Theme for 2009 - Survive

Keep your head above the water.. Breathe.. Gasp.. Oxygen.. Hang on to anything that floats.. Oxygen.. Breath.. Breathe..

The theme for this year, cannot be any clearer. And it would be fair to say, that it is applicable for all spheres of human existence. We don't know when the haze will clear, not sure how deep it is either. What we do know is that its real and its going to be around for a while.

As the fog makes its presence felt, businesses feel the pinch. Probably defaults may rise. Litigation may raise its ugly head. Skeletons will fall out. (Watch out as Satyam unfolds)

At the individual level, expect your biscuit packet and your pay packet to be smaller. Drink less, eat less, spend less is the new mantra. (Helps you loose weight in the process)

Since life moves along a circular path, things will be bright again. The sun will rise brighter, the coffee will smell stronger and the food will taste better. Till then, stay afloat!!
