2011 - The year started with a bang & made us feel that the worse of 2008-09 was behind us for good.
Poor judgements and scandals were not going to raise their ugly heads..
The year saw many a revolutions, public uprising against regimes that ppl thought would never change.
We witnessed political history being made, which led us to think we would finally succeed as a generation which awakened to its moral obligation.
The second half of the year saw the dreaded fangs of recession loom large and resulted in Euro Crisis and political changes. However these changes didn't bring back any hope for the commoners.
Lot of Natural disasters struck the world..(most of them never made it to the Indian News Channels)
India, supposedly poised to become a super power flattered to deceive. Anna's agitation touched a nerve. This also fizzled out and by the end of the year seemed just another example of common man not willing to go the distance for the cause (happier with a fuel price cut, Food subsidy and low inflation).
Loss of many great public figures through year & ever rise of reality (whose I don't know) television kept the News (not sure if I should call it that) World buzzing.
Sporting glories for India in terms of long cherished dream of the Cricket World Cup made every Indian Happy for a while... (very big achievement for a country of a billion ppl)
Though this was soon followed by an embarrassing defeat against England (Boohoo).
My point, through out the year we as ppl of India have managed to hold on to the hope (at times seen fading) that it will get better..(hum honge kamyab) too cliched I know.
The "never lose hope spirit" of India makes what otherwise seemed a gloomy year ahead one filled with hope and expectations.
Finally before bowing out of this I would say "K Sera Sera" & lets all make an effort to make it a good one..
