The Year , 2009 has , after offering us a roller coaster ride , has returned to its staring point , from where a new ride christened "2010" is ought to lead off . As far my knowledge of Physics goes , the displacement is zero but that is a pessimistic view . As everything has a brighter side , distance traversed will be obviously non-zero and so will be the experiences gathered during the sojourn - this must be the view of a true optimist. This year I have directed 2 films with immense and indispensable aid from my close friends and derived intense satisfaction from the creation , however small it may be. Now , it's becoming self-centered discussions . So , I would rather stretch the limit to country , at least i.e. what the country has observed through the eyes of its citizens. A global recession did hit INDIA like many other countries of the world resulting in loss of jobs and a scene of extreme hopelessness amongst all sections of the society . AILA did blow off our hats and huts making many of us without a home . Trees fell down like anything failing to resist it but succeeding to cut off power transmitted through overhead lines . But who are we to claim the NATURE ........ extreme weather events are but the extreme protest forms of NATURE to our atrocity of deforestation and polluting NATURE............Global Warming has today made the scientists around the globe rethink about exploiting natural resources to fulfill our needs . Conferences @ Copenhagen are a proof to that but responsible thinking must be developed within every being of the Earth otherwise we have to think whether other planets can be made suitable for human inhabitancy or not . Inflation has made it hard to meet the ends of middle class families and obviously those below that .
Brighter Side(s) : (1) Water found on the surface of Moon . (2) 3 Indians bagged 4 oscars . (3)India based documentary and feature film won oscars . (4) An Indian bagged the NOBEL prize for CHEMISTRY ............and a lot which can't be expressed by words or bought with Master Cards
Let's wish 2010 will multiply the positive part with a positive multiplier(of course) such that it overshadows the negative part , if any .
Are you for another ride ? Tighten your belts then.
