The New Year

I suppose the appearance of this blog won't surprise many people. I mean, what better thing than the New Year to talk about?

It was a comment by my little (o.k, not so little) brother that set it off. He was commenting on how people sent you messages saying "Happy New Year 2009". And his point was that the new year and 2009 were the same thing and saying Happy New Year 2009 was like saying the same thing twice. You either say Happy New Year or Happy 2009 because the new year and 2009 are the same right? Yeah... but then it makes guys happy to say New Year 2009 because what if you confuse which year they mean? I know, I know, its very mean, but the truth is not many of us realise what we are doing wrong and the ones who do, aren't much perturbed. I mean... the sender doesn't have a problem, the receiver doesn't have a problem, then what's yours? True, so we'll let matters stand as they are and move on to more interesting things.

(To be continued)

I started writing this blog soon after the New Year was rung in, but stopped midway because I couldn't think of more things to write. I guess it was a kind of premonition of things to come. And now, I am going to leave this post the way it is, because I can't remember what the interesting things that I was going to discuss were.
