End of an Age

The 21st of December 2012 did not mean a literal end but an ancient civilisation's cosmic calender completed an age. It's symbolic value is important in times of rapid changes in the world - political, economic, social and scientific. Human mind is subject to rapid bombardment of information from increasingly electronic means leading to instantaneous responses, not all of which prove to be correct. With this as the backdrop, we must make a conscious effort to take some time off to reflect on the very purpose of our existence and how best we can be a useful and integrated part of our society. Where possible, choose simplicity over complexity. Shun cynicism and embrace honesty. It should make life manageable and happier.

At the dawn of New Year 2013, I wish you and your loved ones, happiness and contentment in the times ahead. May you best all challenges and help others in need. May you give more even as you recieve.

Happy New Year 2013 - no conditions attached!
