Happy Doomsday 211212 !

Today is the last day of the Mayan Long Count Calendar. For those who surf the internet a lot, you will certainly be familiar with the story of the apocalypse predicted on this day. In fact some people in Russia and America have taken to stocking up on supplies to prepare for this end of the world prompting experts like NASA to come out and tell the world that 21 December 2012 is just going to be like any other day.

Oooops, we've got the date wrong! (net image)

So it is today Friday 21 December 2012. When I got up this morning, the morning seemed bleak as it had been drizzling  last night. My compound looked wet. (Yesterday was bright and sunny).The traffic seemed to be just a wee bit light, perhaps some people have already gone on their Christmas holidays? I am trying to look for anything abnormal today as you can see.

The internet is full of articles on the fact that we are still here today. Someone from London tweeted asking "Australia, are you still there?" seeing that Australia and New Zealand would greet 21 December ahead of Europe. The whole thing has been turned into some kind of a circus show. This has upset some Mayan descendants who see today as a day of spiritual significance.

Well, I would say many people do not believe in the so-called prophecy of today being the end of the world. Parties are being held to celebrate the day and some go on tours of the few places said to be safe in the world. People seem to take it in their stride and as this “epic disaster” (set with all kinds of scenarios) would affect all of humanity, the fear seem to have diminished through its sharing.

In fact many people don’t even know about these  hullabaloos  and remain blissfully ignorant. I guess they won’t even know what hit them if the apocalypse materialises. That’s the best way to leave this world, provided everyone exits the same time!

But just hold on a sec, the day has not yet ended now they say the apocalypse will take place at 10.42 or 11.11  now where  in the world is that?
