New Year Greetings

"Past performance may not be repeated", say fund advertisements. All the more reason, why, for enduring a tough year 2011, I believe, 2012 is going to be our most memorable year even if the Mayans believe the world will end. Mahesh Murthy rightly said - if indeed the world will come to the end - more reason to live it as your last. Forget future babble (I don't believe these predictions just as s...omebody said the world war-3 will happen in 1999), hope you have a timeful mastery over present tense happiness, lots of gratitude for things already had, self-realisation, success at work and home, health and creative satisfaction, and lots of non-facebook fond memories and good news your way. May you get drunk in 2012 on matters that dont need endorsements from Liquor brands like Smirnoff, or Chivas Regal. 2012 is already an exciting special year - Olympics in a pound-foolish nation, Elections in dollar nation, all months having minimum 29 days, food inflation at 0.42 pc (Pick your cherries tonight for free!), stock markets and real estate more likely to go higher (after hitting where they want to go lower), tax-free rates of 8.25 pc, multi-starrer movies in Tollywood and movies which have Aamir Khan as villain, super-fine books and e-books in 2012 (and I will release my list of 2011 tonight or tomorrow) , Parliament getting tested at the lowest base by the commons, and Rupee and Reforms needing new filip.Exciting to be alive into the waking hours of 2012 - the pendulum of time keeps swinging back and forth, rarely pausing at the "sweet medium" of arc. Its for us to live life fully every moment. Happy New Year friends and Have an Year that gives a good account of yourselves!
