Celebrate - Today And Everyday

Once I read in ‘Like the Flowing River’ from Paulo Coelho about his experience of meeting some old lady, mostly somewhere in France. He figured out that the lady was always used to be happy, no matter what the reason may be. So one day he went and asked her. At this that old lady took Paulo to her home and showed him a calendar where she had marked everyday from that calendar for a special reason, because everyday had some history or events associated with that and she used to celebrate the day for that!

Now you see, that is something really fascinating and it should be! Let’s see some figures! The earth has a history of 4.54 billion years. That is 4540000000X365 days! Can someone tell me the number? Okay, let’s simplify. Historical and scientific evidence shows that ancestors of modern age human being existed around 35000-40000 years back. That it self is quite a long duration; is n't it? Okay! Much simpler than that is – right now it is 2010. So we have precisely (2009X365)+ days history during which billions and billions of people lived their life span. And now we have a little less than 7 billion people on this earth!

So the question is what all has happened during this time? Or how much we can imagine of that? Even highly classified probability researchers will not deny the fact that each day had at least one memorable event to share with all of us? And yet what we do is live for these specific moments – 1^st Jan, 14^th Feb, 25^th Dec and so on and on. But out of 365 days we actually have only very few moments like that! What we do is – keep waiting for one full year for one day and when it finally comes; we begin with a new period of waiting.

As I celebrated this year (it was indeed very special and different; remember Yes+. Posts will come) in a completely different atmosphere I realized that every single day is special. Worth a moment to live for and to celebrate! Every morning you wake up; know that it is very special. Because you are there to witness that time and what happens during that time. If this is not enough, look back and as I said everyday has its own story to say! Enjoy! Celebrate! Love! Live!

So I thought like that old lady I will post from now onwards for every single day saying why it is important for. What happened that day! This way I will be regular with my posts too! [J] And as it is already 5^th of January, I will briefly post about the last four days and for today. From tomorrow onwards everyday will have its own story!

January 1 – First obviously New Year! But at 45BC for the first time Julian Calendar was in effect. IST time zone officially adopted.

January 2 – Vulcan planet discovered.

January 3 – The construction of the Brooklyn Bridge begins.

January 4 – Luna 1 becomes the first spacecraft to reach the vicinity of the Moon.

January 5 – An Austrian newspaper reports that Wilhelm Roentgen has discovered a type of radiation later known as X-rays.

Jai Gurudev!

Love!
