Top 5 Biggest Moments of 2011 that will show an impact on India in 2012

5 - Jasmine Revolution: Its this name given to the revolution that happened in Tunisia which lead to a string of revolutions now collectively called 'Arab Spring'

Keep an eye, this string of revolutions are bound to have an increased NATO/US interference in the Middle East and it will create a much more dangerous world though it will weed out a lot of dictators at the end of it. It will show an effect on the oil prices but more importantly, with Indian Foreign/External Affairs babu's and ministers what they are - incompetent, will show an impact on India's stature as a world power and its relation with some of the oldest countries of the world

4 - Inflation/Price Rise: No one has a clue where this is headed and if it would halt and when it would slow down, if at all. If there is a hike continuously for a couple of weeks, a prompt mandarins from the Govt., either the Planning Commission SPOC Montek or the FM himself comes out and says 'we expect it to come down in the next couple of months' and we wait like a Godot

3 - Change of guard: Be it NRN calling it a day and handling the mantle to KV Kamath or one Premji passing the baton to the other Premji, or Ratan hanging his boots and getting the highest taxpayer of Ireland and a foreign national to head what is now a true 'Indian Multinational' and sit in the hot seat at Bombay House, it is a real change of guard and it will give a different direction to corporate India

2 - Money Money: Euro collapsing thanks to Greece, Italy and the 'weak block' and creating a 'class within a class' by making Euros of Germany more favorable than the rest, or our own Indian Rupee tumbling not just because of any recessionary pressure but because of political reasons and under performing stock exchange leading to flight of capital out of the country, it has been a very strong negativism that is seen all around. FDI fiasco added to it in Indian context

1 - Corruption: The 10 letter word that made a government to goof up big time, an 'aspiring father of nation' and his courtiers to hold a country and its parliament to ransom, an opposition to get a point to play dirty as they got an issue after a long long time, some senseless dharnas and mobs and ill-informed crowds come out in hundreds without knowing what they are supporting for, but, just displaying a khadi cap or a caption 'I am Anna' a fad even in fashion circles, culminating in taking the Rajya Sabha into the darkest moments it might have ever seen on the last working day of the year at the stroke of midnight hour. There were the Kalmadi's, Raja's, Kanni's, Gali's who shined like 'crazy diamonds' in 'Corruption's Hall of Shame'
