The best part of year 2008 is that its over..
The year that saw catastrophes like 158 year old Investment Bank Lehman Brothers going bankrupt, once booming bank like northen rock left with begging bowl and some lucky ones like Bear Sterns humilated in their rescue by governmental efforts. It also saw commotions like ascent and then descent of oil prices, housing prices going south , spiralling Inflation just to stop at a bigger devil of stagflation and deflation, a dent in boominig economies like China and India ( layoffs, companies closing down) and even unrests like sponsored terror by Porkistan ( mumbai attacks). So in one word.. year 2008 ... should be forgettable and if remembered it was only for recession when everything was going wrong.. Well did everything went wrong ??
Yeah the Stocks withered and national stock exchanges had to be closed more often than usually done.. and office goers had the axe of uncertainity hanging right over their neck by silken twig..
well but infact that created an environment which bred love ...
Employees ..mostly with reference to Indian IT sector who had become more demanding and had very low breakeven point for attrition suddenly lost their mobility. The stickiness to job came not because they loved what they were doing inside but because they hated more to be outside... Inside even if you were a dog ,, you were paid and thats more than enough in these troubled times..
This meant that there were few faces fading away with resignation mails. this meant that for people like me .. the girls whom we (romeos) eye.. were in our radar for a longer time..
more time to eye.. more time to catch a glance... more time to spread a smile.. more time to recieve the forwn... more time to stare again . more time to spread a smile.. more time to wait for the smile back... more time for a coffee together ... more time to walk beside the lake .. more time to talk .. more time to come closer .. more time to be in the path to start the new life..
I discovered that MANkind knew this phillosophy right from their inception and started practising this as soon the recession blossomed.. so the recent months have seen lots of love birds in the campus and outside... more tied to each other for fear of not getting another than for love of each other.. Recession has done one great job .. it has created an environment to help ripen love..
