Now and then…
Just as we were gearing up for another long hot summer, the rain gods smiled.  Chennai has been seeing overcast skies and light showers for a whole week now.   The city enjoys a much needed respite no doubt, but I wonder if the unseasonal showers we are experiencing are a direct effect of global warming…
Looking back, I began this blog on a reminiscent note, but it has now taken on a socio-economic/ environmental tone.  Perhaps it is because subconsciously I realize that issues pertaining to the present and future are more pressing.
Carl Sandburg once said, ”The past is a bucket of ashes.”  I’m not sure I subscribe to
that rather extreme view, are you?  I wouldn’t have changed my childhood (until age 16) for anything, and enjoy going back now and then…
As late as the mid ’80s I couldn’t have even remotely imagined what the future would bring in terms of technology.
