According to Hindu mythology there are four great epochs in time: Satya Jug, Treta Jug, Dwapar Jug and Koli Jug.
After koli jug which ends with an apocalypse supposedly the same cycle repeats ..hopefully?
Pundits propound that we are now living in koli jug — in a world infested with impurities and vices. Floods and famine, war and crime, deceit and duplicity characterize this age. It is said that strange things unheard of before will come to pass in the koli jug specially before the apocalypse.
Look at the unbearable heat these days. Pollution, noise, people's total disregard for the world and its resourses -- all point to the ominous dark age read koli yug. Now what more proof does one need of that than the recent news of a cow eating chicken and an elephant making a self portrait in true Picasso style!
Don't believe me?

Well I'd say we should make the most of now...hurry up and be done with all our unfinished business because these events that challenge our fundamental premise can only be an omen.
But the question is, should we try to salvage the day and go back to the path of virtue or simply indulge our senses decadently because when the world is recreated it will the age of truth and spirituality sans the materialism of this age ?
Well I'll leave these existential questions to philosophers and will just head to 13th Floor now for another Howitzer (Bacardi with lime juice and mint).
Got to clear my mind you see.
Cheers!
