Almost a half year gone. Life is going on, on its course though less pacer than anticipated. You know we want our life to run faster and reach our goal sooner. But in real, it doesn't happen that way. Lots of bumps on the road, lots of blockade, economic blockade, non-economic blockade and the like. Lots of obstacles to pass through. It isn't always a pleasant experience to tell you the truth. That's why changes always have to be made but while not changing the target or the goal in mind. Routes are many that you can take to reach your goal even if your main route is in blockade forever like the ongoing economic blockade in Manipur by ANSAM or the UNC. The only difference it's going to make is the time differential. But as i always say time is very important. We mortals are bound by it. Whatever you do, whatever you think, whatever you aspire is bound by time. How i wish we could be freed from time some day. We are all slaves to time. Whether you like it or not.
Even so continue to pursue your dreams.
The world is not always the same. It keeps changing if you keep track of it everyday. We also, if you notice, change. Change is inevitable. In fact, today i am one day older than yesterday. That's a change. There's always winds of change blowing across this universe. And a tree never stands erect when the wind blows over it. It bends even if a little, with the wind direction as it blows. Otherwise it will break itself.
Change with the change of time but never compromise your core values, i.e. that is the character. When it loses, you don't exist. So never lose it. Character. This is where many fail.
There is always this belief, grass is greener on the other side of the pasture. Some truth may be there but not always. Being this belief as premise, many tend to compromise their core values when they accept changes. So when a culture dies, society becomes dead. Change is inevitable but change without compromising your culture.
It's sad to say that Manipur is on the boil again. People of Manipur are facing extreme hardships, pain and agony. Scarcity of food commodities and skyrocketing of prices of essential items have become acute while the two lifelines of the state are being strangulated in the name of economic blockade by hill based ANSAM and UNC. While they may have some reasons in doing so, blockading indefinitely of the lifelines amount to strangulating the lakhs of Manipuris both of hills and valley, which is a crime against humanity.
Change isn't always pleasant.... but change anyway when needed.
