So
2016 is coming to an end. December is here and it welcomes the winter
season and the quiet nights and on the same time bids farewell to the year
2016. Yet another year gone by with goals unfulfilled targets, not achieved and
making new lists of new targets and new goals to achieve this coming
year.
Turning the TV on to
the English movie channels (HBO, AXN and WB) all you see are Christmas
related advertisements, movies and cartoons. And you realize its Christmas! Now you start noticing all your friends, residing abroad, wearing cool furry
coats, posing around the Christmas trees and lights and taking selfies while pouting. The brightly
lit Christmas trees are the main focus of attention and you can’t stop admiring the
Christmas decorations in the back. You then take your own coats and jackets,
hanging in the cupboard since ages, brush the dirt off them and try them on. After examining yourself in the mirror, from a all angles, and admiring yourself, with a sigh you put all those coats and jackets back because
the weather here in Pakistan doesn’t allow you to wear such clothes because
it’s never that cold.

| Its Christmas! |
Turning towards Facebook , the only social media you use 100 times a day, all you see is year in review videos, a feature introduced by Facebook to celebrate coming year. All your Facebook friends are posting their videos showing all happy and festive moods, making you realize you are not happy because you haven’t posted your each and every eat out picture, occasion picture and/or any post about anything new happening ( even if it’s a picture of your new dress from the latest collection of a designer). Hence you year in review video is not worth sharing.
The days go by with the month of December ending and all you see around are the so-called year end sale banners and billboards around the city. And to
further add to this supposedly charm of the new year every Restaurant, Cafe and Fine Dine place starts publicizing about their discount on its entire menu on
the 31st of December and 1st of January. Furthermore, some eat out places
arrange some sort of event and attract customers by inviting them to
participate in the countdown.
31st December is here it passes by and the new year starts like any other day. All this hype, charm and attraction do nothing to change the pace of the day passing and the year is here...
