Paradox of our Time
Dear Colleagues,
I would like to share some information which I have seen in my old documents article named “The Paradox of our time” circulated by Dr. S K Bhattacharya, NIITR, Chandigarh.
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers. We spend more time, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge but less judgment, more experts yet more problems, more medicines but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom and hate too often.
Remember: spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever. Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side. Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn’t cost you anything.
Life is not measure by the number of breathes we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
Before ending this message, I would like to take this opportunity to thank contributors of current and previous issue of the newsletter and to express my appreciation particularly to the team of SWENEWS.
I would like to thank all my division members who came up with this idea of Newsletter for our division.
I hope this Newsletter will act as an interface between students and faculty members in transformation of Knowledge and skills.
Sincerely
G Jagadeesh
