This Place is Taken: Mixed Bag

Mixed Bag

 

Eighteenth year into the new millenium. How time flies. 2018 was a very large, mixed bag. Looking back, the first things that come to mind are…all those floods which hit us, in Kerala, then rest of India, hurricanes,  political hogwash, and all those over-the-top, never-ending celebrity weddings. While Trump’s goof-ups all over the world, and Brexit held most of the news, the world still found time for rescues (Thailand), videogames (fornite) and various, stupid video challenges (Kiki, anyone ?).

Is this really happening ? Has the world really come down to this ? Games and songs ? With 24 hour channels struggling to keep their pipelines full, we definitely had an overload of news this year. Too much , to the point of noise. People expressing their own personal opinions in the guise of news.

Our planet is revolting, all those hurricanes and floods are just curtain raisers to what our future holds for us. And here we are, fighting over temples and religion.

So, about time we throw this out and welcome the new year.

 

 

 

 

Wish you a very happy new year !!
