I don't think you will be interested if I pen down a summary of the whole twenty years that added on in my life; given that I have ultimately cleared the smog and dust laying with this URL for more than a year and a half. My last post was incidentally in June 2018.
Two decades or twenty years. Well, that's not my present age; wish though. Its a fifth of the 2000s and the fun way we teens of the nineties used to look at, the new New Millenia and Y2K!! Well, I am not very much informed about how the Y2K virus infected our digital world, but its cousins did infect our digital life with a term called social media viral. As nineties teens, we were more inclined to yahoo chats and later on a bit of Orkut. With facebook boom, apps and the advent of smartphones, life went on to a different level. Following the tune that binds the world, I too was maintaining one thing in my life constant: Change. Rather say, transformations; many in fact...
Entering the new millennia was by itself a landmark. With the world intermediately poised with terror, radicalism and development; the age of the empire got real evermore. No place was paradise and anything can happen anywhere. Be it an attack or taking selfies. You can fall if not careful. The transition from school to undergraduate college and then to higher education needed a lot of adaptations. Changing faces, lifestyle, taste and ideologies are the four most significant things that I think marks these 20 years of the new millennia. But, to slurp up all these was stepping from being a student to an earning man. Personally, though, I think everyone is a student for life and knowledge and the opportunity to learn never erases from your life. Unfortunately, the bitter ones come more to mind than the happy moments and that is because bitter times leaves more deep impact than the happy moments. Psychology states that it is important to remember the good times more often for your mental health; but the fear of encountering the bad times makes you persistently move towards betterment. That's my perspective though! (Do pen your comments on that though).
In life, you get many choices. I got some. But coming decade I look forward to a better world and better news items to read. In the nineties you could read about sports more, being the highlight of the newspaper. Nowadays, the more you read the paper, the more protests, uprising comes to the limelight. Good things are happening though; you have electric cars, manned missions to Mars and the two Voyagers have entered the interstellar space! We still have shrinking Antarctica, Artic and missing aircrafts! Come on! We are better than that. Ultimately, we are on a piece of dust in this universe. As Dr. Carl Sagan wrote in his book Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space: "Look again at that dot"... Voyager 1 sent a goodbye picture to earth from approximately 6 billion kilometres away; a pale blue dot basked in the ray of sunlight. That's our home, our earth, all our relatives, emotions, properties and millions of years of evolution from a single cell. Interesting that day was 14th February 1990. We can make things better for our love we call Mother Earth, a lot better. That's what my soul says...
