Thailand, 2011
Dear Readers: As few as you all are in numbers (yup, very aware :)---I apologise for this long silence. Returning after sick leave has not been all that easy. But in the last year, my writing has taken off and I have worked quite intensely. More on that later. Previously I used to write a special note on the 'new year'--and a few other days, both here and in my hand-written journal. Due to time, have not been able to do it. And since we are already three weeks into the year, I thought 'let it go'. Yet, there is something about beginnings, something about newness, that we must be alight in our hearts---or else we miss the sparkle of days and magic of the nights!! So, here is a poem by my favourite author, that I think so fits, And suggests that, as we 'somewhat' cynical people look at another year--that may be, we should think of this year as filled with possibilities beyond our imagination, with a hope that our hearts will overflow with joy, and that all those who come into our vicinity will be left enchanted with a desire to live a thousand years!!
Do not say, 'It is morning,' and dismiss it
with a name of Yesterday,
See it for the first time as newborn child
that has no name--
Rabindranath Tagore.
