On this day, people hail the arrival of spring after the long winter. They change old furnishings, polish themselves up, or reinvigorate themselves for the spring.

The philosophy behind this day is to make yourself new and fresh and start a new chapter of your life. You can do that by doing anything that makes you feel happy and will help you in evolving a new self that you will love and enjoy and be yourself for the rest of your life.
