May-an end of the world begin…
Exactly about
10 months back, my friend took an unassuming me for a dinner and unleashed a 2
hour merciless story on Mayans and their prediction of the end of the world on
21st Dec 2012.
Thank God, the DJ of the pub helped me to manage the
2 hour onslaught by dishing out a few full blast heavy metallic hard rock numbers
with throaty
growls and high-pitched screaming Ga Ga gagaga gaagaa… yay yay yay… guys
struggling to get their stuck hands out of the guitar… making eerie and eerier noises
at 100+ decibels and what not (sounds worse than end of the world uh?)
– and in the
midst of all those killer electric sound shocks, the determined friend went on
and on – on the facts and figures about the Dec 21st…
10 months later….
I was in bangalore on the eve of the last day of the earth and

indian stock
market moved against global cues for the first time in its history, while the
world continued to be oblivious of the indian market (sometime back someone
proposed a 7 day week for the indian stock market – promptly it was stalled as
they realized – who will give them global cues on Sat & Sundays?)

on 24th man. not 21st“ …
