Ring out the old, ring in the new as the poet laureate said so tellingly. Adieu 2011, tomorrow I'll say Welcome 2012. Looking back, the year that went will be remembered by different people for different reasons; in Egypt perhaps for Hosni Mubarak's ouster, in Libya for Gaddafi's final end in Europe for the slowdown and closer home, in India, for the year of the World Cup and the Lokpal Bill; for the end of the CPI bastion in Bengal, for Woman Power making its presence felt (Didi firmly established in Bangla land and Bahan ji & Amma's back in power in other parts of the country) for the resounding beats of Kolaveri Di that-inexplicably-took the nation by storm, to name just a few....
Coming to little me as a person, 2011 was a very special-a momentous-year as both my children found their calling, their place in the sun. A big God Bless to them and humble gratitude to the Almighty.
Welcome 2012. May there be greater joy, sounder health and happier moments for everyone, everywhere!!
