Editorial – January 2019

First month of New Year is here. We welcome the New Year with new hopes, with great joy and unfinished tasks from of the previous year. Hopes lie there where we pool our visions collectively. True, the word ‘vision’ appears to be a bit pompous. But without a vision we soon lose our vigour and begin to trudge along the old beaten track.

Editorial – December 2018

The month of December is a month of nostalgia – the passing away of a year with its baggage of good and bad events, a month of joy and merriments for celebrating the ‘Baradin’ or Christmas for people of all over the world, transcending the Christian community and expectations for the new year. We also offer our deep reverence to the memory of the great religious leader and martyr Jesus christ. The expectations are for the coming New Year and Read More …
