Prophesies. They have always been attracting and lucrative to a human mind . Ever since the information age started there have been a lot of known and unknown prophets , fortune tellers, future predictors, clairvoyants,etc who have claimed to predict future. Nostradamus is one of them, a french apothecary and reputed seer who published collection of prophesies. Many claimed that a lot of his predictions have come true so far and he is the most consistent of all the future predictors ever! Is that really so? Do you really believe that there is an art of forecasting things before they happen ? If yes, then why didn't the world end in 2012 ?
The believers of Nostradamus will argue that the scientists or nobles might be wrong in interpreting this " the end of world " prophecy of his. Or might be that the book that they found in Central Library of Rome , Rome, Italy doesn't belong to Nostradamus. Or he was not as good as people think he is.
Whatever he is not alone in the long list of people who predicted the end of world but it never happened .
Now , as they predicted it , I am also predicting it right here that my calculations suggest that the end of world might happen in 2021. I think Nostradamus missed it by 9 odd years.
So, Now I face the biggest question , what should I do these nine years that I can save the world or humanity from this catastrophe.
1. Books - I think I should save as many books as possible .I should work hard for developing my own library these years that should include the epics by Shakespeare , Dickens , Sir Arthur Conan Doyle,Mark Twain , Leo Tolstoy, William Faulkner, James Joyce ,Jane Austen , J K Rowling, George RR Martin , Vladimir Nabokov ,J R R Tolkien, George Orwell , F Scot Fitzgerald, Salman Rushdie, etc. How can I forget Bible, Mahabharta , Kuraan , Ramayana, Gita, and all other religious books. What else?
2. Languages - I would try to save people who knows different languages ever known to man.
3. Human race- I will everything to save the human race. I will take equal amount of ladies and men to continue the process of reproduction and save the dying human race.
4. Wine- Oh yeah. I will try to save different kinds of drinks be it red wine , white wine, vodka, beer , tequila, rum, whiskey , champagne , gin , absinthe, brandy , sake and many more. And definitely the chocolate and coffee .
5. Ammunition and weapons- I will take some different types of guns , they would be helpful for survival after 2021.
6. Animals- They can serve two purposes . First , they can be used as food under dire circumstances . Second , we will be saving a no of species of animals as well .
OMG , I think there is too much to conserve when it comes to extinction , that I really have to remove this thought of expedition after the end of world from my mind. How would I live without electricity ? My laptop . My phone. I can't see through this. My tablet. Life is just impossible without these things.
HELL NO to the end of world. I hope it doesn't happen as far as I am alive.
