At the start of summer, I had
written in this blog that how important this summer is mainly due to the elections.
We eagerly await monsoons here in this part of world. Schools are set to begin
next week. Transition of seasons makes you feel nostalgic about something as
transient as time spent. I just remember New Year ringing in and we are almost
half way down the road. First World War started 100 years ago. 20th
century which shaped our generation is almost a forgotten just as the great
wars, cold war, Berlin wall, opening of Indian economy and finally Y2k.
Tinaeman square celebrates silver jubilee this summer. It was 1989 then. It was
also 1989 when someone as unknown as Michael chang won French open and this
year it’s known face of Nadal at Roland Garos. It was 1989 when i did my first
Himalayan trek after 10th exam. It was 1989 when India had the last
non coalition government and it is 2014 when we have same again.
25 years is a long time. It is a
quarter of the century. It is also a one third of human life on an average.
