Movers & Shakers of 2014 Executive Summary

The Movers and Shakers of 2014: The Year at a Glimpse It's adieu time again. Another eventful year is about to bid goodbye. Just in a couple of days' time we will be entering a new dawn of the coming year of 2015. It is, for most of us, a time for fun, frolic and celebration. The cities are decking up with dazzling and colourful lights, the shopaholics are busy with their last minute shopping, the hospitality industry is gearing up with special menus and offers. This is the time of the year to let go. A time to get over the past and getting ready to embrace the future.

Like all the years, 2014 too has been a mixed year to most of us. The world has experienced many a good stroke of fortune during the period, just like it has received several deadly blows to deal with. India too has got its moment of glory and dismay. Now, as the old year is about to wrap up itself and fade into eternity, it is time to look back and take stock. What did we get and how much did we lose? How exactly our balance sheet is positioned at the end of yet another year? It is important to know our achievements and limitations as our mistakes will help us learn and improve, while our achievements will push us to do even better.

Standing at this crossroad, we at foreseegame.com thought to resort to the court of our users.

What do they think is the greatest achievement of the nation this year? What is the most tragic event for them? Who is their favourite movie star of the year? Who are the stars of 2014 shining bright? In order to get the answers of these questions we placed a few questions before our users where they were asked to pick up their favourites. The users participated whole-heartedly and voiced their opinion. The way they participated in the survey, shows they are very much in tune with the happenings and know the pulse of the nation and the world as a whole.
