The end of Her world!

The fake news of it ending,

Never caught her attention.

The idea of it ending,

Never grabbed her a thing!

Dooms day isn’t the day,

Her world would end.

It had already ended,

While the world was still !

It ended with her birth,

As She was a girl.

Birth of a girl was not expected,

And the gift of god was not accepted!

It ended with her adapting nature,

Nature she developed seeing her mother.

Absorbing all the pain,

And giving all the smiles.

It was that day that ended her life,

Her world ended the day She left,

Leaving her all alone in this cruel world.

She meant everything to her while she was alive,

But now Having a sister was way too costly for her.

Her world ended when she fell in love,

Love of someone she was ready to die for even.

But her love was not respected,

Tears, pain and disrespect was all she was gifted.

Her world ended way long back.

She is now simply a soul.

Following instructions of another souls,

No enthusiasm to live,

She lives because she promised her mother she won’t commit suicide!

In a Petri Dish - A Sci-Fi Twist

If the world was really about to end , it might very well have done so already. Here's my take. This write is totally fiction and any I categorically deny any involvement with Aliens or even Mayans or Mad scientists for that matter.

Amber was walking aimlessly along a narrow winding path to a beach. There had been nothing other than discussions of armageddon and world end all day. She was tired of it all. What if the world ended ? Would she really care?  Should she confess her love to him? Now , that's stupid. What if I told him and the world did not end and he ridiculed her? That would be the end. It really would..

Samuel suddenly realized he was not reading a word of the book in front of him. His thoughts had wandered off in a tangent from when he read that word 'Amber' scribbled across the page footer. May be he should put an end to her suspense. He thought of how he had tormented her , kept her waiting ,secretly rejoicing in the fact that she loved him. He didn't for a moment believe in the rumours of world ending. That was just another myth about to be broken . He tried to call her on her cell phone and got her voice message instead.
The phone connections are bad in Hawaii. He thought wryly.  A television alert suddenly caught his attention.

Adam was working at his usual shift in the meteorological department. They had seen a whole lot of weird things going on this past week . Flash floods, Tsunamis , Torrential rains, large blocks of ice floating around in oceans. Enough and more for a panic reaction if the public came to know. But he wasn't sure if all these were some weird climatic aberration that would go away (may be not without claiming thousands of lives) , but not by ending this world either.

Shekar  was working on a top secret mission at NASA. It needed only one more approval. The space craft was all ready to take off into the outer space. At the first sign of catastrophe , it would take off , orbit the solar system . The name on the space shuttle read 'Noah's ark'.

In another dimension,  two scientists in lab coats were watching the clock. It could be called a clock only in the sense it showed a measure of time. Other than that it was another piece of sophisticated lab equipment. One of them looked into the microscope and sighed,
"You know , there is a panic reaction down there. "
"Yeah , this was bound to happen when we experiment with intelligent beings. "

"Is it time yet?"
"On count of  three ", said the other. 

On count of three the experiment container was destroyed.

"Too bad this one got itself into this state and couldn't be repaired. It will take millions of years to get one half as good. "
"Not if the Noah's Ark makes it to the new culture.I'm 99.9% sure it would ".
"That was brilliant".
The  two men exchanged smiles and  walked out of the laboratory.

Let the world end..

              At the beginning of this month, when I put out the topic for the month, I had a plan in mind. I do not know if the world will end anytime soon but I would like to be prepared to face it. No regrets, no unspoken words, no hard feelings and surrender to the mystic fate.
             My average day consisted of

• Getting up and hurrying through the morning routine and rush to the college.
• Sit through the lectures, stand through the practicals
• Rush to catch the train back home
• Come home and sit in front of the laptop
• Have dinner and sleep

           In between, the only thought that weighed on my mind was "What do I eat?"

           It's tough to make a choice when the tongue and waist run in the opposite direction. Where every yielding to tongue invites widening waistline. 

           My routine was pretty much mediocre and yet it left me little space to breath. To do what gives me happiness. To have enough energy left to do anything than sit in front of the laptop! 

           The last month of this year, I dedicated to myself :P 

           I joined the library again. I shop more often. I give more time to matching my clothes with my hair clip :P 

           

       So this month my day consists of:

• Getting up a little later than before and doing stuff at leisure..
• Getting into the bus and listening to music
• Reading my book in train
• Reaching college half an hour early and chitchatting 
• Sitting through lectures and standing through practicals (cant change this :P)
• Coming home and watching Grey's anatomy
• Checking on mails and reading blogs
• Dinner
• A walk alone in the night :P Singing aloud the songs playing on the radio :P
• Going home and getting the clothes and bag ready for the next day ( that's how I wake up late and still reach college early :D :D ) 

      Besides I made a pact that I will eat all my favorite food by 21st Dec :P So I have been gratifying my taste buds and loving it :D 

     This month has been fun. 

     Meeting school friends and close buddies.

     Going out with the college gang.

     Having deep conversations about matters never talked about.

     Discovering the joy of being shouted at  by my nephew :P 

     

     On the other hand, I have heard about the gravest crimes being committed in this world which we so fear to leave. 

     A four year old girl molested and penetrated by finger by her autowala (They call it just molestation seriously???)

     A 67 year old senior citizen raped

     A 23 year old girl gang raped and left to die. 

     Women killed for administering polio vaccine.

     Children killed in school by a gunman.

     and these are just the ones that are highlighted in newspapers. What ghastly crimes might be going unreported, I dread to think.

     As I type this post, several worlds are getting destroyed. Not by the fury of nature but by the perverted minds. Suddenly the 2012 movie looks more brighter than the reality. The optimist might think that things will change. I don't. No law can work effectively in a place where a strong punishment to 99% of the guilty will be withheld because of the 1% cases which are fake. Stronger laws yes. What will you do about the 1% where people take advantage of the law and trap the innocent? 1% might be a small number and what difference will it make until that 1% contains your kin? 

    

     Yes I m ready. Let the world end. 

     

                               

If it does and when it does!

Dew, Rain, Sunrise, Sunset, Meadows, Valleys, Rainbows, A child's innocent smile, A helping hand, A praying soul, A loving heart.......

All these drip with the beauty of life, showering us with their blessings. But we don't stop and take a moment to take them all in. That's what life has made out of us. Or rather, honestly, that's what we have made out of our lives. Where we are today is all great and grand but the how we are part is disturbing and we all know that. Everyone kept talking about the end of the world in 2012 for a while and then we got back to our lives. And now that we are here, the buzz is floating in the air here and there. 

No one knows for sure. Will the world really end? But that question doesn't really linger and is side-tracked by "How do I complete this work within the deadline?" or "What can I put in my year-end performance review document that would make my manager consider giving me a substantial hike?" or maybe "What do I wear to the new year's party?". Yes! That's who we are now. Anyway, when I ask myself the question, "Do you want it to happen?" I surprisingly find myself answering yes to that. Hold on before judging me. Neither have I gone crazy nor am I fed up with life. I have a lot to look forward to and all that jazz, but, I could do with a new world. The one which is created by the super power with a certain intention and expectation and not the one one which has been tinkered with over the generations by mankind and molded into what they want rather than what it should be.

In my humble opinion, I feel the existing world has too much of a touch of us to be good. I know if the world goes boom and the cycle begins for a new one, down the lane in some thousands of millions of whatever of years, it might again end up in the same place where we are. Whatever it is, I personally would like a new start. I know when I say new start, I will not be present as "me" to witness or experience it. ;) Still, I would rather have that. My only want is that the end of the world process should not be too painful for anyone. Dragging out the D-day, losing loved ones, being the lone survivor - that kind of stuff. I am OK with the world ending, but if it does and when it does, I want it to take us all away with it without any pain and give us all a new start.

Until later,

Keirthana

P.S: This is just my personal opinion in this regard. I don't have a vendetta with life or anything. I apologize if it hurts anyone's views.
