HAPPY NEW YEAR

I WISH YOU ALL A VERY HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR.

New Year always brings new hope and new luck. Towards the end of the year people start planning for the new year resolutions. I also used to pass New Year resolutions and later realized that they remain as resolutions on paper. About 20 years ago I passed a resolution “not to pass New Year Resolutions” and that resolution has been in practice for the last 20 years.

I have also been following the practice of praying from 11.45 to 12.15 and this practice I picked up from my ex-boss in Singapore. I have been following this religiously every year since 1991.

New Year brings to mind the song in Kamal film Sagalakalavallavan – Elamai Idho Idho which is the popular New Year Song since 1982. In the olden days they used to play in the Radio the famous Seergazhi Govindarajan song “Aandukku aandu thethikku thethi aayiram irukkuthu subadinam”. It is strange that we have only one song being shown in all TV channels for Happy New Year since 1982.

I wish all of you a very Happy and Prosperous New Year with good health and wealth.
