Blog › A season for lists and mellow truthfulness… a post for December 31, 2009

2009 is ending and so, according to some, is the first decade of the 21st century.

T’is the season for looking over the shoulder and pronouncing verdict on which person has made the greatest impact in the last year, and t’is definitely the season for lists and mellow truthfulness.

Everyone has awards (serious and tongue-in-cheek) and top five-ten-twenty lists; why not the ASI blog?

In a series of posts that follow this, I will present for your consideration some South Asian award nominations and ranking lists. These nominations are based on an unscientifically conducted, anecdotally driven search of this blogger’s memory.
