So Long 2012!!!

Well the end of the year is upon us, time to recap on all the major events that took place over the year. From Box-Office blockbusters like the highly anticipated Avengers movie & The Dark Knight Rises to the London Olympics ( where the fastest man on the planet - Usain Bolt broke his own record & Micheal Phelps became the most decorated olympic athelete of all time ). The reigning European & World champions the Spanish national football team retaining their European title to Manchester City winning the Barclays Premier League in such dramatic fashion in extra time to Felix Baumgartner's stratosphere jump. On the national side FDI in Multi Brand Retail bill was passed by parliament & Starbucks entered the Indian markets. Guns N'Roses, Megadeth, Children Of Bodom, Slayer all played in India in 2012. Disney acquired Lucas Films which has led some to speculate over a seventh Star Wars film being in production (which I sincerely hope is not true). Gangnam Style by Korean superstar Psy became the most watched clip on YouTube with more than One Billion Views. Obama was re-elected & the Mayan Apocalypse which was supposed to happen on the 21st of December, never happened.


There was a lot of terrible things which also happened this year such as the National shame with the recent events in Delhi.Top Banks around the world being involved in money laundering rackets for drug dealers,terrorist organizations etc. Lance Armstrong's doping scandal & the death of the original moon walker Neil Armstrong.
