Greeting the New Year


With the New Year just around the corner it is time for new new hopes to spring and for the hope of resurrection of peace and prosperity to unfold across the globe.


The year of 2008 has been quite challenging and the world has been experiencing some worst blows in both social and economic areas.


The economic downturn and the recession have created havoc in the lives of many and many. Great retail giants, banks and manufacturing units spanning across a variety of domains and sectors that have previously stood the test of time …have had a disastrous debacle in 2008 .Millions have become jobless rendering them clueless about their future. Thousands of homes have been re-possessed from mortgage defaulters. The Governments of various countries are aggressively fighting out these undesirable turn of events.


However even the Superpowers are struggling hard to restore economic normalcy. We have to wait and watch to see what the victory of Obama in the U.S is going to mean for the rest of the world and how his policies are going to get translated to the welfare of the rest of the world. Well, there is hope in the air that things would change for the better.


On the other hand, the plight of Zimbabweans is so pitiful. It is abominable that the hunger for power and pride could deprive some bureaucrats of their fundamental sense of humanity. The wide spreading epidemic and lack of proper sanitation have been blissfully ignored by the people ruling the land in their repulsive dispute for their authority over the piece of land. Well, there is hope in the air that things would change for the better.


2008 has witnessed some of the worst testimonials of deep rooted terrorism that has interwoven itself with unidentifiable sections of the society. Terrorism has become a global issue and it has been manifesting itself in a very different dimension. There are no specific demands these days put forth by the terrorists ….no scope for negotiations….but there is only one massacre after another. It is heart wrenching to know that many young adults are being misled into erroneous psychotic beliefs under the garb of religion and being instigated to involve themselves in homicidal activities. Well, there is hope in the air that things would change for the better.


Just remember ….“The darkest hour is just before dawn” . Now that darkness seems to already be the order of the current situation….…let us hope that dawn is not too far away!!!!!


Wish You All A Very Happy, Peaceful And Prosperous New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!
