Many doomsday prophecies predict that the world as we know it, shall come to an end on December 21st 2012. This prophecy, attributed to the ending of the Mayan Calender, Nostradamus, Edgar Cayce and some scientific cosmic alignment of the earth with the centre of the galaxy, has been given many interpretations by scholars on the subject. Two schools of thought emerged dominant among these. Some say that it means that the world will end, whereas others believe that a great change is coming.
Not one to believe in doomsday prophecies and end-of-the-world propaganda, this writer has always been quick to dismiss the December 2012 prediction. At the most, she has been willing to concede that it could refer to a great change, but only because its fun to think about it.
Now, however, I find my mind changed on the subject. December 2012 is doomsday month. For TAX is upon us (or well, upon the unfortunate 5th year students of a certain university of law and some unlucky repeaters from previous years, if any). It may not be doomsday for you but it is for me. Only, its not December 21st, 2012, but December 14th, 2012. And if by some miracle, I survive December 14th, then I would almost be happy to welcome doomsday on December 21st so as not to witness the results of December 14th.
*sigh* May the force be with you!
