The New Year set upon us today – a cold, foggy morning. While TOOMA and I spent much of the morning doing what we do best – catching up on our respective beauty sleep, the rest of the world embraced the spanking new 2010 shiveringly, a song and a smile set upon their lips, fingers deftly texting messages – some forwarded, some their own creation, while phones – that most definitive of technologies – were reached out for to connect with loved ones.
As the clock struck midnight, many other couples ushered in 2010 with us at the swanky lounge – with the due amount of ‘spirit’ and gusto the occasion demanded. The crystal ball gleamed in the psychedelic lights as the resident DJ, in his booming voice, announced a brand new year.
The year ahead looks bright. Markets look optimistic about completely erasing memories of the two worst economic years of all times. Newspapers herald a series of people-to-people cross-border cultural interactions between two sworn enemy nations. The Auto-Expo ‘roars’ to life in another 4 days in Delhi, while the Commonwealth games will be upon us in another 10 months. FIFA World Cup will get ‘kick’-started. Probably all those top-level meetings by global leaders would make some headway in the field of climate change, and also take a sterner stand against the ugly face of terrorism. Sex and the City - the movie, comes out with a sequel, much to the delight of deliriously-happy women like me, and set the cash registers ringing for fashion brands worldwide. Michael Schumacher also looks set to make the king of all comebacks. The Apple tablet and the Xbox Project Nato will be released – gadget-lovers rejoice!
Quite a few things to mull over. Things look good for sure.
And on that optimistic note, I wish you a year of peace, contentment, joy and prosperity. God Bless!
