Towards the end of decade———————————

10 years or 1 decade seems a very small tiny number when we take account of 200000 years (200,000 years since humans started looking like they do today), but its a significant number in an indivisual human life. 21st century came with many promises of prosperity, development and human achievment. now its about to complete its 1st 10 year.Its not been much time since when i saw world entering in a new era,in a new millenium with my own surprised and full of dream eyes.The advent of 21st century brought much more surprises and anxieties with it. It stormed into our life like a missile and blew all of us with its surprises and unpredictibility.on the eve of 31st december, 1999 whole world gaped at the upcoming new century with anxiety of Y2K problem. It wasn’t enough, after trespassing Y2K gaint, we again found ourselves in tangled web of DOT COM bubble burst.people couldn’t even breathe properly after these problems, then came the gaint of gaint which shook whole world and changed the whole demography- 9/11.An unformidable foe, to which we Indians have already been fighting for around a decade, finally came face to face with whole world. suddenly world recognized that apart from hunger, mortality we have one more bigger probelm who doesn’t recognize any border, religion, caste or country — Terrorism. The after effect of 9/11 is known to every one, and its heat is being felt till now, it not anly changed the mentality of world super power but also manipulated many old alliances and resulted in new and unthinkable reliances. result of 9/11 was war on Afganistan and Iraq, because of which we saw elimination of taliban from Afganistan and accession of Hamid Karzai. also it led to fall of a Iron Man from world stage who continued to be a constant headache for world powers-Saddam Hussain,whole decade is so dynamic and vibrant that we hardly felt time gap between its start and coming end, but ofcourse we felt a scorching heat of it.year 2002 saw the advent of new currency EURO in the world economic stage, which is presumed to challenge the dominance of dollar.rest of the decade was also full of news with many terrorists attack on different places (Madrid, Bali) and natural devastation like tsunami, hurricane katrina, flood and many more. But final nail on the coffin was the approaching end of decade- year 2008.2008 brought unprecedented economic crisis, which was severest after 1930s depression era. recession started with fall of heavy weight Lehman brothers and it drowned almost whole world with its unstoppable tide. People panicked while share markets across whole world crashes and unemployment roses. Ultimately end of the 2008 , terrorism shown its brutal face to world throgh 26/11 Mumbai attack.But story does not complete here, 2009 brought a small ray of hope among us as economic shown some sign of recovery and the stimulus package by all government inverted the danger of upcoming depression. We failed at the front of environment protection as our govenment could not able to drew a deal out of Copenhagen at end of 2009, but our hope have not failed yet.this decade have also brought lots of hope. Accession of India at world economic and political front was particulary encouraging as it ensures that voice of around 1/6rd people of world will be better heard and it will lead us to a better, prosper and harmonious world. election of Barack Obama in America once again proved the power of people and power of democracy. Rise of google ensures an unpresendented flow of information, and every indivisual on this world now feels empowered with information which they needed.The end of decade is imminent, at the night of 31st december, 2009 12.01 pm we all will enter in another new decade. Despite of all turbulence of last decade hope is all time high. New decade will certainly bring us promise of a safe, green, prosper and beautiful world, If we take a resolution today that all of us as an indivisual will fullfill our duty towards our family, country, friends, earth, environment and all the inhabitant of this universe. A very happy new year to all of you. May this years brings you all happiness which you have desired for . Welcome 2010 .
