The Future Foretold

New Year is approaching. We all would be eager to know what the future would hold for us. 2008 being a very worst year, in terms of economic recession and financial meltdown globally, I am sure everyone would welcome 2009 with the hope that it would be full of the joys of spring.

Leave 2009. I wonder what India would be in the year 2050. My mind wanders. Come; let us see how it would look like……

It’s the New Years Eve. Year 2050 is about to begin. India is a developed country. People are planning to celebrate the new year on high rise buildings, most of which is 100 storied. The highest building is in India is 7500 ft high (three times the height of the Burj dubai building).

Every city in India is connected. There are bullet trains which could go at 1000 kms per hour. People travel from Delhi to Chennai for work and go back and vice versa as well. There are high speed expressways (20 lanes). There is no pollution anywhere in India. All the vehicles run on green technology.

Infrastructure is fantastic. All the infrastructure projects get completed before time. There is always Time under runs and cost under runs for all the infrastructure projects.

And all this is possible because our Gandhi family decided in the year 2009 not to contest any elections. Henceforth other good parties ruled the country, which made this change possible.

Let us hope this becomes true….Hey 2009, We welcome you. Bring us all the joy and development in the year 2009 and beyond.
