Unlikely news this year

India is full of news stories, Indians consume news. Ours is such a vast and treacherous nation that stories happen on every road, footpath or corridor. Not all become national news. The more things change, the more they look the same. As a flight of my imaginations I thought of things that are most unlikely to occur.

  1. Mobile phone tariffs increase
  2. Petrol prices hit below 50 rupees
  3. Mumbai metro getting ready on time
  4. Rahul Gandhi becomes a Cabinet minister
  5. Economy growth rates dips below 8 %
  6. Salman Khan is out of news
  7. Sharad Pawar resigning voluntarily
  8. Delhi roads become safer at night
  9. CPI (M) winning in West Bengal and Kerala assembly elections
  10. An indigenous animation film be the biggest hit in India
  11. MTV decides to air Roadies-8 only twice a day
  12. CAT coaching classes reduce fees
  13. Another IIM alumni writes a best-seller
  14. Mass deleting of accounts and exodus of people from Facebook
  15. Gold prices dip below 20,000/10 gram
  16. Knight Riders winning the IPL
  17. Final decision on Telangana issue
  18. Kumar Sanu or Udit Narayan sing a chartbuster
  19. New 100 currency notes with J. Nehru on the obverse side
  20. Getting a correct monsoon prediction from MET department
  21. 5 new nuclear reactors sanctioned with 2000 MW capacity each
  22. Chicken tikka masala becomes the official national curry of India
  23. Coca-Cola or Pepsi making a comeback with increased sales
  24. One new cult fiction TV series that becomes an instant hit
  25. Nestle gives Kit-Kat free with a maggi double pack or 4 pack
  26. India to have 2 time zones – Mumbai and Kolkata to save daylight
  27. Government lets Tata enter aviation sector by buying Air India back
  28. Plastics bags are banned throughout the country and milk is sold in bottles
