Year 2009

Year 2009 has not been very great year. World faced the worst recession which is second to only 1929 depression. Everybody was scared and panicked. No one, not even very learned economists were able to predict the total loss due to recession and no one was sure when the world will come out of it. Some even predicted second slump because of the wrong plocies adapted by government but many economists do not believe it. Hopefully this will be good year financially.
Pakistan faced perhaps the worst years in decades as its economy has gone down so bad that even with aid it will take several years to come back to normal. They have accepted funding from US under all restriction which they would not have done few tears ago. They are facing so many terrorist attacks that even I pity them now. They have been unable to stop attacks. Attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team was them most shameful and embarrassing that country has faced in recent years. No ones knows who is running the country. President, prime minister, general or Terrorists. I thank god for I was not born into that country. Interestingly India did not face any major terrorist attack except blasts in Assam in november. I think credit should go Home Monister for his efficient work and reforms he has been bringing in India's internal security. I hope 2010 will also go in same way.
Bad news for environmentalists though that Copenhagen summit failed but still there are hopes. Hopefully something good will happen in 2010. Its the last year of the decade so witihn a year lot of people will start judging the decade, some have already started doing it.
