Hello mylottians,tell me how did you greet your near &dear ones this New Year ?

Ha ha ha UJ well its me who says i am broad minded dont u think atleast we should say thanks to them who send messages. other thing such events and such days become rituals and only for PR. very rare sent honest and sincere wishes most of them forwarding received messages. Anyway, take care

Rose, dont you know that Cupid is always in touch with his near and dear ones!!! He does not need any occasion to get in touch with his friends and near and dear ones!

well well.....and why is it that you dont believe in New Year celebrations at all......Its the time to get in touch with your dear and hear ones and by greeting them a happy new year you show that you care for them.......I must say this is an unhealthy attitude that you are showing......And by greeting only those you greet you isnt it just narrow mindedness.....???

Actually Aps I too did not feel that anything new is happening on New year day.....Actually I heralded the New Year with a heavy heart 'cos my gigar ka tukda was leaving home the next day and I spent the whole day with a heavy heart packing all his belongings.....sigh....I did not sent any Sms or email as I usually do.....And it was on a sudden impilse that I logged into mylot.....Yes dear,lets celebrate this new year together and have fun in mylot...I think the change will do us good......So here is wishing you A HAPPY NEW YEAR AND HAPPY MYLOTTING TOO......

Yes rose.......now a days, hidden mom inside us is very restless.....one situation that no mother likes to see is the separation of children from them. I think this separation is actually a slow poison that slowly slowly tortures you and kills you inch by inch.......and this pain is not even visible to anybody....and somewhere I think this has deeply effected me after my son has joined army. Any way Rose , lets not get deeper into this topic....right now I am in good mood as I found you and all nice friends and mylot .......so wishing you WELCOME BACK AND VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR.....TO YOU AND TO ALL.......

aaahmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm No further comments

(You should check my discussions, before starting a new one...........lol!) Essa ho jata hai, take it lightly, I was joking.

Hi dpk ,thanks for adding your comments.....Sigh..But why is it that every time most of us start a discussion,it appears that you have already started a similar discussion......????Its not fair....

I remember the time when we would decorate the house for Christmas and put up all the greeting cards that we received. Now I feel the house looks bare inspite of the decorations as the cards are missing!

Oh yes I used to do that too........Tie a huge thread across the window and hang all the greeting cards I received on it...It was fun.....Thanks for reminding me.......Now all that is just history......sigh.....

you are right mayka.....technology has put things at our finger tips but has widened the distance between us.......We dont even bother to go to our neighbours and wish them,and sent an inpersonal Sms Instead......I still miss those days in school where sending greeting cards was a thrilling exercise...I used to make a list of persons to sent greeting cards a month before christmas and new year and spent hours at the store to chose apt cards for all my loved ones......Now I too just sent sms and ecards only.......

Hi se7enth ,you have a wonderful wife who is loving and caring towards all human beings...A rare species these days I must admit......ha..ha....Abd its nice that you are being so much influenced by her....I like this attitude of hers.....Wish both of you a Happy and prosperous 2010.....

if i have one gf,i will buy some gift send to her by hand. it is much better than send the SMS ,e-card.

hi there roseo, my wife bought some wooden animal padlocks. its really cute and we send that as a gift with the cards. when relatives got it they were so happy for finding it cute though at first they dont know where to use it. well we felt good they love and appreciated the thought of us giving.

Hello Kiran its good tb be with you after a long interval......And thanks for the elaborate response and the clarification....Yes I agree greetings today has become more mechanical and though its so much easy to sent Sms and emails,I feel its losing all the warmth and bon hamie......Its becomine rather mechanical and automated...You often end up sending the same messages to many and reply with "Thanks same to you......"....most of the time.... Yes and regarding th last part of my discussion, it sometimes happens that when I ring some one and wish them a HAPPY new year they immediately say that they have been waiting for my call and wondering why I had not called....he..he...There are all sorts of people.... any way wishing you a Happy 2010.....

To answer the last oart of your discussion, I would call someone who I feel close to without waiting for them to do so. But it has to be mutual, they may do it for another occassion....I feel that one should be flexible regarding such matters..

Hello writers edge.......Yes I too do that only.......Call the realtives or friends living near by and SMs or sent ecards to the long distance once...Thanks for your respponse and wish you a HAPPY 2010........

Hi sree....actually its ages since I bought a greeting card and posted it to someone......Moden technology at our fingers have made things so easy and made us very lazy too...I feel its sucha bother to go and buy cards from the store then get some stamp from the post office and then posting it.....And our postal system is so prompt thatpeople will get the greeting cards only by year end.......ha..ha....

Hello kawalnarang......Thanks for your greetings and for being th first one to answer my post........Yes you are right about not bothering about who greets first.Any way its a great occasion to contact all your loved ones and greet them....Here is wishing you and your family a HAPPY 2010.... Actually I had uploaded a greeting with this post but it has disappeared.........sigh..

way to go Naimenim.........Wishing you happy mylotting and a great year ahead....

Ha..ha... its almost the middle of January,and you still ahvent finished sending your New Year greetings....?Yes try to sent the more important ones tonight itself....and the rest I think you can put them away for next year...(What is the use of sending stale greetings?...he..he....Any way here is wishing you a Happy 2010......
