Two thirds of 2019 is gone and we
head towards last four months of the decade. This is the time to gear up. Gear
up to celebrate the festivities waiting for the remainder part of the year.
Gear up to recoup after long summer and unprecedented rains, cyclones, floods.
Gear up to face new challenges like economic downturn, emerging market
dynamics, wars, terror, extreme polarization and so on. Gear up to meet
personal goals targets that we usually plan for the next Calendar year. This
calendar change would usher in the new decade of 2020s. Lot was said about 2020
as landmark in human history. But signs are dangerous as we stand precariously to
let our offspring live in a world and an environment they cannot salvage to
continue their existent. The latest fires in Amazon forests have led us into an
irreversible situation for climate and environment. It’s high time for the world
to gear up, unite and fight the things to minimize further damage, do things to
help us recover the situation. As we usher in celebrations, we pray to the Lord
of Wisdom and Remover of Obstacles to help us do that. Ganapati Bappa Morya
