      ONE of my lecturers told us we shouldn’t rely on hope to get us through difficult times because it creates a false sense of security. I got it but I just can’t accept the idea that life without hope is better. So many stories in this edition show why

      WINNING LETTER I recently overheard a young couple chatting in a coffee shop. ‘I just want to grow old and retire, sit, and stare at the ocean.’ Did he perhaps feel a need to unleash his anger, just like the waves crashing onto the rocks? Judging by

      1. BLISS

      Blessed are you, the kind soul

      With the gift of gab &

      The richness of thoughts & deeds-

      Grace of any rejoicing.

      Blessed are they who

      By the grace of God, get

      The pleasure of your voice,

      Company & consort.

      Blessed am I who

      By virtue of some forgotten

      Noble deed, have you

      In my thoughts

      Day & night.

      Hard as I strive

      To make you laugh

      And admire your face

      Glowing with mirth abandon

      & adorned with dimples-

      THE ULTIMATE BLISS!

      2. SONG OF MOUNTAINS

      Great is sight of valleys

      Guarded by majestic hills

      Bedecked with flowers, foliage-

      A feast for eyes

      Soothing is the cool breeze

      Sweeping gloom away

      Leaving in its trail

      Environs gay

      Snow clad mountains

      With shades of grey

      Beckon you scale me

      If you dare

      Serpentine pathways

      Entwining hillside

      Carry you to vista of

      Breathtaking views beside

      Blessed am I

      To have beloved mine

      To make
