yes, because nowadays the hotels and night clubs just want publicity for their business rather than provide true enjoyment to the people.

i don?t think so. Nowadays, people want music and dance in every celebration. So, it?s not wrong to celebrate the new year?s eve in the same way.

absolutely! new year?s eve bashes are entirely about show business and are a futile attempt to imitate Western culture. We are like empty vessels that make a lot of noise.

Moumita Nandi

definitely. anybody looking for enjoyment would opt for a private party. Is not the idea of dancing with unknown faces in a crowded place bizarre and scary?

Tapan Pal

with terrorists killing and injuring millions of people all over the world, how can any festival bring true enjoyment? Those throwing new year bashes do it mostly for show.
