Finally its December again. Its that time of year which demands all celebrations with three birthdays, anniversary, Xmas and year end apart from other events planned around.
This forum is dormant for a while thanks to various new challenges, geography shift and events. Last year has been hectic.
With 2019 looming and Congress less India seem to be a reality its all about three states: Karnataka, Kerala and WB. These states are real concern thanks to worst politics played. In J&K, J is dominant over K and with forces squeezing out bad elements things are going north.
This part or world also has various political connotations impacting politics , sociology , healthcare and economy. Only time will tell the outcome but lot of uncertainly still prevails.
Technology domain remains turbulent thanks to disruptive technologies and processes but India has few things to offer. Its all about innovation.
Changes due to demonetization and GST have been absorbed and man on street has coped well. Make in India is not moving forward so is needed is momentum on swachh Bharat as pollution control.
Cricket has seen glorious seasons but no lies the real litmus test in overseas conditions.
Next year is the year of WC soccer and with draws just out will witness first WC without Italy or Netherlands.
Bollywood had very few creative moments but dogged by controversies.
My city Pune had few announcements like Metro, but real problems still persist without solutions like traffic, roads, waste management, crime etc.
Finally wishing all a very happy new year 18. Lets hope we have better 18 as this century turns adult.
