Twelve months ago everything went wrong..We were in the brink of a global recession. It hit with the fury of a tornado and shook our faith in the financial system. Economists groped for answers as suddenly the nano issue also became a much hyped dilemma.. From decisions to their executions, everything went wrong.. There were rallies, marches..chaos everywhere..unfortunately, the city of joy forgot to smile even..
Twelve months on, some controls are said to be in place. In the year gone by, we have seen a national election that returned the ruling combine to power. In West Bengal however, the ruling Marxists humbled in election after election, to a point where many believe that the outcome of the 2011 Assembly Election is a foregone conclusion..people are changing and so are their views and ideologies..
Everything costs more- rice, pulses, sugar, oil, potatoes and onions..crisis everywhere. It is into this heaven of freedom that we awake each morning, from this heaven of freedom we take break every night..everything seems to be going wrong..
In short, at no point of time in recent memory have we needed the distraction of festivals than we do now. The people need to find their lost spirit..yes, we can smile, we can celebrate..there are still enough reasons left that deserves cheer, a shout of joy..and now as devi durga has descended on earth..the city will never stop celebrating..because these are the times when the problems dissolve in the spring of joy..and as for our city goes, Kolkata never sleeps..the city of joy has found a reason to laugh..
Circumstances can hurt the human soul but it can’t break it’s confidence and determination to be back once again..U c everywhere around the world there’s the same story..We can make it..
