Year 2012 is similar to any another year if you ask me. Mathematically it is 12 years after Y2K (remember?). Many phoren babas had predicted that the world is going to end, the systems will go haywire and there by the mankind in year 2000! Still we haven’t learned a damn thing since then. This 2012 hoax is spreading like anything. Now a movie is being made with the name ‘2012’ – wow, what an idea to amass a great wealth just by spreading the fear! 
Not just that there are a number of sites spreading all those conspiracies to keep you engaged, there by to increase traffic as well as to make some moolah.
Well, I am not here to talk about the 2012 doomsday stuff to spread the fear. Even if some massive catastrophe happens on the predicted dooms day, you folks can’t come back and fume on me :D. It so happened to be one of the hot topic that we discussed in the cab while coming back from office today. Let me narrate the sequence of conversations to make it more interesting.
Person 1 : Can you think of the consequences of a series of catastrophes in 2012? (on a serious tone)
Person 2 : I don’t think it will ever happen!
Person 3 : What if it happens?
Person 4 : It would be damn boring for me to work all alone in our office… (everyone breaks in to an unstoppable laugh!)
Person 2 : Can you imagine, the Bangalore roads would be so empty for us to drive?
Person 3 : My manager would survive for sure.. I can’t escape from sending status reports 🙁
At this point, person 1 is still lost in own thoughts… then puts up a brave face to say ‘never mind, same happens to me which happens to all’…
Now, here comes my question. What is your weirdest haunting imagination? Try to be as crazy as possible. Let us kill this 2012 fear with contagious laughter. I am sure each comment from you would ignite a laughter challenge!
Sunil says
Hmm..I would rather buy a surf board and surf the gigantic tsunami coming onto India…Cheapest way to go to Tibet 😛
Mohan says
Hi Sunil, welcome to my blog! You have a nice blog too 🙂
Absolutely, that is one of the cheapest way i suppose given the current economic situations!
Priya says
waiting for the movie 2012 to be released this week! They have shelled out about US $185M as budget for this movie.
Kavitha Lokesh says
Vidya, Swaram, Lostworld’s were d nice ones & the Best was Kavita’s.
Ultimate is yet to come..
Nice way of indulging your readers on commenting Mohan..
Nevertheless, the subject too is enjoyable.
For me, it would be a boring life without Updating my Weekend Snaps on Facebook or Orkut.. ROFL.
No one even to see or comment … he he.. BAD, very BAD
Mohan says
Hmm blogs are all about building network, collaborating friends and their thoughts! I take that as an appreciation 🙂
Hmm addiction to social networks you see…
sm says
its all funny,
the maya page ,astrology ends on 12 so they say its going to end.
its all foolish
but i enjoyed while reading it thanks making it so interesting.
Mohan says
yes.. i was expecting your imagination too 🙂
Pavan Bhat says
I’m one of the persons there! . As far as the comments go, I pity that pomeranian! It might be saying, Oh god, Let the catastrophe happen, or else… 😉
Shopping?!! Yes Yes All surviving girls would do nothing else.
But for me? Will there be enough friends to accompany me to Antarctica/Arctic/Himalayas for my next trek?!! 🙁
Mohan says
I am with you on facing the catastrophe than compromising with a Pomeranian….
Pavan… you will be a victim of that ‘shopping’ mania and will face it soon or later!
Oh yeah… 2012 is too far 😀 you would have done at least 4 more treks by then 🙂
shraddha says
my MIL is from braham kumari who say the same thing.
she wants us to buy flat in mount abu and be there during the time…lol!
Mohan says
Good idea! Please do so Shraddha and invite us to stay there and enjoy our vacation 🙂
kavita says
Thanks for the information…life was so much simpler few minutes back(lolz).I had no idea that such thing is going on .The most positive thing i could think of is NO EMIs.
Fun post…have a great weekend.
Mohan says
Sorry if that bothered you. But it is all a hoax as of now and nothing is scientifically proven. So, relax!
Life without EMI’s… wah wah! what a peaceful way to live… Good one kavitha 🙂
Shruti says

Mohan says
I know.. lostworld is yet to recover from the head massage I suppose :D. Done, i have updated my feed reader.
lostworld says
Its 2010 nearly & my family is already worried about getting me married to a “nice” boy.
By 2012, I’m sure tensions will be so high, I’d be getting married to the neighbourhood pomeranian !!! 😛
Mohan says
OMG! is it so tough to get a *nice* boy? I always thought we, the *boy*’s had that problem of getting a good *girl* 😀
That is new to me… All the best in your search. Better get married soon 🙂
Swaram says
What if there’s no one to read and comment on my blog 😉 😉 😉
Mohan says
Oh yeah! it would be tough to imagine people not fighting to claim that ‘I’m first!’ prize. Good attempt Swaram 🙂
Vidya says
Nice challenge. While I would be really happy to roam the streets of Bangalore without being ogled at, the amount of shopping I can do without having to pay – all jewellery and designer clothes… humph…but then… it really would be boring because there won’t be anybody to admire or feel jealous about 😛
Mohan says
Woman and shopping – an inseparable combination… no matter what! Atleast now I know the reason why they shop so much 😀
Btw., a warm welcome to you vidya! look forward to see you more often 🙂
Kishore says
That was a funny conversation. Even I got confused looking at your title. My night mare is – How do I survive without people around me!
Mohan says
hmmm… Kishore, you are no different from Person 4 in the story 🙂
