21.12.2012: End of the world?
21.12.2012: End of the world?
With the so-called Doomsday around the corner, youngsters in the city are rooting for partying rather than crying about it.
Stop planning your career, don't bother buying a house, and be sure to spend the last days of your life doing something you always wanted to do but never had the time. Now you have the time, four days to be precise, to enjoy yourselves before... the end.
The dreaded date will soon be upon us when the world will go dark. The Mayans may have predicted the end of the world and believers may even be going to pray. Many believe that in some way, shape or form, the Earth (or at least a large portion of humans on the planet) will cease to exist.
Your view depends on whether you believe in a much-publicized but debunked interpretation of the Mayan calendar, or you don't. After all, the date is not likely to be repeated. And, so, all around the world people are getting ready to party. How could our city folk be behind? But the big question is what will Chennai be doing on 21.12.2012?
Chennaiites are being given an opportunity to remember this day by letting their hair down. Party-goers and some disco-cum-lounges have organized dos, aimed mainly at drawing in the younger set.
According to Lemuel Herbert, Associate Vice President and Area General Manager of a star hotel in the city, "21.12.12 can be looked at as the end, or the beginning of a whole new world. We are the key and nemesis of ourselves. Whether tomorrow dies or not, we live on to party!"
The hotel will be organizing a 'Hennessy artistry' party on the day and many have already confirmed that they will be attending it. "I will be there for sure. If the world ends, I don't want to be stuck at home. I might as well party," says Sumedha, a college student.
Of course, it is not the only party in the city. Saurabh, a college student, is organizing a party at his beach house and has invited all his friends there to witness Doomsday. And, what is his idea behind the party? "If we are going to go, we are going to go jumping, screaming and letting the future know that we existed," he says.
Karthik has a different approach looking at Doomsday. "It's supposed to be the end of the world and I want to dance till I drop — whether I drop because of the exhaustion or the world ending. If I am going to die, then how does it matter what I died doing? All that will matter is that I was having a time of my life when I did."
So the verdict is out. If it's going to be the end of the world, the city wants to party and party hard. If the world is going to end on December 21, 2012, partying is the better alternative than crying about it.
