What will you do?

What will I do, before the world comes to an end?

You might ask why I’m writing this – there’s a contest at Cognizant Blogs and this was my entry for that.

I don’t know when someone told me that the world’s going to come to an end and exactly who it was! But then, as innocent as I was back then, I believed it immediately. I searched at the only place where I thought there are people who are smarter than me (internet) and found a lot of websites supporting my belief. Even the series ‘The X-Files’ where a lot of unexplained phenomenon were explained (fictionally, atleast) told me that the aliens had decided to take the planet back into control as we (humans) are polluting and destroying it (somewhat planning for a later destruction anyway). When I saw the 2 sun videos and a lot of other un-explained stuffs which claimed for a doomsday, I thought I should do something.

Well, I’m not a superhero, so I’m not going to try and stop the doomsday. Instead, I will continue my belief and prepare a list of stuffs that I can do with the little time left. First thing would be to spend a couple of hours to create a photo-shop-version-of-me photo and post it in a social network. Even though the world comes to an end and if miraculously some data (including my ‘photo-shopped-version-of-me’) survives, I’d be atleast respectable (or even dared for God knows what I’d do to me) for the new world (if created). History is important?

Visit Sachin Tendulkar once (atleast) and get a real photo with him (and probably tell him to keep playing until he dies coz, the world will end in a couple of weeks). Meet Manmohan Singh sir and talk (?) to him. Meet the Iraq-Palestine presidents and ask them to stop killing people earlier. The same would apply to the Srilankan Army. Congratulate Obama for being the last president of America. Ask Rajinikanth if he’d come to politics or not. Request Cognizant to declare a holiday on 20th December 2012, we can do some preparations for the doomsday. Curse whoever-predicted-the-doomsday as they predicted it to be on a Friday.

Thank Christopher Nolan for taking movies which I have to watch atleast twice to understand. Thank Vinodh Alagan (you probably have no idea who he is – he’s the one who introduced me into the world of series) for making me watch series and then become addictive to them. Find the phone number for the director of the series “The Big Bang Theory” and ask him a couple of questions. “Will Penny marry Leonard? & will Sheldon marry (?) Amy? (And probably what he’ll do after that.)” Finally, thank the director of Shawshank Redemption for making Andrew escape from the prison! Thank (late) Louis Armstrong for that ‘Wonderful World’ song!

Eat almost anything that is eatable and that I’ve never ate before. Fill my bike tank and drive all the way until dry. Pray for a rain (and if answered, drench). Take a trip to a foreign country and put some photos [especially a photo standing next to a beautiful girl by requesting/begging the girl] on the FB (to make my friends jealous and to use the passport atleast once). Some tattoos on visible areas of my body (which I thought would be cool). Laugh at all the bachelors (unfortunately, I’ve to laugh at mirror too) and congratulate (and be happy for) all the married men (although I’m not sure if all of them would feel the same). Thank my first IT company for offering me a change of track (and probably the same company encouraged me to write) to IT. Curse my first IT Company for offering a career track in ITIS. Read a lot of books (well, on the other thought, just buy books and tell everyone that you’ve read those books).Thank God for giving such a wonderful friends and family!

Thank the Blogs for publishing whatever the crap that I wrote! Finally, thanks to you, for reading! So long, then – What will you do?
