We live in an age where things move much faster than ever before. This decade showed us downs that at times felt like the tunnel with no light at the end. Be it the two largest economic recessions, terror attacks of unprecedented scale, wars that threatened the stability of our political systems, the earth quakes, tsunamis and the hurricanes or diseases such as bird flu and H1N1 flu that threatened to wipe the human race.
The same decade brought the ups we have never seen before, the communication revolution that brought all economies and countries on a level playing field, the rise of BRIC, the first African-American U.S. President, the landing on Mars and the breakthroughs of the human genome project that professed to cure us of diseases
Decades are long enough to change social political environments, economies and individual lives. This decade was sure that did it all.

At the onset, the burgeoning memberships in Fitness Centers around south of Boston region seems a step in right direction by most of the folks. I sincerely hope that we (esp. folks in IT or S/w industry) resolve to get healthier (and thus more efficient) in 2010 as stated in ‘Reform our health!’ blog post below.
Oh and yes – looking fwd to searching and booking doc appointments at lightening speeds via DocAsap in Boston sometime in 2010
Wish you all a splendid year ahead as well!
