Speak Out: What Would You Do On Your Last Day On Earth?

In case you haven’t risked downloading a computer virus from some intergalactic conspiracy theorists’ community blog lately, you may be blissfully unaware that THE END OF DAYS IS UPON US. 

So if the theories are true, how would you spend your last day on earth? With loved ones? Doing something you have always want to do? 

Today i have asked my friends and collected how they wanted their last day to be .

I would rob sum liquor stores export 11 strip teasers then get an space craft loaded with cigars and flew to outer space. ~ Deepmoy thakuriya (My ex-roomie).

I will be too drunk to notice.  Seriously though - how does this work out with time zones? Will Australians die first, or do we have to wait until it's the 21st of December in India? ~ Anonymous

I will just go and stroll around, have a look around, savour the scenery. its not just me dying, its the world ending. so no regret, no remorse, no guilt for my loved ones dying as well, as they are not the only one meeting that fate. ~ Anonymous

I will tell a girl I loved that how happy I was after the break up and will spend as much time as I can with my family. ~ Shikhar pandey

Why I Deleted My Facebook

On 5th April 2012 , I did something that I thought was fairly non-controversial (I was wrong, apparently). I deactivated my Facebook account. And not just the half-hearted deactivation option Facebook offers, whereby your account remains saved and can be reactivated at any time—I actually completely deleted my account.

No one can understand why I would ever want to disconnect myself from the (unfortunately) ubiquitous social network. Well, here’s why.

As a general matter, I am extremely unhappy with how much my life is dominated by gadgets and technology (yes, I realize that the fact that I am writing that on the internet right now is sort of hypocritical, but I’m prepared to live with that).

I watched it, and I couldn’t get the thought that I had to get off Facebook out of my head. I realized very quickly that it was inevitable–I couldn’t un-think it. I needed to get off Facebook. The idea of deleting my Facebook account actually made me panicky and that in itself actually strengthened my resolve. For gods’ sake, five years ago I had never even heard of Facebook, and now I am having an anxiety attack at the thought of getting rid of it? Facebook had to go.

Think about it. Only five years ago, most people, like me, had never even heard of it. Now, a massive amount of our society is funneled through it. Life happens on Facebook. That is extremely alarming to me. 

But what about the people I keep in touch with on Facebook that I would lost touch with otherwise? Honestly? Friendships have life cycles. You don’t stay friends with everyone forever in real life. It’s okay that I ma not in touch with everyone I went to high school with. Without Facebook, I am still in touch with maybe a half-dozen old friends, and thats really the way it should be. You keep some good friends, others fade away. That’s how life goes. That’s real life. That’s real relationships. Instead, like everyone else, I am having e-relationships with 100 to 500 people based mostly on whether they use Facebook a lot and whether they annoy me enough to make me hide their feeds.

That’s not real life. That’s not authentic. That’s not something I value.

We were perfectly happy before Facebook. So why can’t we live without it now? What does it really add that is valuable to our lives? For me, the answer is “not a hell of a lot.” So I bit the bullet and requested deletion. I still have a blog. I still have an e-mail address. I still have a phone number and a street address. You can still get in touch with me. But I’m not on Facebook anymore, and I think I am better off for it.
