Stepping into 2013



Ahh.. the countdown to the doomsday was a hoax. I am happy to step into 2013 along with seven billion others, alive and awesome. The 2013  NYE party was no different from that of last year except that we saw a lot of the 'we-survived-the apocalypse' kind of PDA. Earlier it was more of  the 'we-managed-to-stay-together' kind of a hug. And of course there were usual scenes like people throwing up, falling down and or fighting with each other or the bouncers.. When there is unlimited drink, there will be chaos (read entertainment). 

The Mayans had predicted a final event in their 5125 year old calender ending on 21st December 2012. Mexico's tourism agency sold the date. They had over 50 million tourist visiting south Mexico. I was a victim too. I sold the idea to my poor Mom and took her all the way to Chichen-Itza to check out the doomsday theory. But good for us the Mayan apocalypse became another Y 2 K frenzy.

 Now back to reality. Economic Crisis, Global warming, Technology collapse, Terrorism, Mass atrocities. Arab upheavals, Nuclear concerns and closer home unrestrained rapes. In India more gangrapes occurred than gangnam style played. 

Else, things are pretty much the same. Obama is back ... so is Modi. The top and perennial prayer for the new year continues to be -  A fat bank balance and a slim waist. 

Lets see what 2013 has to offer. Probably Obama is right ‘The best is yet to come’ 

Wishing you all a Happy New Year 2013.

  7. Mayan wheel has been digitised since there is more space now, the world will be there for trillion years plus, there is no limit to human mind's creativity, technology the enabler! Parties and pukes continue, bouncers & bums rub sounding like OBAMA! Best is in the years ahead and '13 the bestest, the year of the equities! Good is the better of Bad, Hope is an inspiration, action is devotion, work is worship....work hard party hard! Inspiration and aspiration at the best in '13 - Old Monk
