Four things stand out-
a) World Cup Cricket 2007- The tournament held every four years, is being organized in the Carribean this March-April. So far, the news is that it will be a logistical nightmare- stadiums aren't ready, the visa situation hasn't quite been resolved, the islands aren't ready to deal with the heavy flow of tourists during this time. Be that as it may, nobody can take away from the incredible excitement of the tournament itself. Australia beat India in the finals the last time around. The Aussies continue to be the best team by a distance. I am just hoping that they lose their way somehow and the Indians find some inspiration. If the visas and the logistics do get sorted out, I might even use my pre-booked tournament ticket to watch all the fun in person!
b) The new season of American idol- No logistical nightmares here. Only talent and tremendous excitement every Tuesday and Wednesday watching my favorite Reality TV show. If Jennifer Hudson does win an Oscar for her performance in Dreamgirls as she should, it will only reinforce the power of the franchise- the 'loser' on American idol is an Oscar winner- what better ad would you want!
c) The increasing 'flatness' of the world- The triple convergence as Tom Friedman calls it, I am looking forward to newer and cooler inventions in the tech world, be it the latest ipod, the newest Mac, Microsoft Vista, the freshest offering from google, I can't wait for the possible surprises.
d) Our son's first birthday- Ok, this is selfish, but July 28 is an important day. And shall be for the rest of our lives.
Of course, there will be many more and I will keep all you guys posted as the year progresses.
Heres wishing everyone a Happy New Year from Boston.
Keep reading and stay safe!
