Its that time of the year again…People making new year resolutions which they would probably forget a week later….straining themselves to believe that the new year will bring about a fresh start, while deep inside they know that it’s back to boring ‘ol work on Monday!!

So what is in store this new year? Another war? Another natural calamity? Few more millions losing their lives?? Or some lucky chap making his first big break and earning in millions?? Its a tough call…

I was reading sometime back in a popular magazine, that this period right now is the best time for us to be alive, and the world is indeed not going to the dogs!! (That is, of course, barring terrorism, drug addiction, AIDS, inequality of wealth etc…etc…) This is because we have better tolerance towards different races, no ‘World War III’, and abolition of slavery. It is true, we have actually bettered ourselves down the years, and the face of society is changing. But to ignore the madness that surrounds is is just being plain arrogant. To say that we have become worse is being pessimistic, and that we’ve become better is being bullish. What we need to be is realistic, and say that some things have indeed got a lot better, but we’re still some miles off course from total equilibrium of stability….

Any ho…Have a happy new year…..
