Hindsight.

2010 comes to an end in a few days. Sitting here at 2010 and looking back at 2000 I am surprised at how much I have changed and how much the occurences around me have affected and changed me. they say your teens are the time your personality is shaped and what better decade to have spent your teens than the one which just went by. The last ten years have been as mad as ever. Very few decades in human history would rival.

A lot has changed. My id is now myname@gmail.com instead of grandmastersexy@yahoo.com(& civilizedtragiclover@hotmail.com). Went from chaddi's to pants and from chappals to shoes. If you have observed me well enough you will be able to predict what I will be wearing the next day as good as Nostradamus. But thats all of me for now, I will take pleasure in discussing more of it later.

Throughout this decade we saw a real shift, a shift compared to a few other in history. Indians went from straight cut to bell bottoms to narrow cuts. Random kids who have never played soccer are now fans of Manchester United. Leeds United got relegated. Hansi Cronje died in a plane crash, Rooney and Terry had a bad rash. MJ passed away or probably vanished and is living in malta with some funny name and a beard. The twin towers came falling down, Amrika is still figuring out who Osama is, and now they have Obama to contend with. On the home front Modi's came out to become the biggest newsmakers of the decade. Some others tried to grad news but failed. These incidents really changed the way we think. Today we cannot no longer not take sides. We have become more conscious of the fact that our lives are lived futile in trying to earn a living honestly when the rest of the world which drives in a BMW doesn't.

The Media literally took over our lives and probably thats what prompted me to take up journalism. Like all other things in life, I left journalism half way. Leaving Suhaan thinking if India would ever have an era of credible journalism. But I feel its made our lives more bearable. We get to see some serious stuff on tv which we rather wouldn't be subject to. A hairy guy screaming on tv would definitely be fun for someone who thinks India is Shining.

Coming back to why I was talking about this decade? I really have really no clue. But I definitely know that this decade has been full of changes for me. Learnt a lot of things and done a lot of things. I wish I could have captured every detail of this decade to some day look back at it. I would have rather put up a edited video instead of this horrendous post. For now I promise to come up with a more focussed post next time. I promise I wont write it during office hours because this post is and example enough of how bad my writing skills have become because of this new life of mine.
