another Tamil New year...

photo:Lampshade in an Indian restaurant , Kabul
This is the 3rd new year celebration for me in 4 months. (English followed by Afghan and now Tamil) I dont really see any significance of celebrating the Tamil New year when Iam not using the Tamil calender at all. Over the years, TNY has just become an occasion for releasing yet another bunch of crap movies and yet another holiday that starts with Solomon Pappaia's pattimandram followed by Tanglish interviews of actresses on TV.
Is there any way to restore some meaning to our New Year? Or do we really need a meaning at all for a celebration? ...

    Only if you resort to TV, it doesn't mean anything. Just visit one of the Hindu temples and see how it is celebrated ... Daniel! Anyway, as u said, it shdn't matter to you because you don't believe in Moon signs or the Lunar calendar.
    I get vadai Payasam, so no reason for me to complain

    I suggest a resolution for you. Start watching those meaningful interviews and get an insight into the interesting lives of those movie stars who say "hmmm hobbies... enakku cake bake panna pidikkum, shop panna pidikkum".:-) just kiding...to be fair, not all of them are dumb. Putthaandu Nal Vaazhtthukkal.

    I agree with you on how commercial everything have become.

    But we have the rights to be proud and proud we are to be the great Tamil's!
