Back in my teens, the only time I stayed awake past midnight on New Year’s Eve was when the New Year show on Doordarshan ended. Post this, I remember the year 1996-1998, when I was at a gurdwara attending the prayers and teaching home post the first ardaas to Waheguru post midnight.
Since then, I am fast asleep by 10 p.m. max. But today, i.e. on the nudge from my younger daughter, I am at TGB, Chandigarh. She expects me to stay awake and she wanted to experience her first countdown to New Year at midnight.
There is nothing special or insightful for anyone other than me to read and relate to my experience.
The only takeaway is to journal or write your heart out— rational or irrational— but it should be well-intentioned.
Have a great year ahead.
