Temporum Felicitas

Happy New Year Everyone!

So another year passes by and we usher into a new year. How can there be a new year without some new resolutions!

My resolution is to ‘Live with Discipline’ and engage in more writing. But it is also equally important not to sacrifice or give up happiness for achievement. So, my mantra is to welcome every step and every incident with more ecstasy. My wife, good friend and fellow blogger- Moulika shares the same enthusiasm and added to my life so much interest and happiness. Of course the arrival of little Brinda into this beautiful world only heightened our happiness with greater intensity.

I also pray that the anti-humanist tirade should diminish. Year after year there have been many ugly, gory incidents taking place resulting in violations of human rights and for all good reasons this has to end.

With cordial greetings and wishes I end this blog with Shelley’s poem ‘On Future’, cited by Bertrand Russell in his ‘Autobiography'.

O cease! must hate and death return?
Cease! must men kill and die ?
Cease! drain not to its dregs the urn
Of bitter prophecy.
The world is weary of the past,
O might it die or rest at last!

P.S: This is to those who believe that wise thinking still exists for a life of passion, purpose and above all peace.
