Year That Was - 2008



Wish You and your Family a very Happy and prosperous Year 2009 Ahead!!!

The above picture is not a greeting card but a spectacular snap captured by my dearmost freind at a place called Skandagiri near our own Bangalore. He was certainly on top of the clouds that day was'nt he ? It is such an aweesome snap!!

Finally,She,2008,goes away,Giving me the Hopes of a new begining!! It has been not such a good year for the world,for the people in the world! When she came in we,the commoners had lots of hope that she will bring peace,peace of mind,wealth and change. She came like a beautiful damsel.We never realised when she turned into a cursed witch. She made us see the worst of the worst. Made many of the common people Homeless and Jobless and Loose their Loved ones!

She will be remembered as the Queen of terrorist and the Ruler of financial crisis. I know it is not her fault anyways. Even she would not have imagined when she started a beautiful journey of her life that she will create so much Havoc to the human community ,the scar of which will never vanish.

The year 2009 has come with the hopes saying "Yes We can!" but when and how and who has alwyas been the unanswered question. "Yes we can" is the hope with which every guy on the street lives. Magic of words has won again. We will have to wait and watch if the questions, how, when and who are answered.

For me personally it has been a great year. I had the oppurtunity to visit Paris,Brussels,Amsterdam,Cologne.For a guy who has travelled only till bangalore nothward from his birth place,it is indeed a great achievement :-) I have had a fully paid vacation at my home for a month. What else do I need! This year has also added a couple more of good freinds whose company i'll cherish for a lifetime. What more can i ask for. I had the first floor of my house constructed according to my mom's specifications. Another of her dream comes true.And it is an year that has made a lazy bum like me hit the Gym,play cricket,and at times Jog even :-) I'm contended with what the angel 2008 gave me personally.She has given me no chance to crib :-)

But but but my dearmost 2008 why did u disappoint me in my career, you could have brought the financial crisis next year or next to next year, whyyy whyyy did u bring it along with you. You brought the same crisis and terrorism in 2002. Then and now I have been a victim of yours,did u ever realise this ? I was meant to be promoted this year, after almost 5 years in the industry I have learnt a lot but have always been unlucky. Inspite of the knowledge and experience i have gained I have remained unpromoted and at the lowest level all this while. I hope this pitiable state of me changes by the debut of 2009. That is the hope with which i have to move forward and I'm going to!!

Oyye 2009 beware, dont make false promises, If you are not going to do good for my people,my career,my personal goals,and me I'm going to break your bones and make you do what I would like you do, this is Shan's promise!

Bring peace ! Bring Harmony! Bring Tranquility! Bless food to everyone! Bless more trees be grown when you pass by us!

I welcome you with wide spread arms ,a warm hug and Lots of Hope ! Dont dare even think of disappointing me and us !!! :-)
