Ring out the old and ring in the new
First things first. Let me wish all the readers of my blog a very bright, prosperous and a peaceful new year. Let me also thank you for all the good wishes that you have sent my way and wish that I am able to keep motivating and helping others through these blogs.2008 was a good year for me, personally. As another Julian year has gone by and as we slide into the future in a vehicle that we call as present, many thoughts are passing through my mind. The one that is very conspicuously peeping out of the window of my thoughts and is waiting to be expressed is about the small blue planet that we live on.
As we celebrate the new year it is important to ensure that we continue to do so for years to come and present this lovely planet to our next generation in a much better condition than what we have got from our parents. It's a collective responsibility and therefore each one of us should do what we can to fulfil our duty towards this wonderful vibrant planet.
Today, my friends and their families had come over to celebrate the new year's eve together. It is always great to have friends around. We sang and danced our way through into the new year but there are many people around the world who were not as lucky as we were.
There are many challenges that the world faces today. There are many invisible boundaries that are dividing people. Today, we may not have solutions to all the problems nor can we solve all the problems in one go but with a collective will, I am confident that we will be able to forge ahead. Every passing moment should see us a step further then where we were before that moment and then every year we would have walked a mile or more.
So, as we welcome the new year, I see hope. I wish that we fly higher with each passing year but while we do so do not loose the sight of the 'earth' where we belong. Therefore, I wish to contribute more to the society and make this new year 2009 a memorable one. I wish that 2009 is much better than 2008.
A happy new year to all once again.
Love and Regards,
Mahendra
