It's that time of the year again. Party freaks are returning home, some regretting the bad decisions made last night in the haze of free booze. Newspapers are full of pictures of who wore what and which trends are 'hot' this winter. But all that glitters is not platinum, not even silver for the fact.
The most difficult question for me is what do I wish for the new year. As I muse over this question I realise that it cannot be put down in a single facebook status or a tweet. This new year began with the death of a sixteen year old gangrape victim and probably this is not the only bad news of the first day of 2014. So here is what I want this new year to bring
Let's start with the macrocosm. I want a greener and safer planet where baby seals are not killed or baby elephants are not separated from their mothers. When nature is ravaged, she does strike back and she strikes real bad. So I want people to respect nature and not take her for granted.
Now let us come back to the world. I want a world where children can be safe. I want a world free of sexual crimes. No woman, child or man should have to face the trauma of being violated. I want all the rapists and paedophiles behind the bars.
I want a world where people, irrespective of their orientation, can love without fear. Everyone should be able to tie the knot with their special one. I want the people to open their minds and not judge people for who they love
I want DRASTIC improvement in the area of mental health, especially for children, in all countries of the world. The world needs more infrastructure dedicated to mental health. It is terrible to see all the harassment that families of mentally ill patients have to face to get their loved ones a proper treatment. It's heartbreaking to see people not getting correct diagnosis for years. It is terrifying to see little children suffering and not getting proper care. I want more people to come forward and make an effort to understand us. Mental illness should no longer bear the stigma, which it still does!
I know these changes will not come in a year but we should strive towards making the world a "better place/ For you and for me/ And the entire human race"
With this new year I send a little prayer to every person suffering from mental illnesses. And finally I wish happiness and proper care for Jani, Bodhi, Briana and every little child at the mercy of their mind.
Remembering all those souls we lost this year...May they rest in peace
