musjeed.
Or all of them as one in 2018.

What Makes Living Interesting.
Favorite stuffs on mobile devices
Headsets on and lost to the world
Missing out on the birds chirping
Rustling of leaves in the wind
Child’s laugher or
Chiming of distant bells.
Detail plans
First is more elaborate than the other
Assuming always
If A fails
Then B would take over instantly.
Efforts to be in Control
Trying to vet everything
And every time
Takes the fun out of living.
Life is a gift
Something to be enjoyed un-vetted
Unwrap it and be amazed
Not knowing what’s in there
Makes living interesting.
