The year that was....

If my memories are not crumbling (which I am sure is not ;) ), then i haven't seen a year more eventful or happening than 2008.
Humanity getting slapped by the terrorism. The whole country was clenched by the terror and we kept facing it helplessly. Be it New delhi, Guwahati, Ahmedabad, Rajasthan, H'bad, B'lore or Mumbai, every part of our country is facing the atrocities of hineous terrorism.
Economy giving nightmares to everyone and one can only speculate but can't be sure for how long will you be in this situation.
Political turmoil and uncertainty making hubbub every other day. The face of politics getting uglier day by day. There was a very ironical/sarcastic blog which said that Mr Devgowda is much better than Mr Obama. One of the point mentioned that Mr Obama spent months to campaign for his Presidential post and Mr Devegowda just went to an all party meet for snacks and before he could come out of his peaceful naps he was elected the Prime minister of Indian republic. When Obama was elected the president he said, " If the world thinks that we cannot do everything then they should rethink." It shows the confidence of a Leader and the confidence in his countrymen. But we fool are still fighting to divide the county into regions.
On happier note, India still tries to shine assiduously inspite of all these external forces which try to corrode it. We have scientists who want to conquer the moon and we have shooters, boxers and cricketers bringing glories. Inspite of all these topsy-turvies, it is the spirit of Indians which tried to fight all the odds. The blasts can make the faces furious or the economic barometer can make the heartbeats go sinusoidal but nothing can curb the spirit of Indians. We know how to come out of every situation.

Though the new year hasn't started on a great note with the serial blasts in Guwahati, we hope the year will bring smile on the face of every Indian.
I have no resolution for the new year, but i just want to be brave and honest in whatever i think, plan and do.
