Just as this year of 2012 is coming to an end, so will many a good thing and bad things end too.
On this moment of endings, i wish to share a personal thought and a very controversial experience.
Many a wise rich business men/women/ always ensure they make a "will " before they die and also appoint their well trusted friends as "executors of the will".
My question to you is what if the executors have vested interests in the last belongings of the deceased? Think about it, the best wars in the world were started on the noblest intent.
What is the compensation for an executor (friend of family, usually) to NOT have vested outside interests, long after you are gone , ( which means you cannot check on his execution at all) And in case the executors goof up, whose checking all pages of your will? They themselves?
Appoint your executors internal and external, better still while you are alive, call all your beneficiaries and hand them your benovalence in person, while you are alive, do not wait till the end to start hand outs.
Start giving out small feelers, teasers to beneficiaries. let them know they are the beneficiary right from the day you write their name in your last will.
To that, lets start a Happy 2013, & end all bad thoughts...Good bye 2012.

Christmas on 21st December 2012.
Many sun rises ago, someone said the Mayan Calendar ends its cycle on 21st December 2012.
I have decided to note my thoughts on this subject.
Q:-How can someone see precisely into the future , approximate 5000 years and predict events precisely ?
My thinking :-" WHY NOT? hello , just because you think only the 3rd planet from a bright sun entails life, will not change someone else's thinking that there might be a same twin mirror planet with same instances happening on the 300th planet and the 3000th planet from this same bright sun. So helloooo! "
Q:Were they time travellers? Aliens? Superior life forms/civilization/etc?
My thinking :- If you & i both of us, think that i am dumb, then everytime you see me you will treat me as if I'm dumb and i will continue to ensure your prophecy of me being a lesser life form than you.
But if you and i both jointly conclude, we are equals, then mutual respect, admiration and friendship follows through.
We all live daily with our own versions of reality, a perception, a thought, a mutually exclusive conclusion, within our self made and allowed environments.
Example:- You would wear that sharp business suit ( skirt/dress for ladies ) to your office appraisal day, But if you were to visit a wild life sanctuary on that same day would you be dressed same ? differently?
Same person, different environments results in different perceptions and subsequent actions.
Now what does my reply to the above question conclude?
- If you think they were time travellers, then they were ! If you conclude they were alien visitors from the 300th planet from the sun, Then they were exactly that. Doesn't this mean you point at the sun and exclaim it to be a moon ?
Exactly, to a child whose learning the sun and moon & the planets,
on day one both are same, no difference and no connection to reality.
Just because you and i are amazed, does not mean everyone has to dress our way, think in our thought pattern zones and act like we choose to do.
So happy 21st December 2012 and let by gones be bygones.
How did i celebrate my 21st December 2012
By choosing to make a unknown stranger in tattered clothes happy.
The story goes like this :- i was about to enter my car and a man with a cycle ( yes a 2 wheeled NON-motorised bicycle) was asking me to buy heart shaped red balloons.
He said he needed some basic food grains for his children and wife at home and balloon business was not started even thought the evening came to night.
Mind you he did not beg, he was offering me to buy his red heart shaped balloons, so that he could go home early, as it was very late for him.
"Ha" ! i said to myself , I, a 40 year old single man , "what will i do with 1 dozen red balloons ?"
Suddenly, i said "hey this is my window to end my 21st December 2012 night and fast forward direct to 25th December 2012, let me play Santa for this man at this moment".
Then i opened my car lock, politely smiling at that man on his cycle, appreciated his balloons, i slid my hand into the right hand box under the steering where i keep change from my toll tickets and counted that change, it was small change, so i counted money from my top pocket too.
Lo & behold i had onlky Indian Rupees one hundred & twenty ( Rs:120 = approximate $2 yes $2 not $20 or $200) in 7 different denominations, which i handed over to that unknown stranger man. My pockets became empty as i had just paid my few last pocket balance to drink 2 coconuts.
I was a man without any money in my car or pocket or wallet.
For that moment , precise time i felt i am SANTA. But when i handed him the money he said "saheb take these balloons " All i could do is smile and tell him this was not charity , not from a rich man to a poor man,
but this act of giving is from one human to another, from one sales man to another, one son to a father ( he was quite old ), and it was being a token of appreciation for his efforts to be a balloon sales man.
My smile brought happiness to his face and he smiled back, thanking me a million wishes. He was having tears of joy blessing me, saying "tonight my house will have essentials to cook and my children will eat".
Not only did i bring him happiness, i gave him courage to be a sales man, courage to keep going when no one wants to buy the red balloons, and wait for them to come buy them.
It gave me happiness to know for one night, i supported a man who could not go home empty handed. He was a man on a mission to feed his wife and children of 3 ,to buy raw essentials for their dinner.
In my past 40 years many people have known me to give away money for various reasons to various people at various moments.Of bigger amounts, of bigger times but...
For me 21st December 2012 , the red balloon salesman is the most memorable, a befitting end to the mayan calendar end. * cheers with that empty 2 coconut shells.*
That's how i celebrated Christmas,- on the 21st December 2012,much before, before it comes.
That is how i did my time travel to Christmas .
Let me know, when you do your time travel !
Merry Christmas ! & Wish you a very happy end of a mayan calendar, and also a start of our collective decision label known as 2013 year
