2012, a movie which talked about the impending end of the world in the year 2012, was a painful movie: to put it mildly. I distinctly remember wondering in the first half that the only good thing about the world coming to an end in 2012 is that the movie will also end. In the second half, I didn’t bother to stay up, even if it meant wasting a first day-last show expensive ticket. But the movie got me thinking: what would I like to do BEFORE 2012, if the world did come to an end? Of course, it was 2009 then, so I had plenty of time. But now it’s 2011, I have been through a lot in the last two years and I also have JUST one year to accomplish/experience everything I want to before I die…
For starters, I would quit my job and work on that book now that things like money and future are no longer in the way…
I would travel to all those places that I had been postponing because I don’t have the time/money. But guess what, I no longer have that time…
Now that I don’t have a job, I would move to Goa for the cheap rent and alcohol, the beach and the peace…
I would have flings with a Brazilian, a celebrity, a sportsperson, (what the hell, I don’t have time, may be I shall have it with Gustavo Kuerten: he is all three rolled into one, provided he is willing to have a fling with me)…
I would meet Silvio Berlusconi, Brad Pitt and Abhishek Bacchan and ask them, “What the hell were you thinking?”
I would get married but wait till the last day to make sure the world IS actually coming to an end…
Oh, and I would DEFNITELY not watch 2012: a waste of a precious three hours when I have only a year ahead of me…
What would you do?

I just saw 2012... and I can't believe Hollywood still makes stupid movies...where only the great United States..is clever enough to realize that the world is coming to an end!! And the subtle political message...Oh..we have so much respect for our coloured citizens (the president and chief scientist being coloured). I mean seriously..give us a break!!!
Amazing! Amazing! Amazing!
Oh yeah, before I forget, add my "what the hell were you thinking?!" to AB and BP when you meet them.
And would you really waste one last day of lovely bachelorette-hood???!!!
What the hell are YOU thinking?!
And BTW, just one complain. As a Goan, I strictly oppose that Goa has high rents. Cheap booze, maybe. And when you actually move here, you'll find things wayyyyyy more interesting that just the beach and peace. :)

Woman, the post is about what you would do before the world came to an end and NOT abt the movie!
@ssoggo
Sigh... I agree with point one. Replace meeting celebrities with eating all my favourite dishes through the day (and not having to worry about weight)
I meant Goa has cheap rent and cheap booze. And m sure, there would more interesting things besides peace and the beach :)
