It is exact and it is final. It is generally tragic but can at times be vengeful and valedictory. But it is also salacious, almost seductive in the way its arrival can be imagined and improvised. We do it every day: In watching apocalypse movies in the theatre, in <\/p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/the-futures-so-bleak-i-gotta-wear-shades\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dystopian<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> reading of science-fiction, in long discussions over whether the zombies will get to us before the aliens do (the answer is: Only if they can make it in time before we nuke the galaxy.) Or even in the way we discuss the overflowing Idukki reservoir in Kerala, where an overflowing dam has prompted an airport shutdown and cost dozens of lives. Incidents like this, when viewed in isolation, seem almost apocalyptic in their nature, but are forgotten once the urgency of the crisis recedes.\u00a0<\/span>\n\nThe overflowing Idukki dam in Kerala, which has caused the deaths of dozens, is but the latest headline that tells us the planet may have crossed its breaking point years ago. Idukki is a symptom of an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/humour\/mumbai-rains-waterlogging-india-meteorological-department\/\">overwhelming monsoon<\/a>, but the summer took its toll as well. From wildfires in North America, to a heat wave that swept across Europe and Asia, there&#8217;s hardly a week without news of some new environmental doomsday scenario. If it sounds like the end of the world, we lap it all up, only to forget it all once the world <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/earth\/monsoon-weather-unifier-india\/\">keeps turning<\/a>.\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perhaps one of the best examples of our obsession with endings \u2013 our own as well as that of the world we occupy \u2013 is our fixation with Nostradamus. The 16th-century French physician and seer, born on this day in 1503, is famously credited with having prophesied the end of the world for December 2012 (he didn\u2019t really, it\u2019s supposed to be a Mayan prophecy). Six years on, his inaccuracy can be confirmed. Or can it? <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The prediction does not falter because it cuts time at the wrong interval, but in the fact that it seeks finality in it \u2013 a date when it all ends. It is more instructive to understand that since the age of Nostradamus himself, the apocalypse has been viewed as some sort of an event, a caustically interactive stage show. Centuries and several Cormac McCarthys, Roland Emmerichs, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Resident Evils<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and a zillion zombie films later that idea has only grown firmer at the root. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therein lies the problem. Thanks to everything we are exposed to, we\u2019ve come to believe that the apocalypse will be as immediate, cinematic, and arresting as it was in, say, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2012<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Sci-fi films intend to pound home the idea that the world ends in one fell swoop, either by infection, nuclear war, alien invasions \u2013 or in the case of Emmerich\u2019s films, pure climactic weird. <\/span>\n<blockquote class=\"quote--center\">Everyone can feel we\u2019ll turn on each other when the time comes, but what is the vehicle that will get us there?<\/blockquote>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Literature, though steadier and still more cautious, doesn\u2019t exactly gear down either. Cormac McCarthy\u2019s fiction \u2013 especially the Pulitzer Prize-winning <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Road<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 is replete with apocalyptic excesses but it rarely goes beyond the nature of man to injure the other. Everyone can feel we\u2019ll turn on each other when the time comes, but what is the vehicle that will get us there?<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I have some bad news for apocalypse watchers. I highly doubt we will go out in such style. As TS Eliot <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shmoop.com\/hollow-men\/poem-text.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">predicted<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in \u201cThe Hollow Men\u201d, \u201cThis is the way the world ends \/ Not with a bang but a whimper.\u201d \u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Science fiction, whatever format it appears in has done more harm than good. While scientists have been busy trying to articulate the age of Anthropocene \u2013 an age of significant and largely negative human impact on the earth\u2019s geology and ecosystems \u2013 fabulist theories and recreations have turned this most devastating and eventually self-defeating age, into a bit of a gimmick. The superheroes continue to fight hoarders of nuclear arms, the average novelist can only think of the extant toll of the aftermath, and gamers don\u2019t really care as long as they can shoot zombies in the eye.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A trope played out in most sci-fi is the often unexplained shortage of something essential. In <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I am Legend<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (2007) it was air; in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mad Max: Fury Road<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (2015), water. Consider <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/earth\/death-by-breath-full-documentary-an-arre-indian-express-original\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Delhi<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, compromised on both fronts and incapable of wriggling itself out of the way of approaching <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/humour\/new-delhi-air-pollution-level-rises-diwali-smog\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">disaster<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Disaster that we refuse to acknowledge because the skies haven\u2019t yet turned red and the water hasn\u2019t yet turned black and because we have our ways of coping, or rather compromising with this slow yawn into the abyss. Be it the humour of dank memes, the drollery of WhatsApp forwards, or lunch-time banter, death and degradation are fun as long as they seem distant. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because somewhere inside we prefer to think there is chequered progression to this, that there are good days and bad. But in reality, they are all bad, just some less bad than others. The grass isn\u2019t green and there are no sides to it anymore. <\/span>\n<blockquote class=\"quote--center\">While death and the apocalypse are an end to something, the real tragedy lies in the little dots that come together to make the line before it.<\/blockquote>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Almost 150-200 species of plants and mammals become extinct every 24 hours on the planet. In India, the average life expectancy of those living in the choking cities is dropping by the day, but is vindicated as a modernist tilt when summed against those living farther from them. As with the Smart City project in India, there seems to be a real ebb and flow in the mono-culture of transforming villages into towns, towns into cities, and cities into super, mega, smart and whatever the hell you can think of next \u2013 disaster by iteration, if you like.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think, for a minute, about Al Gore\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An Inconvenient Truth <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(2006), which though prescient and relevant, is largely seen as the generic ramblings of an activist. Perhaps, there is a lesson to be learnt through it after all. That while death and the apocalypse are an end to something, the real tragedy lies in the little dots that come together to make the line before it. We\u2019ll wake up only when we realise the extent of our sleep and the madness of the dreams we see in it. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But something tells me, that ain\u2019t happening soon.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The thing about the apocalypse, is that it is no windfall, or a clear-sighted moment in the pipeline of history. It isn\u2019t a curb, it isn\u2019t even a bump in the bylanes of existence. It is simply progression, a rhythm in itself. A cloud of fog that settles so slowly it is imperceptible in its effect. Think of the apocalypse as a flat, one-note soundtrack, not a boxed chemical experiment with crystalline inferences. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s not the timer, it\u2019s the microwave. It\u2019s not the oil it\u2019s the ever-expanding roads. It\u2019s not the carbon emissions it is people, and the sheer speed at which our numbers continue to grow. And much more, so much more.<\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019ve been taught by science fiction, that the apocalypse is going to be a cinematic spectacle.
