A New Year has Come....well almost!!

The new year is almost upon us. The current year has been a mixed bag. It had it's great moments as well as the very worst. The best will be us winning not only gold in Olympics but also two other medals, as also the end of nuclear apartheid that we were being subjected to for long, last but not least will be the success of out scientists in helping us join the lunar club. On the downside the share market has crashed, though it's more an effect of the sub-prime crisis. We were shown to be a soft target for terrorists this year like no other, what with them hitting at will. It reached it's nadir when ten young men in their twenties could come ashore from the sea to attack Mumbai. And yes the politicians kept playing us one against the other. I hope this new year sets this right at least if nothing else, a hope that we will get real leaders. Leaders who will think of the country and it's people first and politics later. And I have one emotional wish to make, can we please have good bullet proof jackets for our police force, one's which are actually bullet proof and don't lead to people dying instead of wearing them!!
So here's signing off for this year with lot's of hope for the coming year...may it really be a HAPPY NEW YEAR for all of us..Amen.
