Warning: The world's ending

Yes it is. No don’t run for your life right now. You still have time to read this before the world actually begins to end! You are not getting what I am saying, eh?

Well, I am not one of those 2012 how-will-the-world-end theorists. Neither am I from some sort of a religious group that has successfully formulated the exact date and time by the help of some ancient cryptic text for the end of the world to come. I already here the groans of those who have come here to find another far fetched end-of-the-world theories.

But I am not going to deny the fact that the world is going to end. It will folks, it will. But not this year, and not the way you may have imagined. There will be no freaky earth quakes the eat up entire nations, no magma exploding out off non-volcanic craters, no great floods that will swallow the continents entirely, no alien armada that will suddenly attack earth, no meteors and asteroids bombarding the planet, no moon crashing on earth, no sudden severe changes in temperature that will wipe out all life, no planet X is going to come and hit our planet, no mysteries ‘web-bot’ predictions are going to come true, no zombie attacks, no mutant animals gone wild and definitely no nanobots are going to take over the world.

That does not mean that the world is not ending. It is ending as I write this, slowly dying an inevitable death. The world will end. But not as we perceive its end, wherein all life form will be terminated or the entire planet will be destroyed. The world that we know and are so attached to will cease to be: and change will come, so different, so alien that we will not be able to recognize it were we to come back and see the world. The same way as a primitive man would not be able to recognize our world as the same place he’d lived on and that we are the same species.

So go on and live your life without worrying about the end of the world, the world is coming to an end, but not in your life time!

What are we ashamed of...

Why am I not ashamed of showing abusive hand gestures, but feel embarrassed to use the sign of the cross?

Why am I not ashamed of singing aloud a song with raunchy lyrics, but blush if caught humming a hymn?

Why am I not ashamed of slapping someone publicly but lack the courage to apologize even in private?

Why am I not ashamed of wearing t-shirts carrying obscene messages but hide the cross around my neck?

Why am I not ashamed of spreading rumors to debase someone but shy away from spreading the Good News?

Why am I not ashamed of hearing a dirty joke but wouldn't want to be caught dead listening to religious podcast?

Why am I not ashamed of reading a racy novel again and again, but feel embarrassed to be seen with a bible?

Oh, I could list many more! What kind of culture do I live in, where every condemnable act is commended and the fine art of practicing a religion is frowned upon!

It is 'cool' and 'hip' to sprinkle a talk with as many abuses as possible(and no I am not talking about the occasional rant) and it is a 'fad' to dress up as cheaply as can be allowed(cheap not in cost, cheap means tasteless and vulgar) among the youth and many who have well surpassed the age to be called a youth.

Call it peer pressure or attack of media or blame it on globalization or whatever else that pleases you, but the fact remains that in today's age, more than in any other time or age of this world, is it possible to behave in filthy way and get applauded for it too!

The question which arises is that how is the broadening of our mind and freedom leading us to lewd and profane lifestyle, why and how can the educated and seemingly wise world can't even differentiate between what is good and what is not and still boast of advancement and progress?

And what kind of a progress is it indeed, if it takes us back to being primitive and senseless!

I am young, educated, liberated. So why am I so very much ashamed of doing the right and the good and why don't I give a second thought before something crude!

Luke 9:26 If anyone is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.

Lost, but not Forgotten

People who know me, know that I am simply 'wonderful' when it comes to sense of direction, and remembering ways and paths and destinations. I just cannot know, understand, perceive the directions, the nitty-gritties  of finding a route and also the simple right and left!

I call myself,  geographically challenged.





There have been multiple occasions when I've lost my way, and landed in unknown territories..... The worst cases are when I am lost inside a building because I cannot remember which direction the exit doors lie.


I've been in nightmarish situations, not knowing where I am. Completely lost.


I know, all this can sometimes be pretty embarrassing, and it also causes a lot of trouble for others. But then, after a lot of panic and frustration, I've always found my way back home.

The trick is, that I know where my home is, the address, the streets, the near by areas.... I may have lost my way, but I haven't forgotten where I belong.


So, I just ask for directions, take help from others, always managing to come back, running, relieved.


So, losing way isn't the end of the world, if you know where you belong, you will surely reach there by taking help from others.

PS: Any cure for geographically challenged people????
