End of the World: Courtesy Mayan Calendar

 

We have seen the movie (Hollywood Disaster Movie '2012') and even heard/read about the mythical Mayan Calendar which ends on 21st December 2012 (21-12-2012) … and its interpretation being … the world comes to end on this day (and hence no calendar beyond that date)

I read a couple of fiction novels related to the Mayan prophecy … made for some interesting read.

So … what if the world really came to end on 21st Dec. With about 10 days to go for the 'Doomsday' … what would you do if they told you this was for real and you really have just about 10 days of breathing time.

So here's my top-of-the-mind things to do …….

1. Spend a day with maternal grand-parents, some close relatives etc

2. Spend a day or two calling up, emailing, texting, meeting close friends and dear friends. Tell them how I feel about them and their importance in my life. 

3. Check with Travel Agencies about Foreign Holidays I can schedule … if possible, book them and take off with entire family (parents, siblings, wife)

4. If not foreign trips; all in the family get their choice of domestic trips

5. Book ourselves into the best of hotels / the Taj and the likes

6. Go Sky-Diving and indulge in some crazy adventure and high adrenaline sports for a day

7. Regret about having a cabinet full of unread Books … wish I had more time to read

8. Regret about spending too much time on my laptop and lesser time with wife and bro and parents and friends

9.  Pray that the end of the world of the world is delayed / postponed / cancelled due to a technical glitch in God's computing …
 
Will I change any of the above if the world does NOT end on 21st ... well I would want to ...
BUT then we humans are peculiar lot ... regret when time is up and forget when given an extension ...

Mumbai Local - First Class v/s Second Class

Image
    It is an old joke that the difference in the first class and second class of the Mumbai local trains is that people in first class use deodorants and hence you are exempted from the smelly underarms while travelling. The mute point being; both class of travel experience a passenger overload during the peak hours and you are almost equally squeezed and pushed around in both. Of course, the seats in First Class are cushioned (unlike the hard seats of second class) but then that would make a difference only if you get to sit (which would be a likely probability only if you get into the train from the station it originates). My father holds a first class pass from Churchgate to Andheri (since past 7 years, ever since we moved to Andheri). He often travels by Second class in the evening. Strange, isn't it? This is why he does it … In the First class, there is an unwritten rule that on the seat, only the designated number of people (which is 3) will sit. No sq...

Tongue Twister - V for Vendetta

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V." - V for Vendetta
