Changes In My World
Its the start of Winter here in Wilmington, DE. My daughter is going to be three this month and my world is just beautiful. This year I have witnessed four changing seasons Winter, Spring, Summer, Autumn (Fall) and now its winter again. And this place changes its look every season. I thought that Spring would be the most beautiful season, till I witnessed the fall colours. It has been amazing.
Mahi has just started toddler school 2 months back and she is enjoying it. It's been a joy for me to drive her to school each morning and watch her go about her activities in her class from the observation room. It's also a great feeling to watch the joy on her face when I go to pick her up and then listen to her talk about her day at school.
On the other side, I have my dad who is suffering from an enlargement of heart and has been battling for life all through the last two months. He has been in and out of the hospital a few times now and each time he has been very critical. It causes me immense anguish to see my dad suffer like this. He has suffered all his life and has fought like a champion and has been a real survivor and now he fights a battle which will see him...
In the USA the recession and bad times are at their peak and the economy is in tatters. The first black President of the United States has an All Star team that is trying to help revive the dying American Dream. Time has changed and the world is changing too. India & China seem to be less affected by all this at the moment. That again is a big change from the past.
Then came the terror attacks on Mumbai. My city has been the victim of several brutal attacks in the past, but used to be a pathetic in terms of attitude. The famous Mumbai resilience is nothing but indifference and hopelessness. The sheer need to go to work to earn their daily bread keeps this city going inspite of the fear lurking in everybody's mind. The fact is that we did not have a choice apart from getting on with our lives. But now we have been cornered and don't they say that a cornered cat can even kill. The new generation has refused to take it lying down and put on a massive display at the Gateway Of India.
The sheer frustration against the politicians may now ensure that the scum (95%) among the politicians may now be facing an end of their political careers. If the Congress or BJP has any sense they will appoint professionals and educated and qualified people to represent them in constituencies. But the fact is that in such case these people may overshadow the current leadership within the party, so in all likleyhood that scenario may never occur.
The winds of change are now getting stronger by the day and adversity often brings together people. The British rule united us, so did all the wars we have fought. This attack will help us unite once more in our goal to secure our future and country.
May the flame that has been ignited in our hearts continue to burn. Let it consume the current political leadership in our country.
