How does one describe 2009?
Amongst the newsmakers- Andhra stood out. Starting the year with the massive Satyam scam, it staged an upset by winning the IPL in SA, from being a team written off last season, then the summer saw it being ravaged by floods washing away towns, the landslide victory of the congress was overshadowed with the dramatic death of its CM and then out of the blue the state almost split into two bringing many other forgotten statehood aspirations to the fore.
Amongst the TIME magazines best books of 2009 - fiction & non-fiction, this year I managed to read none, though I read a lot many non-fiction works this year.
I turned 40 this year. Like they say life begins at 40. Maybe I need to re-invent myself. Take up marathon running for instance. Maybe I will get younger. Maybe I should give in to wanderlust and try to backpack Europe next summer as I have been dreaming the last couple of years? Maybe I should burn midnight oil and finish my novel ? Salsa ? Maybe. Read 25 books? Maybe.
All in all, I think 2009 was a 'paused' sort of year - the year with the lull before the storm.
2010, I reckon, will be the year of action.

Hey Naveen,
As a fellow blogger and a media professional, 2010 surely looks like we're going to touch the sky. Hope its a good year. Infact hoping more that its a great decade.
