All of us want to be happy and gratitude is the powerful catalyst for
                           happiness. It’s the spark that lights a fire of joy in your soul.”


                                                 As I sit to pen down my
                thoughts for the magazine this year, the first emotion that comes to my mind is
                  Gratitude. My heart today is filled with thankfulness for all that I have. This

                has been a particularly bad year. Death, disease and insecurity is all around and
                all of us are struggling with some problem or another. The world has completely
                  turned topsy- turvy for most of us. The question foremost in people’s mind is
               “why me”. Definitely a very normal reaction when your world has stopped due to

                   the loss of someone close, loss of jobs and economic disaster, falling sick or
                 just staying home knowing that stepping out can lead to exposure for self and
                   family. But now more than ever we need to look inward and see things in a
                 different perspective. As someone said, “If you concentrate on things that you

                 have you will always have more but if you concentrate on things that you don’t
             have you will never have enough.”   Hence it is the time now to develop the ATTITUDE
                  OF GRATITUDE. The first step is to do a bit of introspection and ask yourself
                     that in-spite of all the difficulties what are the things that you do have.

                 Then, look at yourself inward and be thankful for all that you have that makes
                   you functional on a day-to-day basis. Life is not always fair and many of us
                have had to change our lifestyle and move away from our comfort space. But this
                   is the time to realize that these problems should make us better versions of

                                                        ourselves.
