Destiny's Child

When Yo-Y-ma and Itzhak Perlman played out a musical tribute at the Presidential oath of Barack Obama, the camera panned on to 2 million hopeful faces which had come to hear his address to the nation.

With my sleepy son on the lap I also watched it with great hope and expectation that this man could rewrite the destiny of the world. He started off fumbling and toned downthe expectation hinting at the enormity of issues at hand, but moved on saying we will work with 'hope over fear'. In fact hope has been the central theme of his address. I could distinctly count the word 'hope' being repeated 6 times over the address.

So lets hope and pray that the destiny's child is able to deliver sustainable change.
