  • Indian Of The Year – 2010

    It is that time of the year – list, ratings, rankings, best of 2010 etc. Movies, Actors, People, Events, Incident…

    Time Magazine has named Facebook Mark Zuckberg has the ‘Person of the year 2010’ !

    Personally, I thought it would be Wikileak’s Julian Assange. Maybe Time did not want Federal Action against it !

    Who would be the Indian Of The Year 2010?

    Nitish Kumar?
    Saina Nehwal?
    Sushil Kumar?
    Salman Khan?

    According to me, it has to be Saina Nehwal – bringing pride, happiness and hope to Indian sports and Indians. It was a year when she and other Indian sports persons ensured that non-cricket sports got their due and recognition. They allowed us to think about the sporting side of CWG. Sania is currently No.2 in the world. Hope she does not go the Sania way !

    The UnIndian Of The Year Is The Corrupt Politician !
