We are having an unusually cold winter this time round after several years. Last night, the weather app said the celsius had sunk to 8 degrees, but it felt definitely colder. Anyway, I love the winter less than before, because my bones ache, and the horrible pollution keeps giving me coughs and colds.
So, alas, I am writing the last post of the year on a rather bitter note, especially because, though by nature strongly against extreme views of any kind, I am getting politically angry against the ruling dispensation after a long, long time. Maybe I shall grow vocal in the coming year.
Let there be a just peace on earth, and may God deliver His judgment on those who believe, and tell others to believe, in hating other human beings on the basis of race, religion, language, colour, gender, nationality and so on. That breed is proliferating everywhere, and all history stands testimony that it bodes ill for all of us, except perhaps the very rich and the very powerful. As the poet asked, tumi ki taader kshoma koriyachho, tumi ki besechho bhalo (have you forgiven them and loved them)?
One good thing I just did and which makes me happy is putting in this link to the blog of a dear young man, Aditya Mishra, friend of Swarnava, and one of those increasingly few who have things to write about and can write.
