Welcome New Year with Hope



Its time to say good bye to 2020, an year that started with positive anticipation as it was the first year of a new decade. However, it dished out the Covid-19 crisis of unprecedented magnitude all over the world, that threatened our very existence and changed the way we live. At the same time, this crisis brought out the fighter in most of us, and all of us joined hands to put up a spirited fight. As the year ends, we are still grappling with the pandemic, though a little light has started to be visible at the end of the tunnel.

Warm wishes to all my friends for Happy New Year 2021, with the hope that this new year brings a ray of hope and optimism in our lives and makes us forget the nightmare of 2020.

It takes me back to the new year eve of 2018 that was a very memorable one for our family as all of us brothers, our sister and parents came from different cities and we celebrated the new year eve together after many years. We will cherish this night of family bonding and enjoyment for many years to come. There was music, dance, games, jokes, and lots of fun and masti.

To add a special touch to the occasion, my elder brother Anuj started writing a song to welcome the new year with optimism. Later on, all of us joined him to complete the song. It was one of the most creative and satisfying experience and it resulted in a beautiful song with a message of hope that it conveys. We sang this song together and that filled the air with a warm feeling. I am sharing the song in this post.

एक वर्ष के बाद है आया, आज ये अवसर हर्ष का
आओ हम सब मिलकर स्वागत, आज करें नव वर्ष का
बीत गया सो बीत गया, क्या सोचे अब  उस वर्ष का
आओ हम सब मिलकर स्वागत, आज करें नव वर्ष का


New year is an occasion to feel happy and positive about the future with new energy. We should see it as a start of a new life from this day, and try to make the most of it. This is why people take new year resolutions, to change their life for better. We cannot change the past, and have no control on future; it is time to forget the struggles and disappointments of last year, and start afresh. This is why, we must welcome the new year with hope and optimism.

अरमां जागे हैं नए नए, पर सपना वही पुराना है
हमको अपनी मेहनत से इस, धरती को स्वर्ग बनाना है
यही समय है अब तो अपने, जीवन के उत्कर्ष का
आओ हम सब मिलकर स्वागत, आज करें नव वर्ष का


We have many aspirations for what we want to achieve in the new year, but the fundamental mission of our lives is constant – and it invariably relates to making this world a better place – slowly but surely. New year is a time to remind ourselves about our mission, and ensure that we do not lose sight of it in the daily hustle bustle of life. We should also not forget that we have the capability to rise above our circumstances and overcome all hurdles in our path. Now is the time to take positive action towards our mission.

हर साल नया ये आशा का, संदेशा लेकर आता है
चाहे रात हो जितनी भी लम्बी, हर रोज़ सवेरा आता है
अपने अटल इरादों से, हम छू लें दामन अर्श का
आओ हम सब मिलकर स्वागत, आज करें नव वर्ष का


Whenever you are surrounded by sorrow and disappointments, be it in professional life, personal life, family, or society; remind yourself that this will eventually pass. Look back on your years, and you can confirm this truth. Even the darkest night gives way to the light of dawn. New Year re-enforces this message that we should not give up hope amidst difficulties. Sky is the limit for you if you keep a firm resolve and do not give up making efforts.
