The beginning of the end

 It is December 1 already! Never realised that the end of 2023 has begun already. It is now hardly thirty days away. How time flies fast!

Yes, I do know that our Indian new year, as traditionally our calendar counts time the lunar way, is yet some three and half months away. Well, for all practical purposes though, we do follow the Gregorian calendar, right? 

How would be 2024? Yes, in India, there is going to be a decisive election in 2024. Yes, in Paris will be held the Olympics, and exactly a century later. Would the AI affect the Olympic games? Undoubtedly, given the pace it is running at.

Yet life will go on. Just as normally as the sun rises and the moon sets, lives will continue, too. Hope there would not be any new scare the Corona way, though some time back, there were news n rumours of some outbreak of a lung disease amongst the paediatric patients in China. Sure it appears to be mild. Let us cross fingers though.

At the personal level, I have chalked out (m)any number of plans. Sure would work well, and sincerely and efficiently, to effectively realise them. It is this hope and optimism that life would be (still) better that helps us continue to live, and quite happily. No harassment, no ill-treatment can then dampen our enthusiasm, right? So here is hoping all would be well, as it reasonably was this year. So let us enjoy the remaining part, the tail end of 2023! Anyways, 'what will be, will be', right?

Pratima@ Remember the "Que Sera, Sera" song? Doris Day made it the anthem of the "lead life as it comes your way" feel. My brother, Parag, recently sent me the song which is a joy to hear, given the simple acceptance lighting up each line in it.
