Darkness of Thoughts & Festival of Lights

Dear Friends,

This Diwali appears as a Dark Diwali in the current backdrop of the financial turmoil across the globe.

The macro-economic crisis isn’t really a financial crisis, an economic crisis, a liquidity crisis, or a solvency crisis. It’s an institutional crisis: the economic institutions of capitalism is in shock. Today, we live in a globalised, hypercomplex 21st century and we in India will be affected because of huge excess in the global system.

Many have lost  -  money, house, car, job, bank account in the last  couple of months. Some have taken extreme measure to killing themselves alongwith family members to escape this reality and some are walking dead today ' financially,  mentally, physically and emotionally bankrupt.

The moot point here is that as long each one of you have your "earning ability",  the "attitude to fight back" and "faith in yourself" you will make it all back and more. Maintaining a longer-term perspective and sanity is the need of the hour - one cannot afford not to fight back, reinvent oneself and stay positive in these times.

Pain here is inevitable but suffering is optional.  Hoping that darkness of thoughts in your life vanishes in this festival of lights!!

Wishing you and your family a very Happy Diwali!!

Cheers

Vish, Shilpa, Amay & Amogh

What we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday, and our present thoughts build our life of tomorrow: Our life is the creation of our mind.”
