Hi All,
I am 2011 and now for me time has come to say you good bye.
On the eve of my arrival, you celebrated by sending sms, emails, greeting cards, wished your near and dear ones that I should bring all happiness and good luck for them. The moment I arrived on your doorstep, I saw you were singing, dancing and watching music and dance shows of your favorite celebrities on your Television Set. I saw you have written my name everywhere in colors and lights on the roads, buildings, clubs etc. It was “Welcome to 2011” or “Happy New Year 2011”.
I also saw some of you drinking, smoking, shouting and dancing in front of loud speakers and was cheering for me.
The next morning was very silent and slowly I entered in your life. I became part of your life. You mentioned me in almost every formal, legal or informal document. I was part of your past and future references.
Though I became part of your life, but I was trying to find the same enthusiasm and energy which I saw among you on the first day of my arrival. Many times I got disappointed seeing you always running with a sad and tensed face and always cursing your life and luck. From my first impression I understood that you all are very jolly, incredible and lively persons.
I saw you gathered with your friends and near and dear ones on some occasions. I came to know that such days are very rare in your life and you wait eagerly for those days to have relief from your normal repetitive routine. This led me to think whether my arrival was also an occasion or opportunity for your celebration or the intention was really to welcome me..?
I have spent 365 days with you and I saw almost everyone of you are doing the same activities everyday from the moment you leave your bed to the time you again go to your bed. I tried to understand and to some extent what I understood is that your life is centered on money. This is playing a very pivotal in your life and that is why you are repeating same boring activities every day. You stay up too late and get up too tired.
I also saw some pain and sorrow among you. Believe me I am not your culprit, I do not bring any happiness or sorrow. Yesterday was same as today and tomorrow will be same as today. It was only due to your own actions or deeds.
Now, I am going out from your life. As you know I am part of time. So, I do not stop or wait for anyone and never come again. Hence this was my first and last stay with you.
Based on my experience of 365 days with you, I can very well understand that you are again eagerly looking for my last day to have some break in your daily routine. Before leaving I also want you all to see in the same jolly and energetic mood which I saw when I met you for the first time. Finally I wish each of the 365 days of the New Year should bring more and more happiness for you all.
May the Almighty fulfill all your dreams and desires and make each day of 2012 a wonderful and memorable day.
GOOD BYE FOREVER,
2011
