Good Riddance Day

Days are gone when we used to wait for New Year to make some resolution to feel happy and stay cool. In this trendy world we always think of different ways to find happiness. In this attempt New Yorkers in the last week of December 2007 that is on 28^th December celebrated ‘The Good Riddance Day’ with a difference. This difference lied in making a resolution not for the New Year but to get rid off the miseries and sorrows of the last year. In this Celebration City people wrote their mistakes and sorrows on a piece of paper and crushed those papers down under a crusher.

Some of them crushed their bad habits of smoking and drinking, some who were heart broken crushed their other half that piece of paper, some who broke hearts crushed their sins under the crusher and some who led their lives toward pessimism got rid of their sorrows on ‘The Good Riddance Day’. Doctors, Police, Businessmen, children, students, housewives and every citizen of New York became part of this beautiful concept and made it a success. And trust me, you actually feel light when you flush out your sorrows from your life. Happiness doesn’t tell you to go out and find happiness but it tells you to go inside and find happiness.
