The word I learnt in 2012 : Retrospective


Olympics and Oscars a gateway to showcase Indian diaspora globally.

                     

Last year my vocabulary was increased by a word called retrospective. Thanks to Vodafone.
It appealed in the SC and got a order in its favour.Vodafone was asked to pay taxes for its takeover of Hutch in India.It claimed it had no authority over a company in Switzerland.GOI argued it as a case of no taxation and unlawful as its fixed assets were in India.The GOI brought a constitutional amendment called as the famous 'retrospective amendment'.

Now lets think if the world would  go retrospective what would happen

The judge pronounced  :
Ranbhir kapoor and Deepika , married retrospectively ,from 2002.

Vidya Balan decided to get pregnant retrospectively from the time she started acting.

Jury decided to give Aamir Khan , awards ,retrospectively from 1991.

Oscars was given to Shah Rukh khan  for Paheli,retrospectively.

Retrospectively Olympic committee decided to give gold to PT Usha and Milkha Singh.

Couple decided to get divorced retrospectively,i.e. again 2002 ,just a day after marriage.

Judge gave life term to the rapists retrospectively ,before the crime itself.

Students started being paid ,retrospectively,for attending schools and colleges.


On a more serious note, a school nearby has decided to raise fees retrospectively,from april 2012,just curious to know if government would follow suit, to raise fuel  prices retrospectively.

===Awards Hangover.
