Happy 2012 to everybody. We're a couple of hours into the new year. Strangely, it has been relatively warm tonight in Pune, as compared to the past few nights. I hope it's not the 2012 effect - the earth getting hotter and stuff underground boiling its way out like they showed in the movie 2012.
I came to know of this end-of-the-world prophecy in 2005, and since then, have always found it fascinating to think about. To choose to believe in the possibility, I have to either believe that all that is and will be is deterministic, or that there are some really scientific observations which probably the Mayans did and based on that knowledge, calculated the date of the end of the world, and for some reason, we are not able to see their point, and have clearly not made any similar observation that leads to the same conclusion. Like in all cases of human belief, I have difficulty in taking a side here as well, without any evidence to justify that side. Nor can I deny the possibility, as I really don't know. Therefore, I will just wait and watch. But I must say that the topic is extremely interesting and exciting.
