So long 2008, Welcome 2009

31st December 2008

It had its finer moments like Abhinav Bindra winning the first individual Olympic gold for India, the nuclear deal, India beating Aussies more than once but this is not what you are more likely to remember 2008 a few years down the line. What will stick out like a sore thumb at the mention of 2008 is the market meltdown and the terror attacks in Mumbai. The time to say good buy to 2008 and welcome 2009 is here and let's hope the New Year brings happiness, peace and prosperity.

It is the time to say goodbye to 2008 but definitely not the time to let it all rest. To actually hope that 2009 will be better than 2008, we need to constantly remind us what happened as that is the only motivation for us to prevent that from happening. Although very few people control the fate of market, we all can make a difference by coming together when it comes to combating terrorism.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

The best way I could think of posting the last post of the year was posting a picture of Manu. Fortunately for me, I got just the right image at just the right time. This picture was taken last Sunday after we came back from Shirdi.
