People everywhere celebrate English New Year, regardless of caste, colour, religion, or language. People welcome the New Year by exchanging sweets and offering flowers to one another. There are many references to English New Year. We have been following the Gregorian calendar for over 500 years passing through the Mesopotamian New Year, Roman New Year and Zulian calendar.
New year resolutions play an important role every New year. Even though we live in a highly technologically advanced society, let’s make it a habit to read newspapers on a daily basis starting in this new year and commit to the idea that every day is the best day of the year.
