Happening Weeks

So many events have been happening all around me over the last 2 months.

With the sub-prime mortgage crisis of 2007 already having started to show its effect on the economy, which is getting slower by each passing day; skepticism and pessimism is widespread as the stock markets are tumbling down. A big old investment bank has been sold for almost 1% of what it was worth just 16 days ago.

From some aspect, it looks like troubled times as everyone is wary of the impact of a global economic recession. It sure is going to have an impact on their personal lives too. But what happens to those who are already having a lot of happenings on their personal fronts.

I just happened to observe two persons involved in a seemingly strong relationship, which was not that strong as it got broken off throwing the two persons poles apart. One person stood up sooner (much too sooner!), and took up the challenge of starting life afresh with third person.

The second person involved set off in another direction in order to confront life, but ended up being in the same location as the first person. Where would life take them all? What is in store for each one of them? All these and many more questions remain unanswered. But one thing they all need very badly is optimism – a feeling that the future holds all the goods that will be delivered to them in time. So here I am, raising a toast to all these brave folks who have a lot to see in their lives, and have to come out of it with flying colors….Cheers!
