The ooh and aaaaaaah's of 2007

The sweet & sour points of 2007. The common point being it was UNPREDICATABLE.

1. December 2007- voluntary retirement appeal by Kiran Bedi who served as United Nations Police Advisor accepted by the Union government. Reasons behind voluntary retirement: inability to appoint a woman officer as Delhi’s police commissioner. In a male dominant society this was not so ……. Unpredictable.

2. Narendra Modi the great man who has risen to iconic staus in Gujarat post in 2007 Assembly elections post Godhra riots- killing the B.J.P and burying the Congress. Riots or no riots Gujarat is merry making and so is Mr. Modi. Does anyone have personal opinions regarding our man – keep them to yourself!

3. December 27, 2007 saw the killing of the Pakistan’s people’s party election candidate for PM- Benazir Bhutto being killed by snipers while suicide bomber killed 20 people in the election rally that she was addressing. After spending 35 years in exile an ending like this was unpredictable.

4. The next in queue was or must I say its still in continuation – the Nandigram episode of West Bengal. The great rule and idealogy of communist state that has elected a communist government for so many years saw the practicality that is utilized by every Political party in India- if you want to do business –listen to money talk only! Money matters yar after all if you don’t have the paper crisp you cant have the fancy of being in power. To conclude –these things that involve money talks are and will always be unpredictable.

5. The desi (oh for those who didn’t get the term- local) corporate giant Rely-ance has decided to become vegetable vendor – only difference was that they gave a better airconditioning to its vegetables and the sabji bechne walas who were selling them. Who would have ever thought that this vegi business would become so Classy!. Again unpredictable isn’t it?
