2014, Good or Bad, scripted a new History.
The Saffron Regime was hailed from Kashmir to Kanyakumari!
The emphatic victory of the strategist Modi,
The utter ruin of a political dynasty.
Greetings across nations from an unusual coterie,
A Hebrew leader learns Hindi!!
Proposers become opposers, opposers proposers,
Look no further than the GST and like blunder-wonders.
Education is myth,
Just look to Sanskrit.
Aviation is history,
Just look to our Ancient Technology.
"The more things change, the more they remain the same",
Is this going to be India's shame?
New regimes: the order of the day,
Another daring captain gives way
With a similar abruptness that has marked his course
To new aggression, a new force.
Resilient, defiant, nothing extra-ordinary,
PK: an argument against "Ghar Vaapsi".
More Internet spoofs than ever
Celebrities, politicians - all torn asunder.
Respect will be earned, not commanded,
The young and old have together banded.
Just as Malala and Kailash won the Nobel Peace Prize
The famous and the nameless have all tried to end strife.
Behold, our country got new equipment for our Army and Navy.
While terrorists and calamities struck, we proved our humanity.
Though Health weighed less than Wealth this year,
Sports, Science and MOM did make us cheer.
We were many times behind, we were at times ahead,
Yet there is HOPE overriding the dread.
In 2015, may this hope materialise,
May 'a better tomorrow' this year arise.
Strength in body, strength of mind,
A kind spirit that will all people bind.
Prosperity shared, Wealth multiplied,
Health enjoyed, Ignorance destroyed.
Dreams achieved, Success rejoiced,
Environment conserved, Peace realised.
2015, this is what I visualise,
I wish, I pray, may this actualise.
2015, this is what I visualise,
I wish, I pray, may this actualise.

Modi tweeted in Hebrew Hanukkah greetings and got a reply from the Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu in Hindi!
Smriti Irani of the HRD Ministry makes Sanskrit compulsory in CBSE schools as the 3rd language. And the 102nd Indian Science Congress had topics on Ancient Indian aviation (from Mythology) as one of its key papers along with new technology. 660+ scientists on a signature campaign against such regressions in the name of cultural preservation.
We also got INS Vikramaditya, the biggest and heaviest ship of the Indian Navy. $13 Billion sanctioned for new equipment for the Defence that includes Israeli Spike MR missiles for the army and 6 new submarines.
MS Dhoni abruptly announced his retirement from Tests. And Pankaj Advani (Billiards), Mary Kom (Wrestling) and Sania Mirza (Tennis) did India proud as did ISRO's Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) - the least expensive Mars mission and the made India the FIRST nation, among 4 so far, to land on Mars on the first attempt.
