New Year 2024. Keep yourself aware while celebrating.

We often take things less seriously when it comes to the occasional incidents of celebration mostly in groups. In India incidents of road accidents are already very frequent and severe. In addition, winter fog, irresponsible driving, and blind spot increase the intensity of the occurrence.

Deaths due to road accidents are at an all-time high, amounting to around 150,000 death alone in 2022. The Ministry of Road and Transport has already taken many initiatives to tackle the problems of road mishaps. Road accidents are one of the leading causes of death in India.

Morality and social behavior also contribute a significant amount of responsibility, legitimacy, and accountability in society. People must aware of their surroundings and should try to celebrate with decency and decorum. 

We must take care of the fact that our celebration should not bother others by any means at all. Inclusive celebration is one of the important traits, we should always take care of until it is private.

A conundrum after the celebration is not required if you take care of things prior to the celebration.
