EDITORIAL

Dear reader(s)Greetings!New Year is all set for us! Its not just about the end of one cycle of 365 days but much more. It’s the time when we make newbeginnings, we can set new goals, choose new directions to move on, evaluate what went wrong and where, how to mend and soon. Our questions, our thoughts will give us a wide arena to work on . And if we think there is no need to change, it means wehave become stagnant and that will make us rot. So, gear up, as time has come again to decide new solutions to move forwardand come out of the vicious circle of the last year.We wish all a prosperous New Year and Happy Beginnings.

“Happiness is when what you think, what you say and what you do are in harmony”…… Mahatma Gandhi

Happiness does not come from superficial sources, butrather through the application of the virtues ofrationality, productivity, self reliance, honesty,integrity and justice.Each individual is born with unalienable rights and toscale that height of success, we must learn to reasonlogically. Shake off all the fears and prejudices, learnto discover, validate and verbalize the concepts withclarity and precision. As we head into the new year,we celebrate the opportunity to earn knowledge andto use reason and inquiry as effectual agents againsterror. The gift of Christmas and New Year is the gift ofreason- a gift that can be unwrapped again and again.Thank you for all you do, and have a MerryChristmas and a Wonderful year ahead.
