WHILE wishing you a happy new year
I am impelled by selfish motive. I
cannot myself be happy unless my neigh-
,b<j>ur8 are. happy too. Blessings, congra-
tulations. Asirvad, god-speed are based
on selfishness which however is not a
very serious crime. Otherwise great lea-
ders industrialists and ambassadors Would
not have been so selfish.
According to the teachings of the
Freudian school of scientists, when I
wish you a happy new year I ‘project’
myself into you. I wish that 1 myself
become happy in ihe coming year.
Certain ft rn.s of story telling are
’based on selfishness like wishing you a
happy new year. The grand-mother's
story ended like this:—“And^ so they
were, hapj y, — 0 supremely happy and
t'hd pair entered1 their domestic life in
peace and phasure ’ No hearer wishes
that 'thejuro ana he:oine lead a wretched
life.. 'Ihe novels that depict perverted
char.actejs and- traged}7 cause pleasure
through pain because, according to some
poets ‘Our sweetest songs rue those
that tell of saddest thoughts.
The old type1 of story-hearer are
against elaborate descriptions .of love
affair. , Whemthe narrator on a New
Year flight describes love intrigues, the
grandmother^ > comes thundering along
asking “Well we're they married after
all ? Yss or no ?” ^Tne narrator’ out of
respect says “Yes granny, they were !”
Cranny says: “Then go' to sleep, —
you children and adults there 1 It is
nearly midnight.”
The idea of the next \vorld is pro-
bably based on a desire for happier days,
just •as we wish a happy new year.
This world being full of sorrows and
sufferings and cruelty and poverty we
hug the idea.that surtly a .grander world
with better days will dawn, and hence
fhe poet asks tho singing bird
Or dost thou sing

Of some divine command,—

Of happi r days at hand ?

at the Calcutta GPO wall placard “Travel
by air and see t.he world ’. Some! un-\

and collisions
