I've been goin a blog hopping. And the ride ain't pretty. Stop 1 : a woman who's only post is in Sep 2002 about her newfound single parenthood. Stop 2: A blogger who barely writes nowadays being macabre and assuring me it isn't to do with his state of mind. Stop 3 : a 3 part novella along the lines of sliver and SVU. Stop 4: an infrequently visited website also containing inspired Virginia Andrews material....oh this is too depressing.

Let's talk of prettier things.
Like the rain that has swept up this city, and how the chilling morning breeze pinks up my cheeks. Like the fact that Australia and India are playing together and I don't have to pick a side (just a state!). Like the cozy feel of watching a DVD with indulgent food and the promise of a 3 day weekend. Like the look of amazement on a 5 year old angelic blonde on the train home when I told her she could keep the bookmark she had been eyeing.
Can't do it. Sounds cliched. Truth be told, global warming, breaking relationships, rapes, cold murders. Its all part of the prophecy. I read the Bible recently. Matthews 24 scared me out of my living skin, and then some more. So I switched to the Jehovah's Witness account. Not too different. Qoran. Much the same. Dear God, this does not bode well. Global warming, earthquakes, false prophecies..it mentions them all. Don't even get me started with Josef Fritzl - Lector was more humane. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Driving licenses and Universal Suffrage be damned, there should be a global license needed for parenthood. Keep em tied till they learn to behave themselves.
Oh and did I tell you our light and airy lunch conversation. It started with killing of chickens and fish and how you can't eat what you've seen being killed. It ended with us talking of cannibals and mothers having kids to get the Australian's Baby Bonus of $3000 and spending it on drugs.
Sad part is this - I know that this is just a passing phase. We won't live long enough to see it to the actual end of days, coming of Anti Christ blah blah. I don't think our kids will either. Kalyug is supposed to last 1200 years according to the Guru Granth Sahib, 432000 years according to Vedas and the Iron age (which marks the last age before Golden Age resurrects itself) is 1250 years. Either way, the next generation is going to be born bang in the middle of it, and all they will see before they die is it getting worse. The thought makes we wonder if its worth having a next generation. Leaving them a planet in the state it is, a society where an entire countries fate can be controlled by a liquid legacy underground ... ugh. I'll write when I'm in a better mood.
