I used to have a list of things I wanted to change or do for myself every start of the a new year. For a reckoning time of a new year, my options are either starting on the first day of the year or the first day after my birthday. Sadly, though, both never worked out. I would always start with a lot of enthusiasm but the momentum does not develop at the get go. The flame just dies away. In fairness, there were a couple of instances in the past when I maintained a diary and did it for quite awhile. But there was never an instance that I completed a year-long activity.
In the past days, before 2011 completely set in, I was thinking of doing something which I hope I'll have the commitment to carry out for the entire year. My recent interest in blogging has inspired me to come up with this project. What IF? It's a blog about anything - a consequential answer to a random question. Of course, the answer could be hypothetical, philosophical, practical or comic! Anything I could think of...
And I would love to hear any feedbacks or comments or rants from any reader (if someone, by accident happens to browse this blog)!!

What iF ... Father Time Stands Still?
New year's day will not come. There'll be no ball dropping in Time Square, New York! No flamboyant and ostentatious display of pyrotechnics all over the world. No fancy revelries. No count downs. No 'auld lang syne'. No new year's eve parties. No preparations for the new year's eve party. No new year's resolutions.
The pendulum stops swinging. The hands stop clicking. The earth stops rotating on its axis and it ceases to revolve around the sun. No sunset and sunrise. No changing of seasons. No changing of tides.
No celebrations... birthdays, anniversaries, holidays.
Units of activities like speed, motion, circulation, heart rate and the like have to be re-written as these are measured per unit time.
Time is an essential element of evolution. And so evolution stops.
No one will be in a hurry to beat a deadline, catch a flight. No one gets older!
It takes away the meaning of the word 'timeless' and the agony of waiting.
So what you think, fellas? Please let me hear from ya....
