{" No wonder, the whole world is rejoicing, literally, at Obama’s victory. I now realise that I had not put my pen to paper for nothing at that time. Much has happened and changed from the late 1990s to the present day but the essentials of human existence and prosperity will never change, and hoping for the best is one aspect of it."}

Naqvi Sahib,
Very moving article and written with utmost sincerity and idealism. No, you were neither wrong nor ahead of your time then - you, and many of us, have been beaten over and over again into submission. Yes, we have become accustomed to up being down, right being wrong, and day being night. We are all awaking from a long, dismal, violent nightmare that has lasted eight long years. Welcome back.

Salim Ahmed Chauhan
