Top ten things to watch out for in 2015


Top ten things to watch out for

As the New Year approaches, one sees a lot an analysis of the past year with a desire to understand an year gone by….
So I thought let me take the lens and flip it 180 degrees to understand what are the top ten things that one should watch out for in 2015!
But Before I begin its important to start with a
Disclaimer :
The list is very subjective and completely my take . Any resemblance to another humans thought is purely coincidental!
Warning : Being pessimistic is bad for health, it is important to read the following write with utmost hope because I haven’t written it with 100% hope alone. Too utopian. Create the hope yourself, be the change.

So let begin the countdown

10. whats next in Bollywood women?
    all weekend newspapers, magazines are talking about how the Bollywood heroine has emerged form the shadows ….if interpreted correctly , how they no longer run around trees, be the hero’s arm candy but now actually play the lead in their own right !. I have been studying this phenomenon since 2010…so I think the thing to look out for in 2015 is what will be the next metamorphosis . Hoping with all my might that it shouldn’t be they displaying the man as arm candy. Though it sound equivalent and empowering, it definitely isn’t

9. how much of water will be left and rivers?
everyday I cross ad river turning first into a dwindling stream but now resembling a pond . My heart sinks. In yesteryears it was called the Yamuna, I can’t all it that today . What a cost to pay for development. Rivers are the source of life, the mothers, gods of human survival on the planet. Hoping that I see my river come back in stream.




8. will India rise above religion
I thought I voted for good governance, my vote had no web or real connectivity with my religion. Can this country I belong to, educate the world on a true democratic functioning. Will the India that could shine but is right now trying to fall at the feet of a God imagination of myopic individuals rise above all.

7. what will be the next fear or psychosis
first it was public functions, then markets then disowned toys, railway trains, airplanes…..now it is school. Of all the places in the world, the attack on helpless young school kids. it may have happened thousands of miles away, but every parent now will live with the dormant feeling of fear when kids go to school .
what more can even happen !

6. will football take over a nation of 125 crore
now for the hopeful. Cricket ahs the new competitor. At last, do I need to say more. Hoping though that football cant be fixed. 

5.  will we see cleaner India
Swach Bharat brought the real hope in our hearts, The daily questioning of why our surrounding suddenly look like heaps of waste strewn everywhere did reach the corridors in Luytens clean corridors. Lets see how much can we clean.

4.  will Arnab’s news still be entertaining and Kapil laughriot be the same
The potential Arnabs and potential Kapils are all gearing up. All imitation has failed. Will they retain their lead?

3. will the robot finally make a debut  at our doorstep
How can a countdown exist without Human being next best friend or only friend today- the lovely GADGET! Any kind any shape any colour…it is so impressive you forget to even raise your neck to see other fellow beings. So will 2015 bring the robot to our house programmed to talk only what we want to hear.

2 will southeast asia finally emerge as the dragon that’s woken up?
They are all looking at the East. Will the region fiannly rise from that slumber or it’s just a numbers game. Wondering…

1.    will we find that new habitable planet !! with friendly aliens
Finally , now that we are hellbent on ruining our dearest habitable planet and have already started conditioning ourselves to movings elsewhere. First destination being Mars , I wonder if 2015 will bring more news on the other options….possibly with company …..LETS keep those fingers crossed!

In any case , have a great year ahead and no harm preparing your own list of top ten wishes.
