Hi Deepa I celebrate my new year by greeting all my near and dear ones, sending cards and if time permits, going to the temple. The entire day I will be busy by doing such things.

Here in America, most people go out and party on New Year's Eve. I used to do this, but now, I prefer to just sit at home and rest. I will usually watch the events in Time Square on the TV for a while, or I will get online and mess around. Staying up past midnight is pretty routine for me, though, so it is not really a big deal if I stay up to actually watch the ball drop or anything like that. It really just all depends on how tired I happen to be at the time...

I go to temple in the morning and pray God that the year should pass well for all my relatives and friends. Then I will buy sweets for the house and neighbours. I wear new dress on that day, which will keep my mind fresh and happy. I will make payasam at home (liquid sweet) and watch special TV programmes in the TV.
