Analysis of Frames for the new-year
Raja Ghoshal 1974 (New Delhi)
Beyond every horizon there is a new sky
Old frames of reference give way to new metaphors
Roots once omnipotent, self-annihilate
We get used to patterns, by and by
One set of dreams are replaced
By a cautious moon, a hopeful sun
So what if the game changed, yet again
Welcome Twenty-Twenty One!
