Happy New Year 2010
I wish all of you a very happy new year day. I hope everyone gets what he/she wants this year. This wish is even more pertinent to a class of species who are going to graduate out of a bschool and are wondering if the economy has recovered enough for them to get a job. With an average liability of 8Lac on each of the student, people are praying that they have a salary decent enough for them to pay off the EMI. He he, just kidding guys. The economy has recovered and everyone would have multiple offers.

Year 2010 started off in a very unusual way as I was caught in a traffic jam at 00:00 hrs on Jan 1. I had gone for dinner with my closest bunch of buddies to Mint and had a nice dinner( It was nicer as it was sponsored by a friend). We all wanted to be in campus on time for the new year as this would be the last new year that I can celebrate in my beloved Hel(L). But then as they say, man proposes and God disposes and we were all wishing new year to each other in a taxi. Few of my friends tried to do a "LEAD INDIA" by playing the role of traffic constable and clear the traffic jam. However, they forgot that its Lucknow and to expect people to have road sense is like asking a bit too much. Anyways, I used this opportunity to lay down full stretch in the ambassador taxi and had a power nap for 30 minutes.

We finally reached the campus at 00:30 and then wished everyone we met and it was such a happy moment. I generally don't give much of a significance to any particular date be it Jan 1 or Feb 14 or Apr 21 ( to the uninitiated, I was born on this day. I know you would have guessed it as you are a smart ass but then even smart asses like a pat on their back ). However, it was nice to see so many smiling happy faces around you, all of them forgetting their own tension, sorrows for a fleeting second and just celebrating the arrival of a new year as if it is the arrival of a new epoch.

I hope 2010 would be really lucky for all of us. I am praying for few things this year which I have not done so in earlier years. I am pretty excited about this year as I have lots to look forward to. Au revoir 2009 and welcome 2010
