Festiwitti # 4 : Goodbye to 2012





Goodbye, 2012. You had us on a see-saw all year.

You kept us on tenterhooks for 355 days, wondering whether we’re all going to die. In the meantime, you showed us that Felix Baumgartner, at least, isn’t afraid to ! You took away Verghese Kurien,Yash Chopra, Rajesh Khanna, Jagjit Singh, Ravi Shankar, Jaspal Bhatti, among others. You gave us Gangnam Style, and made sure one billion of us participated in the viewing of that particular bit of madness. You gave us Hurricane Sandy , and you gave us Narendra Modi and Barack Obama – again ! You finally got Qasab his just desserts, but you left Nirbhaya’s justice for the New Year.

In 2013, what are you going to do for us ? What are you going to take away ? Please give us more hope, and less heartbreak; please ensure more hilarity, more humility, less hedonism, more humanitarianism, less haste…..please warm the globe less and our hearts and our hearths more…..please restore faith, and dispense with futility.

Happy New Year to all the people in my blogworld. Here’s hoping that the coming year brings you fun, freedom and fulfilment.
