We all have our share of good and bad things that happened in 2008 and we are all eagerly looking forward to the New Year with great hopes.
The year 2008 will always be remembered for the Mumbai terrorist attacks. Now as the New Year begins, India is into intense discussions with Pakistan on how to wipe out terrorism right from its roots.
On the global front, the “great” economic recession happened casting its dark shadow over the whole world. We are still in its dark shadow waiting desperately for it to move away from our horizon. The year 2009 will be crucial in this respect. The whole world is looking up to Obama to see how the new president of the US is planning to turn around the economy.
What was the best thing to happen to me in 2008? Well, the authorities decided to fill up the craters on the roads, which were the trademark of the Airport road. I have personally visited the depths of one of these craters. What do I look forward to in 2009? I hope the street light along the road will open their eyes, taking us back from the time when stars and the moon guided travelers.
I guess Bangalore has a one-hour relaxation on late night parties although it does not seem to be good idea to be on the road at that time. I am sure people haven’t forgotten how an unruly crowd molested a newly wed in front of a hotel in Delhi after a party. Both censored and uncensored versions of the incident did their rounds in the media, adding injury to the insult. Looks like the police will be really busy this New Year.
