Description

In the Gregorian calendar, New Year's Eve, the last day of the year, is on
December 31.
New Year's Eve is celebrated at evening
social gatherings, where many people dance, eat, drink,
and watch or light fireworks, and the like, to mark the onset of new year.
Island nations of
Kiribati and Samoa are the first to welcome the New Year while Honolulu,
Hawaii is among the last places to welcome the New Year, owing to their
extreme east and west geo locations.
In India too, this occasion is celebrated almost all over its territory with
full vigour. Goa is one of the most
visited spot during new year celebrations both by Indian and foreign tourists.
Events such as live concerts and dances by Bollywood stars are organised and
attended mostly by youngsters. Large crowds also gather at popular spots of
Mumbai along the coastline such as the Gateway of India, Girgaum Chowpatty,
Bandra Bandstand, Juhu Beach , etc. Hotels and resorts are all decked up in anticipation
of the tourist influx. At many places across the country special Yagya and
Puja are organized for the wish of fruitful year by Hindu people.
A New
Year's resolution is a commitment that a person makes to one or more personal
goals, projects, or the reforming of a habit. The resolution is made in
anticipation of the New Year and new beginnings.
