Time for Season's Greetings. You get to hear and respond with, "Happy New Year".

So, are our wishes mechanical, like the automatic recorded messages on phone?
Well, humans are not lifeless keyed-up clocks that tick away, with days passing into weeks,
weeks changing into months, and months, rolling into years.
We are supposed to make most of this gift of life. These ordinary things teach us a lot: the
dew-drop sparkles before it dries up, the flower sheds fragrance before it withers, the ice cream
spreads sweetness and coolness before it melts away.
So, what are we doing to make life better for ourselves and others?
While we think of our own fun and frolic, there are these everyday
heroes, who dash with josh to put smiles on others' faces — save those
in distress, ease the stress of animals, free birds, etc. They do this, at
times, risking their own lives.

They are not celebrities, yet they need to be celebrated as they do real
things that matter, with great concern for others.

What can we give our fellow men — little things, that make a big
difference to them? Pujya Guruji gives you simple, neat ideas to live by!
Doable by anyone, anywhere, at any time!

More on all these inside... Hope you find it as worthwhile, as we did,
putting it all together for you — our hope, our happiness, our sunshine
— who else, but all you moppets.

Ring in the new, with a better-batteried you! Sparkle! Shed!
Melt! Mingle! Jingle! Giggle!

Heartful and Hearty 2024 from all of us here to all of you, out
there!
