Much to the chagrin of Harold Camping, though nature came close to being a conspirator in the doomsday prophecy scandal - it parted ways mocking at the gentlemen, right at the outset. Camping perhaps wanted to do a Yahweh for an encore ! This has been the story from the National Capital Region (India) at-least.
Church's imagination of the world being sinful enough to not be able to to see Jesus incarnate, had once given a fillip to Kellogs' - a 'vegetarian' breakfast. We'll have to wait and see if there's more than what meets the eye here.
Amidst the deliberations over the existence of paradise and God by Stephen Hawking and a sounding board revelation by Camping, nature had it's last laugh, dancing away in wild frenzy for the whole of the weekend !
The last two days have been heavenly for the lesser mortals like me. For such days in the month of a sweltering May are unimaginable.With May 21st evening full of 'Lights, Sounds and Actions' and the day fresh like mint, Nature truly stole the show. Was a delight to watch pigeons, eagles, sparrows and other birds throw themselves aimlessly at the gusts of wind as they would carry them all over the sky. The wriggling trees drenching themselves in the rain with sounds of thunder and streaks of lightening, giving blushes to the miniature replicas created by us.
There were other sounds too, though. Those that were more scary than the validity of any such prophecy. Some 39 people lost their lives in Uttar Pradesh alone, because of heavy rains. Given how I know my country and the people at the helm of affairs, I'm sure these are doctored numbers. At a rather lesser level of shock are - the new born, unprotected, stray puppy in my colony which cried it's lungs out with its first encounter with the ferociousness..and perhaps the water-clogging, because of an isolated shower, which brought the people to a standstill in the most urbane part of my country !
We talk of a consternation over the end of this world.. Or has it well begun ? !
