Being Western...

It is easy to guess what would someone in metro be doing on Dec 31st night. Might be having a party with friends and family at some resorts. Might be firing crackers when the new year begins. Might be yelling and dancing on the roads...It is good to hear that they are enjoying the moment the way they want.

What annoying me is how much they enjoy when it comes to celebrating regional festivals like Pongal, Tamil New Year etc. I see only very few celebrate them. For others, it is just another holiday to watch TV.

When you have the energy to celebrate new year and valentaine's Day, why not you gather the same energy to celebrate your own festivals. If you think that it is an insult or waste of time to celebrate, you are not truthful to your motherland.
