National aspirations no longer see

Globalization as panacea.

Desperate people and impatient politics.

Unpredictable EU, unstable Middle East

Change’in’ America

Slowdown in promising economies like India, China, Brazil,…

Attacks in Brussels, Istanbul, Nice, Uri, …

Ebola, Zika, …

Many more can be added to the list.

Though the cravings for ‘the change’ may continue

Ironically, ‘Climate change’ remains

The most threatening challenge.

Let us embrace 2017.

With hope,

And with wishes for health and happiness
