Yellow ! Been a year and half since we last visited this page, and the world's changed quite a bit since then.
Obama's no longer the poster boy that he was in April 2009
Congress party back in power in India, with a bigger margin and bigger losers to run this country
The general populace is using the words "recession" and "depression" much less now, though a section of economists continue to hammer it, to death perhaps
Roger Federer is out of the dumps that he had put himself in around that time and since then has gone on to win 3 more grand slams and break Sampras's record on the way
Tiger woods has been demonised, chastised and subsequently, brought back because golf can't do without him
Button, the loser, who could win his first GP only after over a 100 races, goes on to win the Championship
Well, the list above is not really cohesive and not complete by any stretch but it does give an idea of how much can change in a year and half. But do one and half year really count that much when you look at the larger picture? I mean we all know someone who has gone on a sabbatical, taken a holiday to travel around the world or just killed a year doing what they have always done. Did the year and half and its passage mean that much to them as well, or did it pass by like a number? Given that average human lifespan is around, say 68 years, a year should mean a lot to each one of year! But how many of us really look at it like that? Or is it just me, over-obsessing about it? I think not, I think it is a big deal. But if I sit and worry about a the year that passed by, would I be able to do anything about and in the year that is passing by as we speak? Vicious circle, dearies ! :-)
I log off now, but I'll surely be back. More often, I promise myself, like always! I have things and thoughts in my mind that I want to share with the world (funny, because hardly anyone will ever see this blog, but one day, people may just start to..it's upto me to get up there :-) cheers fellas ! See you around, now and a year later !
