Whatever you dream, Dream Big ...
January,
the month named after the Roman god Janus is considered to be the
highest among all Roman gods. Janus is believed to have two heads
which helped him to look into the past and future simultaneously.
The god Janus symbolized transition (moving from past into future)
and protection (doors and bridges). He was offered the sacrifices
first before other gods and he was worshipped before planting, after
harvest, during marriage ceremonies and other beginnings. Interestingly,
some historians have documented similarities between the god Janus
and Hindu god Ganesh.
In modern age, this month marks the end of old memories
and beginning of new resolutions(dreams)! Whatever your dreams are
dream big as history has proof that one day you will become what
you dream! Also, if you have belief in god don't forget to offer
dues to Janus or Ganesh :-)
By the way, if you ever had a dream to live in a snow
covered land, it may be a right time to visit north east USA. Many
cities in north east have received more snowfall than their season's
average and more snow is predicted over the next two months. So
far New York has recorded 36.1 inches while its season's average
is 22.0 inches; Boston has recorded 49.6" while its season's
average is 41.8"; Hartford has recorded 57.2" while its
season's average is 45.3". Many are complaining except school
kids, skiing and skating places!
On a nightmare story, people partying in Beebee, Arkansas
had a terrifying new-year eve when 5000 red wing black birds fell
dead from the sky over people, cars, roofs, lawns and backyards.
It was a nightmare for the local town officials to clean the birds
the next day. The cause of the birds death is still unknown. Some
theories attribute this to the new year fireworks while some attribute
this to a planned poisoning by a local town to control its population.
Let us wish the second one is not true!
