Time Interface

Like everybody else, last night Nakamora passed the year 2007, and entered 2008. There is no other choice. At the vicinity of this 2007-2008 interface, may be within a band of 2-3 months, people may do one or a combination of three things, or may be more:
1. in 2007 formulate new resolution, or reformulate old ones
2. in 2008 view the past in perspective across the time border
3. miss 1, ignore 2, create and define own time interface
4. none of the above
Nakamora did a little bit of everything, a combination of all, but mostly the last part of 3. Time interfaces and borders are yours to create and define: when I am 40, on my graduation, are examples. Time itself is an abstract concept which can be measured using different basis; or else there would not have been lunar calendar or calendars based on maharajah's or emperor's birthday. Going to the extreme, in some native community time is measured by the duration to cook rice, to climb coconut tree, to finish smoking a stick of cigarette, or the performance of any acts the duration of which have been accepted as standard. Of course that is compatible only within the context of its applications, like in any other measure of time.
