Christmas

Perhaps the most meaningful Christmas has been held in a little village in Sasaram in Bihar, which has just seen violence, oppression, but this was followed by a tense but peaceful resolution of the conflict.

Not many people this season can make merry because of the rising food prices in India, with meat, poultry and vegetables facing 40 to 50 percent increases in price.

My wish is that despite the recession, may goodness, sharing and peace be with one and all.
