As we bid adieu to yet another year in our lives..lets look back and say a silent prayer for the dearly departed and the small mercies that came our way, this past year. One of my colleagues had put up a rather telling "Waiting for this God Damn Year to End" as her GTalk status message from early November itself. It's easy to gauge why..2009 (atleast till the last quarter) was replete with job losses and salary cuts. Music lovers were jolted by the sudden demise of M. Jackson even as they rejoiced at the Oscar-whammy of home boy AR Rehman. Politics was drenched in the Congress colours and young leaders took their oaths. The nation mourned as it remembered 26/11/08 and the 25th anniversary of the assassination of our first female PM Indira Gandhi, the ensuing anti-sikh riots and the Godhra carnage. The lack of rains did us in..we complained about the water cuts and (I suspect very few) gave a serious thought to the plight of the dying farmers. The more the suffering that faces our being, the more we get 'accustomed' to it..and The Hindu still remains the ONLY national English Daily with a 'rural affairs' editor. But on a positive note..we've just had a fabulous cricket series and the economy is definitely resurging..May 2010 bring more such good news...On that note, here's wishing everyone a Happy New Year. The year of the Tiger is here..and there's much to look forward to..for homebodies.. Best regards, Megha |
