Ideas that marinate from pickled thoughts in the head carry with them the true flavours of life. A year is a vat full of Baskin Robbins ice-creams; one flavour for each day! It’s only at the turn of a year that the line of demarcation between life and philosophy becomes an illusion. It’s only at the tipping point that man identifies the good and the bad, the right and the wrong, as easily as separating the rotten apples from the basket. It is only now that hope finds more meaning in his life than ever before. It is only now that regrets take a back seat and he has new beginnings to look forward to. It is only now that he gets a chance to revive lost ties, to let go and to relive, to make up for lost times. It’s a new year that awaits him as anxiously as he awaits the clock to strike at the midnight.
