    Congratulations to St. Agnes for organizing a Seminar on Gods, Guns and Globalism. All the three topics are essential to ponder in these times. They have the following benefits:-
    a) In today's world, more and more people are keeping away from the faith in God. Many of them have their own priorities and philosophies to adhere to in their daily busy life.
    b) Guns in India should be restricted at all levels and at all times. There are more than 100 million Guns floating in America, and as a result there are so many shootings and killings each passing day. Guns have therefore become part of the Economy.
    c) Globalization is an important factor to consider in this age and time. The World at large is very much out of balance with the "supply and demand". The Leaders of the world are therefore striving to identify our wants and needs, and accordingly balance our dependency on global resources. Globalization has its downfalls on so many areas of business and economy, but that's become part of the reality of life. Gradually we hope the situation will come to normalcy. When and how is a big question.

    Best of luck to St. Agnes for all their good work that will benefit their students.
