a NEW YEAR

My Observation..
on Celebrations..

There are many New Years celebrated across different regions of the world and this is one such… Why could not the other New Years gain this much importance in their own celebrations… should I say, globalisation of celebrations... This new year concept existed even before countries started peeping into other countries and influencing the native ones on various reasons like effective administrative principles, energy efficient technologies and various other percepts,

India alone, has many new years… like Tamil New Year, Telugu New Year, and the like, and globally, Chinese New Year, and others such according to their own cultures and traditional practices...

First of all do we need to have a new year to celebrate? The following are few questions to consider...

• Is there any difference between a day before and a day after... New Year day..?
• What established difference does it make in a common man.
• Which class and/or which community can maximise this opportunity?
• What if, we had to celebrate New Year every quarter just as banks maintain their quarterly accounts?
• What if, our year has only 120 days and not 365 days or 1000 days instead of 365?
• What if, our new year be, if people counted a year – from rain fall to rain fall?
  -- as there are places on the face of the earth where there are two high rainfalls a year (equatorial region – which is called as double-maxima)
• or from season (climatic condition) change to season change (as we have only two seasons called summer and winter, and rainy season is not considered to be a season because, rain falls in summer, in some areas, and in winter, in some other areas…)
• What if we, lived on the poles, either at the Arctic circle or at the Antarctic circle, when we have to celebrate a new year every 365 years as they have 6 months night and 6 months day to constitute our one day, and we have only 12hrs day and 12hrs night.
• What if we re-design our calendar to 10 months a year, with 100 days a month and 10 days a week, or something like that, (ofcourse, we may not call it a week, but some thing else) as we are following every thing in the exponentials of 10 (multiples of 10), then we may have perfect synchronisation than having 7 days a week, 30/31days a month or 365 days a year.
• Then can we establish a circle with some 100 or 1000 degrees and its successive calculations, instead of the current established value that a circle has 360 degrees of which sun takes 4 minutes to travel each degree and hence 15 degrees every hour, thus 180 degrees/15 degrees = 12hrs constitute half a day and the rest 180 degrees the night time (approximately).

...and many other such questions follow...
but the base question remains.. New year..! for whom?
