Friends,
Winter season in north India is at its peak. Temperature across the country is down. This season is good for health, heavy diet, heavy clothing and to remain in habitat. This season is hot for politics and marriage.
Today, CA final result was out and one of my Article Niyati passed CA . We are very happy to see some one successful after lot of efforts and study .  I congratulate and wish her bright career ahead .
Life is full of uncertainty and unpredictable. We propose but some one dispose. Last Saturday, I was fortunate to go to Gazal  nite by  veteran Pankaj Udas. In one of his ghazal he was describing the changes in our society in last 3-4 generations.  It was too touching that emotions could not be controlled.  As per this gazal,  our grand parents used to live in mud houses, but the pains of own or the  neighbour were equally felt. People were innocent but had sound sleep, there was no tension. They were happy and satisfied. Then education entered in life and our parents moved to concrete homes. Life was better and innocence faded. Still the life was OK. In our present time, the life is completely spoiled. Hitech, fully educated, full of luxury but big vacuum. No one to share the pains. Every one is busy in himself. Selfishness, crime, diplomacy at their peak. Totally devastated life. In final phase of this ghazal, there was a message effort the upcoming generation. Not to run after money, be contained, care for others etc. the ghazal was true picture of what we were and where we have reached in search of happiness. The cost we paid to get all these is much higher than what we got in return.
In search of better career, we forgot every thing else. Carer made us selfish to such an extent that we did not care for parents. To some extent they're are also responsible but some where we became blind and moved wherever the  greed took us. And what we got ? The society  has changed a lot , values changed, basics of life changed. Today the respect is directly linked with pay package, cars, house, money, posts ignoring the facts that in process, people don't care about their culture, parents, relatives, language, values etc. we are now more than westernised in food habits, entertainments, culture, relationships.
Probably I am discussing some thing serious today. Anyways, year 2013 seems full of hopes and the initial signs are quite positive. Let us hope for the best 2013.
