Happy New Year Welcome To Warrier's COLLAGE On Thursday January 1, 2026 Friends Happy New Year to all readers and Happy Birthday to all having Birthday during this month. Collage took a year end holiday. I was following the interaction in the groups which I access and was happy to see the contributions and responses from members.

Welcome To Warrier's COLLAGE On Sunday December 21, 2025 Collage Editorial Collage took a short holiday. When I was listening to Sri Sri Ravishankar speaking at UN on the World Meditation Day [Please see the link below] once again remembered the Art of Living programme I had attended and a question from the Program Moderator in the concluding session : "What way you think people will remember you, when you are out of sight?" My answer : "From whatever impression I'm able to leave in their minds or later, from whatever they come to know of the work I may continue to do" Last week one day Dr D Ajit and I talked for 19 minutes over the phone.

Though I am on the FB and...

Though I have to my credit thousands of published LTTEs(Letters To The Editor) and a collection of 80 plus such letters published in book form, none of my responses on the current flight disruptions was found printable by the editors.
