New Year Hustle: Worth it? NOT

Yes, its 2012. To be honest, time flew by so fast; I was still getting used to writing 2011 in the date format. I don't know how others feel about our journey around the sun but I believe that its almost become a figure of speech to say that this year flew by so fast. This year, that year, that month, this week.

I keep wondering; why do we need to know that its 2012? To enter it as yet another era we ruined?
Whatever we say, I just think it gives us immense pleasure to find reasons to define everything. I remember the hustle about 11.11.11. My lord, I can't forget what my dad said. He's like why are you guys going crazy about this particular date? I said papa because it'll never come again. He said something that I initially revolted against and eventually thought of myself. He said you live through every date and it never ever comes again, even the most insignificant numbers won't come again. Then why don't we go crazy everyday!

I personally wish this whole time concept wasn't ever discovered. Why couldn't we just live one long journey? Why is that the day is split in two? Why can't we all define how ever long we want our day to be?
Actually at least our generation is working towards this thought of mine. Clear example being, while I am wide awake by 8am and call it morning; my friend wakes up at 3pm and his morning isn't any different (with a lot more taunts of course) .I can totally get it why he gets shocked when someone says: "beta itni late uth re ho?"

As far as he is as productive as any other person is in his own working hours, I find it uncalled for to say that he wakes up at the wrong time of the day! Why stick to conventions? After all the same 9 am task that seems early morning to me is late night for him!

I watched a documentary once that explained how the daily 24hours time period is getting shortened(by infinitely small amounts) day by day. I think if they would have read this piece earlier, they wouldn't have to invest billions of dollars in recording this difference in the length of the day when actually no one is sticking to it. Ofcourse with all due respect to them trying to figure out whatever they were trying to because although I watched the whole damn piece, I did not have a clear view of what they were attempting to prove. Clearly my iq levels were no where close to what they had in mind.

Also, I forgot the endless amount of scary videos/articles I have ventured into especially during exam time about 2012 being the end of the world. I still remember not being able to finish the syllabus for the next day's examination and consoling ourselves that how does it matter even if we score really well, we are all dying anyway! And then randomly a few days earlier, I see Washington post with the article: "Scientists say 2012 will not be the end of the world"

really? REALLY? You think we are so stupid to believe you all the time?

Considering they are called SCIENTISTS and we are called "facebook washington post application users", we are stupid! So stupid that we have spent hours making websites, blogs, even planning doom's day parties because these very SCIENTISTS said the world would end!
