Time to Change The Calender

In 2010 i saw myself cross roads of repentance, frustration, hard work, the joy of achieving my goal, fun and ultimately freedom. All this made me a new person all together. And even though i sometimes miss those days, i certainly don't want to go back there because I wanna move ahead.

30th Dec '10 made me wonder what actually would be new in just two days.The Sun would rise in the same way, the birds would chirp in the same tone, the sky would be of the same colour and all the people would just be the same. So why the hype?

And 31st just made me want to go out and have fun on the last day of the year (which is totally opposite to what i felt 24hrs ago). All these years i had always wanted to go out and party but ended up being stuck up so the clock striking 12 on the 31st had made no difference to me. This year too i knew nothing out of the ordinary would happen (though in my mind i was praying it does) leaving me to wonder the importance of the 1st of January.

For everyone individually the new year begins on their birthday, therefore technically the new year begins on a different day for everyone. Okay I understand that for universal unambiguity somebody chose to fix the dates. But why 1st of Jan to be the beginning? It could have been any random day. 1st Jan doesn't even make sense. A new season does not begin, the Earth isn't the farthest or the nearest to the sun that day, the moon isn't lined in a particular way, or any of that so why chose this?

The Hindu calender in this context makes sense because the new year starts with the start of spring, which marks the beginning of new life with the sprouting of seeds. Also its based on the "lunisolar" activities so the makers definitely put some though into it.

The English calender also doesn't account for the extra 0.25 day occurring every year. Why divide the months and weeks of the year in such a way that you have to make up with a leap year after every 3 normal ones?

The Hindu calender system too doesn't have a perfect 365 day year. And it bothers me that if a universal system has to be followed why not make it flawless? Why rectify after every 3 years?? or add a full month after every 32.5 (even that's not a round figure) lunar months??

If anyone knows logical explanations please tell me because all this seems wrong to me.

Anyways a Happy new year (cliche.. my new year started 2months ago) from "the still puzzled and resolution-less this time" Me
