2010: Learning From What's Happened...

Well... This isn't your usual look-back to the year that you usually read in the newspaper columns... This one's different, pretty different, because here, I want to emphasize on those 12 events of the year, which left an effect on me. Drastic one too, probably. Those events from which I learned, from which I changed, from which, the world learned, from which, the world changed. On to it then... January, 2010 Haiti, 2010 It was a usual evening in Haiti, and one of the worst earthquakes of human history hit this small nation of the Caribbean Islands. Most of us out here in India, don't even know where it is (confession: even I didn't till it began making the headlines)... Probably not a big thing. Probably just your usual earthquake which Indonesia and Japan face every once in a while. But for me, this has one specific importance. The whole of America came together to support this neighbour of theirs. In a world where people of neighbouring coun

There are moments when from within the crowd, Stands up a person who was once a no-one, And then he sets out to touch the skies, Just to come to know as 'Someone'... I have been there once when I was little, Stood up and fell down as everyone, Tried and succeeded, fought and lost, Never cheated, and in the end, I was 'Someone'... Until when I had a choice to make, From wanting to be someone to everyone, A cynosure, a public figure, may be, even a celebrity, To being something for the one, everything to 'Someone'...

Just a few lines which were destined to be...
