As 2006 comes to a rather dramatic end, what with the execution of dictator Saddam Hussein, it has certainly not been a perfect year.
But with 2007 calling…
Presenting before you my ten-point wishlist, things I would really like to be happening in the new year:

1. First things first, 2007 is the year of the cricketing mahakumbh, THE WORLD CUP, & though our recent performances have really not been awe-inspiring, still hoping that Men in Blue win the coveted trophy after 24 long years.
2. A Generation awakens… Be a Rebel… Let the spirit of “Rang de Basanti” keeps all of us motivated & here’s hoping that more such revolutionary movies keep Bollywood shining. And most importantly, we finally break the jinx & win the OSCAR.
3. As the era of Manmohanomics & Bushism enters into their last phases respectively, may India’s GDP growth is double digit & USA finally sheds its domineering image.
4. Roddick,Nadal & Co. hold a ‘Deconstructing Federer’ summit. First thing on the agenda halt the Federer juggernaut at Wimbledon.
5. The fifth point is dedicated to a five-letter word which has now assumed significant proportions in our life: “orkut”. Lets hope that the orkut mania keep all of us connected & we all “grow our network”.
6. SRK’s Kaun Banega Crorepati ‘tritiya’, is as good as its predecessors. Its a huge success & King Khan takes Big B’s legacy to unparalleled heights.
7. The rejuvenated ‘Manchester United’ wins English Premier League & the unstoppable ‘Chelsea’ land up with the UEFA Champions League crown, even vice-versa will perfectly do.
8. Now this one is straight from the heart, after all those mishappenings of the past, lets hope that “The world is a more safer place to live in the year 2007”.
9. They say you can never predict the future & as I move into that rather unknown & uncharted territories in the second phase of the year, I sincerely wish that it is as good as the first one.
10. Well you must be wondering that I didn’t talk about the first phase (Jan-June), that’s because I know beforehand that its gonna be the most wonderful part of my life: “Last semester at TIET with friends”. And I am really looking forward to it.

Last but not the least, wishing you a very happy & prosperous new year.
May all your dreams come true & so do my wishes!!!
