2023

As 2023 draws to a close, I find myself reflecting on a year. While India made tremendous progress in various fields

• Unprecedented haul of 107 medals that included 28 gold, 38 silvers and 41 bronze medals in Asiad Games
• Heartbreak in Cricket World Cup finals
• India on the moon with Chandrayaan and taking a peak at the sun with ISROs Aditya L1 
• 2000 Rupee notes withdrawn
• UPI goes global with integration in six countries
• Despite global headwinds of inflation and recessionary fears, India's economy stood strong, clocking in a steady 7% growth. This resilience was fueled by the government's focus on infrastructure, clean energy, and a thriving startup ecosystem.
• G20 on Center Stage: India's presidency of the G20 showcased its leadership on the global stage, tackling vital issues like climate change and promoting inclusive development.
• GST collections are touching record highs each month

- Some key laws passed 

• Replacing the colonial penal code with the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita Bill
• Women's reservation bill

- Historic Judgements by the Supreme Court

• Repealing Article 370 of the constitution to remove special status to Jammu and Kashmir
• Demonetization of 2016 upheld
• Refusal to grant legal recognition to same-sex marriages. 

On the personal front the year was not just about getting a year older, but significant progress made intellectually, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. 

2024 promises to be even more exciting, Elections are coming up in many countries including India and US. I am eagerly looking forward Indian economy and stock market touching new highs, Ram mandir pran pratishtha which is due on Jan 22nd, the Men's Cricket World Cup T20, and ISRO's Gaganyaan.
