How to live when end is near???

Now lets shoot to 7 ½   months hence, its 20^th December 2012, 1 day before the D-Day. From that metro journey to this day, I have changed myself and the world around me has also changed but in the opposite direction. I have become fearless and the world has become fearful. After I resigned from my job, I started an ecommerce site as that’s the field in which I hold 3 years experience, I started writing blogs and tweeting as I wanted to connect with more people. I also became more religious, daily reciting scriptures from holy book, visiting temple, listening to religious talks etc. I learned that the most dreaded fear is fear of death; accept death and you will be happy. Who has come has to go. FEAR LESS AND REGRET LESS. The world on the other side has been bombarded by the media about theories ranging from “The Maya Prophecy”, “Hopi Indians”, “Galactic Alignment”, “Solar Storms”, “Planet X, Nibiru”, “Polar Shift”, “Bible Code”, “The I Ching”,  “Nostradamus”, Einstein Theory”, “Edgar Cayce” and God knows what all. In a survey conducted 5 months back, 1 out of 7 people believed that world would end in 2012. Now with just one day to go, I guess all 7 would believe that the world will actually end. With everyone talking about the “end”, it is inevitable. Even I am 90% sure all will end though not worrying about it much except that my frequency to visit the loo has tripled. Don’t think much, it very cold during December month here in New Delhi.

Some quite unusual and interesting things have been happening around the world -  Youtube.com has crashed 3 times in the last 48 hours as people who dint even knew such a site existed (for example my 72 year old aunt), just want to see repeated videos of how/why the world is ending. Google has earned trillions of USD from Adwords on websites giving info on end of world. NASA is being given competition by self proclaimed “Gods” also know as Babas, astrologers, religious heads and even news reporters as to how world will end. 2012 The Movie is being aired on movie channels daily and was even translated in Punjabi on special request. Imagine Amanda Peet saying, “Eh Duniya Mukan Vali Hai!”. School children have stopped studying for the past couple of months, they are just loving it. Sale of red roses is at all time high, every boy is trying his luck on his crush one last time. Philanthropic activities have shown a steep rise to let the deprived enjoy life one last time. All religious places, temples, gurdwaras, church, mosque are organizing special prayer meetings. The most confused is the western world, they are not sure about their Christmas shopping, whether to go for it or not. 

Half of the world population who believe in living LARGER THAN LIFE, are lavishly spending on visiting new places, trying different adventure sports, shopping, splurging on concierge services etc and the other half is the one who are serving them and believe in doing their duty till death, much like the violin players in Titanic who were playing music while everyone had their heart in their mouth. And the second half also includes those who are collecting and presenting these facts and figures mentioned above to the world.

Everyone has assumed that end of the world means we all die. Only a handful of people like me are still thinking that if nothing happens, I have to do lot in life…have Rolls-Royce one day, a mansion, private jet, yacht etc etc. And then there are another handful that are the most fearful and have tried to flee to safest places on earth like Himalayas (coz of its altitude) ; China (well above sea-level and it isn’t prone to volcanoes) ; Sierra Nevada (high peaks in Europe) ; Arizona, USA (only Americans are there who cant reach the previous 3 places, Arizona has a lot of highlands) and Africa (considered by NASA as a stable continent as it hasn’t moved much since it was formed).

All in all, I would say LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST

December212012.com and “Petition for Truth” are my personal best initiatives taken to help humanity get ready for this catastrophe, or does catastrophe seem like a small word in comparison to what can happen??? 

PS - and catastrophe is actually a small word to describe what will happen, oh sorry, its a small word to describe what I will write!!!

Do check back tomorrow.
