We did well in other sports too,such as tennis and formula1.In tennis,most of our players only improved their ATP ranks.Leander Paes won the US Open doubles title in September,bringing laurels to the country.In Formula1 too,the Force India team finished 6th in the team rankings.Hopefully,our race cars improve in speed and strength,and we finish in the top 5 this year.
When it comes to politics in the country,in 2013,there were serious scams emerging one after the other.This resulted in big losses for the Congress Party in various states.The rise of the AAP was the biggest political news in 2013.However,it remains to be seen how the AAP functions.They have promised to remove corruption from the society,and hopefully,they fulfill their promise this year.
It wasn't the best of years for the Indian economy.Slowing growth and rising inflation marked 2013 which the country's economic managers would like to forget quickly in the hope that the new year will bring in new Government and some good news.
Some very good,inspirational films were composed in 2013 such as Kai Po Che and Jolly LLB which attracted viewers worldwide.Bhaag Milkha Bhaag was an another inspirational movie,and probably the best of them all.All these movies taught people that hard work and determination can help a person achieve his/her goals.We expect a lot more movies like these to hit the box office this year as well.
All in all,2013 was an eventful year.Nothing is completely black or white,it is in shades of gray.Thus,some events were beneficial while others were not.There were mistakes committed,but we need to learn from those mistakes so as to make this year better than the previous one.We,the common people of this nation,need to take up New Year resolutions that benefit our country and our people.
I wish all the readers a prosperous and a joyful New Year!!Lets hope for the best in the times to come...
