Our thoughts drift back to the events and people that shaped our lives over the past 12 months. It was a year of delight for some; sorrow for many; and frustrated hopes and despair as they tried to cope with the problems problems of life. The texture of our lives shifted and changed with the growing cost of living; the gloomy voices of labour disputes, violence, high taxes, etc. Unpleasant Unpleasant as are all these conditions, are we mindful of our blessings? Let us be thankful that we live in a free country; with freedom of speech, religion and education. May I wish each and everyone a very Happy New Year!
