I stopped updating this blog in March 2009 because of lack of time. My final semester examinations were on and hence I left writing here. But now I am back and will be writing here regularly.
When I left this blog, there were many things on the charts. And these things happen and outcome has been not that bad, not so good. I will try to recollect what happen in last 7 months in India. If I miss something, do make a note below and remind me.
1. Indian Premier League 2- well, this does not exactly happen in India but Indian have a big part in it. IPL2 was played in South Africa because Indian government told Mr. Lalit Modi that they cannot guarantee security in the matches due to general elections. But seems like Modi is a tough man (read stubborn), and he arranged to have this tournament in SA. Everyone was looking forward to this mega event but strangely, this was not a hit. The reason may be held outside India, low scoring matches or people had enough of T20 but one thing is for sure, Modi have to give a hard thought before IPL3.
2. General Elections 2009- Elections 2009 was held in five phases and as anticipated and wished by me, Indian National Congress emerged as a clear winner. It might be not very strange to western countries but only Indian know what it takes to win the majority seats in India in succession. I wish INC and its workers a long and successful rule in India.
3. Bollywood Resumed- Indian cinema had to shut down in mid February because of a tussle between the producers and multiplexes over revenue share and finally, it came to an end in June releasing bulk of multi starrer and big budget movies. As a result, some ‘may be hit’ movies have to suffer and they managed average collections. But for die hard Indian cinema fans, there are lots of new flicks around the corner.
4. Death of YSR- the death of Andhra Pradesh CM Y S Reddy was a huge setback to Indian politics. He was the man of words and tough decisions. He had already brought lots and lots of changes to the state and his death has given a huge setback to those who were hoping for a revival under him. May his soul bless in peace.
Other stuff has happened in between and it is very difficult to cover it in one post. I will be updating this regularly. Keep dropping your comments.
