Imagine a world in which everytime you wake, you hear some
good news..a world where every dream of yours turns to reality upon wakening and
you are forever happy. Or one where at least we see some good charitable stuff
happening!
Cheers! There is reason to smile yet.

When I look at the morning paper, it unfortunately seems
like a mourning paper. The paper cries
and quite literally, over rising prices, rising corruption, rising unemployment
and some more over falling currency, failing economy and failed government.
I quickly turn the
pages to catch a glimpse of something good which must be happening around the
world. There MUST be something good
somewhere, I argue. After all, why would God create a world where nothing is
right. Do we need another flood and another saviour before the world has
something good to offer?
I turn page after page, hoping to glimpse at one good news
at least. Alas – there is none. Even the comics are a satire. Is it possible to
have 7 billion people the world over and not one good event happening? Or is it
murphy’s law that we see only the bad
news? I now look at each and every news headline. It goes thus: Politiocos
fight amid border crises; Onion prices are up; Rupee at a record low; Gold
prices are up again; Scam!!
My God! I put the paper down. No wonder there is so much
depression around. I have given some more fodder to the “bad” news hungry media “India suffers
from depression!” That would be the irony of it.
I take refuge in the net. Google is the new devta (God) of
internet. If Google doesn’t know – possibly no one does! So I Google it out. The
results are heartening. Although I don’t find them in one place. There is no
dedicated site for the good news. Here
are some findings...at least it may bring a smile to your lips. I would try to
continue this endeavour throughout this week and bring forth more good news to
you.
However, from the
news below, I can safely say: DON’T WORRY! THE WORLD IS NOT ENDING TOMORROW!
