Hope

I experienced last sunset of 08 at a very hatke location: desert (paradox being the most deprived geography landing up to be most extravagent in infrastructure and consumeristic spendings thanks to another natural resource) . experienced the first sunrise of 09. Old making way for new. Change . Wish this change is not just the change of calendar. let this mark change in self, family, sorroundings, society, country, and finally the world .
Time to change self; It takes a lot of time to correctly find one's strengths. Let us all be able to that to help us find real happiness in meeting the challenges that matter to us most based on those strengths. Let us overcome weaknesses, anxieties, strife withing oneself. Let us find path towards something which gives us real joy and avoid somethings which we do out of external compulsions .One though has to do those things as compromise, no one can run away and even while we do that let us have all the conviction that will result in clarity and peace. It was part of greater picture. let us all always have greater picture all the time..... And lets not waste time which is the most precious resource... else we might end up again changing calendars.
Moving onto family: let there be dialogue, let there be no externalities; ego, money, fame, comparison within relationships. Idea should be 100% love and understanding without any expectations. Thats the key
Then to sorroundings: lets resolve to atleast not damage sorroundings if we cannot improve: spiritual, visual, physical and chemical. Lets all have vision to be able to make positive changes to place where we live, work, commute and play.
On social side we need a lot of ground work and discipline esp here in india. We succeed individually but fail collectively. There is a need for all to contribute positively in each one's capacity. Need to take responsibilty. let there be end to the biggest blot on us: Corruption. let there be a collective drive to end that.
Let my country have great leadership and eradicate corruption. Let there be a lot of innovation in each sector of my country. let there be accountability.
On world stage: biggest challenge is conflict management. let there be cool heads to come to the table and have dialogue. Environment and resource distribution is challenge we should address else we may not leave any future for our next generations. Let the economies get rolling by some good planning and lack of greedy speculations.
Have I wished impossible things. Thats where hope is . hope is to be able to make right changes. No harm in hoping. ..
