Well the year is coming to an end and now is the time when you do the audit of the year. The 1st thing that comes to my mind about 2010 is probably the state of affairs of the global economy. 2010 started with a lot of pessimism about the global economy. There was this fear of failure of European Countries and Middle Eastern Countries. In the 2nd half of the year things started to improve. Although there is this fear of double dip recession but at the year end overall the feeling is good and may be, just may be 2010 will be remembered as the year when things turned around.
Indian economy was also trying to stand tall after the blow in last 2 years. Indian markets have been blossoming for last 18 months and this year GDP numbers have started to back the bull rally. Indian growth and prosperity have been so huge that this year we have unearthed scam worth lakhs of crores of rupees. (Common Wealth Games and 2G spectrum allocation scam) When economy rises the scale of corruption must also rise afterall the countries success is measured by its scam size. Today India 's tax payers have that much money that we can sponsor such big Ghotalas. Ab yeh sab ke baad chara ghotala, bofors and other ghotalas seems so chindi. Talking of chara ghotala, apne Lalu ji ka bahut yaad aata hai,specially since he has almost disappeared from the limelight.
Once a reporter asks Lallu ji: "Lallu ji aap kehte the jab tak samose mein aloo tab tak Bihar main hai Lallu. to kya huwa."
Lallu ji replies: "bak burbak... sahi to kheta hoon ... magar aaj kal samosa bhi to chinese banne laga to jab samosa mein hi nahi hoga aloo to bihar mein kaise hoga laloo."
(the above joke is patented by me)
I feel by far this year did belong to the Indian Sports. We had an excellent run at the CWG and Asian games. In Cricket we held on to No 1 test team status (but after SA series don't know for how long). In ODIs also we did good. We almost have the no 1 female Badi champ. In tennis Paes and Bhupatti have tied knot again for 2011 and some bright stars are also shinning. We did exceptionally well in sport and beat Pakistan almost every time but Pakistan took the final honors with winning away our Sania.
I guess more on 2010 later .... for now Chao
