The last month of December is here. It’s the end of a magnificent year. The Christmas is coming. The jingling bells, the shining stars, the crowded markets of 'made in China' bulbs, all of them sprung at once, marking its arrival.

Everything has changed and everyone vows to change. The new year is knocking at the door, and perhaps we need everything new. It is now the markets are introducing fresh lighting techniques, recent technologies and latest fashion. Even the Bible proclaims an end to the Old Testament with the arrival of Jesus Christ, the protagonist of New Testament. And the great time has undergone a division. The past has been called Before Christ and the present started living on.

Leaving the past behind, can one march towards the future? A champion achieves his goal, when he recovers from the pains of the past, realising those steps that led to his failure, and then heading to a bright future, with his tactics counteracting all errors. Obviously the tactful steps are new, but they emerged from the old.

With LEDs and lasers replacing the petromax, clubs, we are changing from tip to toe. And we are yielding for much more changes!!

This new year let’s renew ourselves by keeping our identity, our rituals, our wishes, our environment, our family, our values, our friendship, our career, our responsibilities and ourselves. Jesus Christ was the fulfillment of all the majestic predictions of a great King that is proclaimed through out the Old testament.

May we turn a fulfillment of all expectations of a great birthday, pre-planned by an unknown creator. May be this is how reality meets destiny.
