First Post in 2010

Greetings!!!!!!!!! Happy New Year 2010.

First Post in 2010.

What a year 2009. Lots of Downs than UP's. But year 2009 has given to a lot of them rather Hard Lessons in the Life. Economic situation in India has done rather well when compared to 'Industrialised Countries', along with China, India is one of the few countries who shown growth in 2009. 7% growth is really great,when considering the situation all over. It is mostly spurred by the domestic growth.

America - capitalised economy, gave federal support to Banks, GM - nearly taking control. Now, the economic situation in Americal is looking northwards, hopefully Obama can deliver what he promised during the Elections.

India did exceedingly well in Cricket, reached the No.1 status in Test Rankings, truly a remarkable achievement. Indian Cricket has grown,with lots of young cricketers Gautam Gamhir, Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina, Dinesh Karthik.. doing well in international circuits,with Gautam Gambhir establishing himself in all forms of cricket. Viru, has done great this year, eventhough when compared to test cricket, his one day performances is not that great. Silently, Sachin has ruled the game of cricket for 20 years, that too in top level. Ishant Sharma, what a fall. Hopefully, will come back strongly. Dilshan, a changed cricketer, who is really a great treat to watch. Two good series are going on now, Aus Vs, Pak and SA vs Eng. In the second test Pak has outplayed Aussies , aussies allout for 127. Let.s see hos pak is doing in Batting and aussie in bowling. India, another Series in bangladesh - non-stop cricket.

What a fall for Tiger woods, fallen from the pinnacle to the rock bottom. 10 minutes of fight with his wife, has turned the whole world (or his mask has fallen down) upside down. Golf as game, has lost really a ambassador, hopefully Tiger will roar back. Golf does needs Tiger Woods. Comparitively, we should be proud of Sachin Tendulkar, who is really a shine in the armour, with nil controversies at top flight of International Media Glare. Really we should be proud.

Cinema: Nothing to be proud of in India. More bad films rather than good films. Avatar , 2012 are refreshing. Hollywood films dubbed in Indian Languages are doing rather good business rather than our home grown Bollywood, Tollywood, Sandalwood, Kollywood films... A R Rahman is the shining armour in the Industry as a whole. Grabbing Oscar Honours and nominated for Grammy's. 2010 - Endhiran, Ravan, eagerly awaited films by Shankar and Maniratnam respectively with Rajinikanth, Abhishek Bachan with Aish on both the films.

Politics: DMK winning all the elections, where they have written a rule on how to give money to voters and win the elections. COngress is doing rather unexpectedly well. Rahul Gandhi is really doing a great job organisation wise. Amma is still sleeping , not coming out of the comfort zone. IT is going to be tough year for Amma, to beat DMK, with the money power and clout they enjoy. Amma has to hit the road, be in touch with the Cadres and People. Hope and Pray Amma realises that. Congress in Delhi, as usual bungling in Telengana row. Hyderabad is burning, let's see what is the resolution to be in 5th Jan meeting. Rathore, after 19years, the old case is coming to haunt him. We should be proud or feel ashamed, is the moot point now. Atleast, Media is keeping the issue burning, sometimes, we can feel proud of our Democracy and Free Press. IN another spectrum there is Madhu Koda and Shibu Soren also. BJP is still trying to blame other people rather than blaming themselves. Still trying to find out reasons for the humbling defeat. There is also space for MNS, Shiv Sena etc.,

Good thing that has happened is the Fall of LTTE. Now, we should see how Lankan Government is rehabilitating and giving the requested freedom for the Eelam Tamils.
Al Qaeda is still going strong, and the latest proof is the failed attempt to blow up the detroit bound plane. Pak is burning with suicide bombings, israel continuing occupation of Gaza - in all that, common man is suffering. Repeated attempts to find a solution to the crisis in J&K is being foiled by Pak and they are facing the same medicine in their homeland.

Let's hope the new year ushers in Good Fortune for all.
