Here are the TOP searches of 2011 according to Yahoo.com
1. Person of the year : Anna Hazare
There was one man who dominated headlines this year - first for bringing an able (if one could say that) government to its knees, then for getting the nation to take to the streets to lament the inability of the government to do anything right, then for rifts in his paradise, then for - you get the drift.
2. Sportsperson of the year : Sachin Tendulkar
Is there any surprise here? Sachin might well be the sportsperson of the decade, if not the last two decades and indeed, for a better part of this millennium for India. As compatriot and starry-eyed fellow player Virat Kohli put it, for the better part of 20 years, Sachin has carried the burden of a nation's expectation on his shoulders alone.
3. Celeb of the Year : Katrina Kaif
‘Sheila ki jawani’ literally rocked the nation, giving a complete makeover to the British-Indian’s image, as well as stiff competition to Bebo, Priyanka Chopra and many others in the industry. Success apart, the star has also been in the news for rumours of flings with her with co-stars.
4.Words of the year : Lokpal Bill
Anna Hazare, anti-corruption and the Lokpal Bill – three words that have been synonymous with each other this past year, and three words that have been on the lips of every Indian.
5. Event of the year : 2011 Cricket WC
Co-hosted by India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, the World Cup eclipsed every other event between the 19thof February and the 2nd of April this year. The fact that India won the Cup on home soil was the perfect icing on the cake. Images of Sachin being carried on the shoulders of the Indian team will be etched forever in the memories of this generation. As will the euphoria of that night, as revelers poured into the streets dancing, united by joy and shared nationality.
6. Gadget of the year : Samsung Galaxy Tab
Lighter, slimmer and with a smaller footprint that most of its competitors, the Galaxy Tab manages to strike the right balance between e-book reader and 10-inch tablet that's perfect for watching movies. With many interesting perks and new features, the Galaxy Tab has more than given Apple a run for its money; it has quickly taken over top spot.
7. Movie of the Year : Murder 2
This time around, the director has brought back the movie with a whole new cast. Compared to what Anurag Basu did in Murder, Murder 2 is darker, more erotic and bolder. The plot is well delivered, with characters used to the fullest. To sum it up, Mohit Suri has made a remarkable effort in taking forward the success of Anurag Basu’s Murder.
8. Destination of the year : GOA
Goa - the land of beaches, is a perfect blend of the traditional and modern aspects of life. An ideal combination of sun, sand, and surf, Goa is a must-go if you are touring India. The best time to visit is between the cooler months of November and March, when the weather is pleasant and the seas are calm and clear.
9. Car of the year : Maruti Swift
The most talked about car of the year, the Maruti Swift took up to 50,000 bookings prior to launch!
10.Lifestyle term of the year : Yoga
Yoga is undoubtedly the ‘in’ thing today. Gone are the days when people ran on treadmills and spent hours puffing and panting. The mantra for fitness has migrated over the years from the pricey gyms to silent yoga centres under thatched roofs. The trend was triggered after Bollywood star Kareena Kapoor attributed Suryanamaskarasfor her ‘size zero’ figure.
