welcome 2019 , I have returned to my first love and pray for a better world .will the God conspire to help the poor?

2017 and 2018 - the final years of  the decade of my 60's reminded me that I was getting old , feeling tired, and more sleepy during daytime,being  deprived of the good night sleep- a trend I wanted to reverse but without success..these closing years also saw  my life partner for more than 45 years to exit from earth  and dissolve into cosmos never to return back abandoning me  like an orphan...it took a lot of time  to internalize the fact that  my world even while  my   sweet  girl was alive revolved around academics  and there is no life beyond that -

No one could stop the ageing process and  the power and beauty of youth will never return but  the feeling of being young and energetic, one can always  internalize and cherish that pleasant thought ...It appears that  I cannot get back the memory  and the scale of energy  of the active period of academic life before retirement  but  I know full well that  I do not have any other world except  the academics  and my better half  will also desire that  i must go back to my first love  unmindful of  my age related general weaknesses..

That is the only express way  to escape from  the Accumulation of the academic debris, and get liberation ; In the final weeks of 2018,   I  felt that i must have a continual engagement  with my studies  not only to  come out of the shadows of   my better half  but also  to discharge my responsibility  to the academic community and  my own students....

I sincerely hope that  2019 will be the beginning   of  the end of  my laziness and tiredness   and sense of diffidence  and it will help inaugurate  a new phase of active and productive life .. with the birth  of the new year  let  a feverish enthusiasm will grip not just me  but many  to exploit their  comparative advantage  and march towards excellence and render all possible help to the fellow human..Fire crackers sound I hear now    we shall pray for a better world freed from famine and hunger, violence and vandalism and  all kinds of destructive nationalism in the global village
