Happy new year

Mother earth has been carrying me for over 20 years and I have recollected 14-15 new year and every new year brings with it the large burden of expectations which could outweigh Santa and his gift packets. The year 2010 has outweighed all expectations in terms of what is expected in all sectors from corporate, Individuals and sportsmen to name a few.

The year 2009 saw the depth of the economic slowdown and then the subsequent ongoing effort to come out of it which has been pretty successful so in corporate view they would be hoping for the demand to grow and increase and so that the business can expand and the profits can grow.

Students in colleges would also be in sync with the corporate view hoping for more opportunities in the job market
For the AAM AADMI the main concern would be on when the negative inflation which is negative numerically but is inflating more than the wallet of Sheik Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan and just be praying for the levels to be back normal and prices to go down and also he would be grimacing on the amount of potential days of rest in form of public holidays which was available is now part of the weekends
And coming to professional sports athletes!!! In specific one by the name of Eldrick Woods was craving for the arrival of 2010. 2009 was a year in which nothing went right and topping it up was has his affair list which could overtake Salman Rushdie’s list time for tiger get out of the woods and coming to our own Desi athletes they would be hoping the construction of CWG can be completed before time we don’t want to replicate an Athens 2004 and then coming to our religion of cricket all the players would just love if they just had to play IPL and then just stretch around but another full packed year thanks to BCCI.
Here is just hoping that 2010 does not lead to further demand and creation of states and hopefully some positives views on HR where it can be finally accepted as a strategic partner.


Cheers
