Read, Think and most importantly Question!

I don't think I need to really prove to you, how youth these days are so engaged with the social media and the internet. With Facebook, twitter and all the other social media cites, with information readily available at your fingertips, it had become so hard to keep a secret these days. Almost anything and and everything that is out there could be made into news, or subjected to controversy. But what I have really observed these days, especially among the youths is that they are becoming easily impressionable. Whatever they witness in the social media or any other sites per se, it is easily speculated. And people who know this first hand are taking into their advantage. It is so easy to make news with the youth today.


Why? Because they will believe what they see.

Yes, that had become the sad reality. Youth today are being constantly bombarded with social issues, that they might be overwhelmed and don't know what exactly is happening. And they are conditioned to believe whatever they see or hear. And the youth cannot alone be blamed. Some media knowing for a fact that young people tend to buy anything they hear and so the media tends to exploit the truth to create a substantial "story" that better sells.

So what happened to Kony?

If my memory serves me right, not too long ago there was this video made about a Ugandan guerrilla group leader that went viral among the youth in the social media. This issue (about Kony) had been well exhausted so I wouldn't want to go into the minutiae about it. As soon as the video went viral, I saw several people open up groups about arresting Kony and his army. People were flaring with comments and sharing their thoughts about it. Please don't consider me cynical, but I found those activities extremely amusing. This goes back to my question,

what happened to Kony? He still remains at large.

Well why is this happening?

After an little bit of careful observation and research, I found two reasons.

Youth these days are missing the capabilities to think critically and question what they see or hear.

What they see they believe. They think or question very less. In today's world we are bombarded with information which could either be true or false. Sad to say mostly false. And I believe that it is our responsibility as the youth to not fall prey to narrative false stories.

It's almost like how millions of youth become "social activists" after watching a 30 minute video. Yes the stories can be extremely manipulative, but you don't need to believe it in the first place. Think about it. Do your own research and find out the truth for yourself. When the reasons convince you. Then you can believe it.

Because I'm a firm believer in the power of youth. We are young and capable. I believe that if combine our energy and fight for a true cause. Then the sky is our limit.


So the next time you read, hear or see something. Ask questions. That is your right!

Forget Creationism Or Darwinism..What We Really Need Is...

Perhaps this is least discussed "ism" out there. I see a lot of youngsters these days, especially people who are pursuing their college level education, argue furiously about how we came existance. Some say it's through evolution (Darwinism) and the others say it is through Creationsm. And to add to that we also tend to get at each others throat by arguing which political ideology is ultimately going to prevail and rule all societies, Capitalism,Communism so on and so forth. We just love to talk about politics and religion.But I have failed to see people talk about professionalism. Not even once have I come a across people who wanted to share with me their views on professionalism. And not only people have stopped talking about it. They have also stopped practicing it (And please bear in mind that I'm not talking about all working people, it is what I find to be common these days).

One might argue that professionalism is not an ideology, yes! Exactly my sentiments, but I would want to have a different approach to it, and I will reveal it to you as I lead you into my argument.

I really cannot define professionalism. Or rather tell you what standards should be set as to be considered to be professional. Each organization and individual have their own terms of professional code. We all have our own "work ethics" which we abide by, or so we say. But the question is, do we all follow what we preach? Sadly the answer is no.

I don't think I should list out all the moral standards of professionalism, like I said that would be my code of conduct. It will be extremely different from yours. What I would do instead is point out where professionalism is missing and how it is drastically affecting all of us and the society.

THAT IS NOT MY JOB!
If you had not looked at the picture above, I ask you to take a look at it again, a closer look. If you did you might have a vague idea as to what I'm going to talk about. So let me give you a scenario. Imagine your in a line in an office. You urgently need to get something done, and you have been waiting for days to do this. As you reach the officer, he/she says that there is some error in the document (and it is not your fault) and needs to be rectified. But the officer is least bothered to help you and sends you away. Your frustrated. I can bet my money that every single one of you reading this blog will have gone through this scenario at least once in your life. And If you didn't please email me the name of the country you live and I will migrate to it happily!

And I will tell you, that the above scenario is something that I went through on a daily basis.

Why does this happen?

The answer is simple and horrifying. It is ignorance. "We don't need to deal with that, or that is too much of work" attitude is becoming a contagious disease that had successfully spread among most of the working people. Making easy money is what they care about.

So what if everybody started ignoring?

What we can do, we let the other person do it, because we have a lot of the other things to do.
And that person leaves the job for the next person and so on and so forth, and ultimately the job never gets done.

This has to change. We have already created a lot of mess due to this behavior. Now just merely doing our job would not be of any use. We all have to go a little above and beyond. So that we all straighten up the mess that we made.

And as I mentioned in the beginning, professionalism is not an ideology. But it is high time that it is considered as one. Professinalism cannot be taught in school or university. The behaviour has to accumulated through experience. The world does not need educated people, it needs professional people who love what they do for a living and are ready to go an extra mile if necessary. My intentions in this article is not for me to preach about professionalism, rather to get you thinking if you doing your job!

A New Kind Of Terrorism

I'm very sure that i dont have the need to define "terrorism" to everyone of you. We all have a very fair idea as to what it is, and why it is occurring in our society. We all had been affected and influenced by it somehow. It is present throughout the globe. And I hasten to point out that no one of us could ever say "Oh terrorism is not present in my country" as much as we would like to. And also I don't want to show you the catastrophic events that had taken place due to terrorism either because they are all sad enough, and we all have witnessed the grim effects of it first hand.

There had been all kinds of ways in which terrorists have tried to disrupt harmony in society using shear violence against people. These usually pertain the use of weaponry, abductions and assassinations. We all know this.

But my goal today was to bring to light a new kind of act of terrorism, against a particular gender only. This merciless act it slithering its way through society, and the grim effects of it are already seen. I saw this issue being addressed in an Indian t.v show (satyamev jayathey) recently.

This act of terrorism is called female foeticide. If in case you were wondering what this was, let me explain it to you. Simply put, after conception, the sex of the fetus is determined, and IF it is a female, then the fetus is aborted. This is a first class act of sex discrimination.
And this is happening all over the world, and as statistics prove that it occurs mostly in India.

Why did I label this as terrorism? Well there are two very sinister parts to this act which depict similar characteristics of terrorism.

Firstly, this abortion happens without the consent of the mother. Shockingly the husband and his family are the first culprits who organize this crime. Because if you think about this would any mother terminate her pregnancy, just because of the gender of her child that she is bearing?. Once a woman in a family is identified to be pregnant, she is taken to the hospital by her husband and his family, to determine the gender of the fetus. And if it happens to be a female they terminate the pregnancy. The woman is made to go through this abortion forcefully. Even if she declines to abort the fetus. If she retalialtes she is violently beaten and then made to comply. If she retaliates further, she is deceived by her husband that they are going to visit the hospital for a regular check up, and the woman is made unconscious and then the baby is aborted. And a woman has to go through this cycle each time she bears a female child!

Secondly, this had become a very profitable business for people in health care. Medical professionals (obviously not all) who are money hungry, have introduced new schemes where they will conduct an ultrasound (to determine the sex of the fetus) and immediately an abortion if it is it is a female, which would cost relatively lower to people who wish to do this. How convenient!

To give you a better understanding, this type of practice had created a Whopping 244 million USD industry! And further more, an esitmated 15 million girls were not born in India in the last decade. And the ratio of girls to boys is 927:1000

Apart from some of the money hungry medical professionals, why would any one want to do this? To a woman?

The answer is gruesome. It is simply the laziness for bringing up a girl. She needs to be educated, nourished, loved and cared. Well, yes that's the same case for bringing up a boy too. But their is an underlying difference, or as it seems. Which is that the girl is going to get married any way and be away from the family, so why bother to go through all these burden for someone whose going to leave, and to add to that getting her married is another burden itself. Whereas a boy would remain in the family, and also ultimately provide for the family when his time comes to earn.
This is the "philosophy" by which people who commit this organized crime abide by.

Well they do not see the bigger picture, if this continues they would not find a woman for their son to marry and continue their generation and that is what is happening right now. Their is depletion of women for men to get married to.

Apart from this, this is sex discrimination, murder (because the abortion is taking place without the mother's consent) and the physiological and psychological pain that woman had to go through is daunting. Also the medical professional who assist in this crime are ruthless and these people involved should be pusnished to the fullest extent by the law. But the sad truth is that not even one license of a medical professional was cancelled by the government of India who had committed this crime.

But there is some light of hope in this darkness. In Kerela the sex ratio is more than one. That is there are more females than males since the census prove from 1901. And Kerela also has been helping several NGOs to counter this issue. (at least quite pleasing to know that there are still some intelligent people around) and several other nations are taking this matter seriously to counter this ongoing problem.

I thought that women only had to fight during their lives, but now reality slapped me hard showing that they literally have to fight to be born. And women who conceive female children had to fight to keep their children alive. When we think of warriors we tend to think of men. NO. It's the women. And hats off to them.

I also thought how ironic is it of us to think of the human race going to be extinct due to global warming, and how we forbid same sex marriages. Because if we continue to commit this crime ultimately, men would have to marry men and which would obviously lead to extinction.

You find my logic hard to digest?

Women are precious. We need them. You and I would not be here if not for them.

The person your calling is now busy, please try again later....

How many times have you heard this and got really frustrated? i know i have. I mean, it is understandable to miss a call from your loved one, parent or a close friend when your in the middle of something important. But what really frustrates is when you don't get back to them for the whole day.

I have observed recently that we are so caught up in trying to produce the best results in whatever work we are attending to, that we tend to forget that there is a life outside work. As much as i would really appreciate people who put their heart and soul in order to be the best in what they do, but that doesn't mean you have to completely forget what you have.

Our professional lives are important, it is a part of who we are and what we are capable of. It nourishes us, pays out bills. (And mind you, when i mention professional lives, i'm including full time students too. Because they are also "working" only without a pay). But that doesn't mean that our work should come at the expense of our loved ones.

What made me write this article is that we are so caught up in chasing after what we want, we forget that we are slowly loosing what we have.

A son would say his mother that he was busy and that he couldn't call her for almost a week. A wife would say to her husband that she was at the office busy and that she couldn't return his call. A student would say to his or her friend that he couldn't reply to the message because he/she was so busy.

Now you would have observed that i had mentioned the word "busy" quite a few times in their last paragraph. The word "busy" seems so unrealistic to me. "Busy" means that you have engaged yourself with some piece of work. But can you really be busy throughout the day? 24 hours ? and all throughout the week?. IF it were possible I really would like to meet a person like that.  The human brain has a maximum attention span, and i don't think it can work efficiently for more than a certain period of time, (depending on the person). It clearly cannot be for 24 hours.

Most of the people give this as an excuse. That they were "busy" and that they could not attend to their loved ones. But i don't believe in such excuses. Because you clearly were not busy. You surely did have personal time. You had time to eat, sleep, drink, watch t.v and go on Facebook. It is not that i don't respect people's time that they allocate for work, but i think it is unacceptable to ignore your loved ones for work. How is it that you don't forget to watch t.v, Facebook or eat and sleep but you forget to get back to your friends and family. Think of the number of marriage break ups, friendship break ups, children suffering from parental care and vice versa. Most of these have one common factor. Ignorance. It is such a pain to bear, being ignored is worst than getting shot at point blank. Imagine a son ignoring his mother, a girl ignoring her significant other, a friend ignoring his/her friend all because of work.

I mean, do you honestly not find five minutes from you day to send a message or call them, reminding that you do care about them? i really don't think that five minutes is a huge bargain of your time and you are not going to lose anything to spend it for your loved ones. We need to remember that we go to work and come back home. 

Even in my personal experience i have friends who take ages to reply to my messages or phone calls or sometime they even don't. I on the other hand make time for my loved ones. No matter what time of the day it is, and whatever work i'm attending to, i get back to them. I have set this as a priority in my life. ( You can ask my friends if you want to clarify) 

I know what ignorance and loneliness feels like, and the pain associated with it. That person whom called you or messaged you, did that for a reason, he or she needed you at that time. Maybe they needed advice on something, they wanted to share something with you or simply they just needed to be heard. Listen to them. Hear what they said, that could be the only way to ease their pain, by just listening.

And please if you get a message, reply and if you missed a call, call them back! because you would want the same happening to you, if you were in such a situation..

Metamorphosis Of Chaos

Lorenz Attractor

The butter fly has a fascinating life cycle. As the egg hatches, it gives birth to a caterpillar, a slimy creature that eats anything on its way and is usually considered an eyesore. But as the caterpillar weaves itself with silk, it forms a cocoon where it resides for sometime. This cocoon then conceives one of the most beautiful insects that roamed the earth. It is mysteriously fascinating that how a creature that is looked upon with disgust, withdraws itself from the environment and then emerges as a beautiful creature.

Other than it's life cycle, the butterfly also has an interesting aspect coined to it's life.

It is said that the flutter of a butterfly's wings can be the cause of a tornado. This phenomenon is popularly known as the Butterfly Effect.

The Butterfly Effect is a part of Chaos Theory.

Chaos, the moment you pronounce this word, it gives off such a negative connotation. We tend to think of riots, killings, murder and utter insanity.

But Chaos literally means disorder or randomness.Edward Lorenz ( a mathematician who pioneered Chaos Theory) studied weather patterns and found out that the patterns always did not change as it was predicted. It was always random, a huge disorder and literally very chaotic. Chaos Theory had been put into use in many aspects of science, technology and also in economics.

But what if we link Chaos Theory to life?

In chaos theory, it states that any minute changes in the initial conditions will result in drastic changes in the outcome. Hence it was termed that a flutter of a butterfly's wings causes tiny changes in the wind pattern which could result in a tornado. It is quite obvious that we live in a highly sensitive dynamical system. 
Anything and everything that we do effects us as well as others in some way.

I had previously mentioned in my article "The Kaleidoscope of Life" that our lives are made of choices that we make.
The changes that occur in our lives are highly sensitive to the choices we make. Think about it.

If you didn't choose to read this blog, what else would you have done. Lets just say, you chose to participate in some lottery over the internet that you saw (prior to reading this blog) and won $100,000! do you think this cannot happen? perhaps that chances are low but it is not impossible to take place.

i just gave you that scenario to picture how our choices can change our lives so drastically. Have you ever had a time where you thought you would do something like two years time, but when the time came you ended up doing something completely different? I can safely presume we all have.

There is so much of Chaos in our lives. Just imagine how the much the people you meet change over the course of time. Or much you change. And how much people tell you that you have changed. Have you ever paused for a moment to think as to why we change? my perspective is that we change because of the choices we make, which make us more prone to the chaos around us and we adapt accordingly thus we change the way we react to things.

Throughout the years in my life i have met two kinds of people. People who adapt well to Chaos and take advantage of it, the others who struggle and get lost in it.

Chaos, change and choice coexist, and make a huge part of our lives. Although Chaos Theory talks about disorder and randomness, there is still some pattern that could be seen if you observe closely. You could predict to an extent as to where you might end up if you thoughtfully asses that situation. It would not be accurate but nonetheless you would not end up lost amidst the Chaos.

Chaos is beautiful. They say that the eye of the storm is a peaceful place. Although you have shear disorder around you, if you start to read the cues and observe the patterns you would find beauty in it. All you need to do is to withdraw yourself from the surrounding,With all the chaos around you it would be hard to foresee things. Just like how the caterpillar winds up inside a cocoon, take a moment to retreat yourself, and find that inner solitude. Realize and accept the chaos, and then emerge energized and beautiful just like the butterfly. 

Forbidden Love?

The Kiss of Judas

History's most famous kiss, interestingly took place between two men! it did not take place between Romeo and Juliet, Not between Shajahan and Mumtaj, Not between Anthony and Cleopatra and certainly not between Lancelot and Guinevere.

Judas Iscariot kissed Jesus Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane. I do not want to go into as to why Judas kissed Jesus Christ. But the kiss certainly happened. Whether it be a sign of betrayal or love, a kiss is a kiss. And it took place between two men, and it is still fondly talked about.

The recent past really angered me, where in North Carolina same sex marriage was banned. The majority of the people voted against same sex marriage.

So why can't they get married? Why is Homosexuality wrong?

I got answers. And i got answers that were truly biased and had a real essence of unjust to it.

It degrades the definition of  marriage. It is a covenant between and a man and woman and should remain to be so. 

So here we see the sanctity of marriage being put to test. 

Love should essentially be the main criteria for a marriage to survive for a long term. And this statement is agreed by most of us. So why couldn't two people of the same sex who found love among each other get married?

It violates the natural law. This is a statement that i really failed to comprehend. What's the natural law? following this rhetoric question, i faced a series of arguable statements. So if they say that homosexuality violates the natural law, are they saying that we are doing everything in accordance with nature? i don't think so. Think about it. Does it not violate nature to cut down trees for timber and paper, destroying the habitat of animals? ( i'm not an environmentalist but if you believe same sex marriage violates nature, then so does cutting down trees) Does it not violate nature to overkill animals for our own amusements? 

I could go on asking questions like this and proving that most of the times we are not doing everything according to nature. 

So who decides these natural laws?

I found out that this statement was based upon religion. Same sex marriage was not against nature, it was against religion. It was the twisted way in which religious people drafted the statement so that it doesn't seem to have a religious base to it. It offends the religious scripture that we so fondly abide by.

It is said in the bible that two men may not have sexual relationship with each other. But that is said in the bible. But what about people of other faiths? what about people who don't believe in religion? why are they obligated to live in accordance with your faith, beliefs and traditions? 

I could keep pondering as to how we are not living according to what the religious scripture says, and more over i find the whole notion of sinning throughout the week and asking for forgiveness on Sunday absurd. But perhaps that is an argument for another time (and please i beg you to not label me as an atheist!).

What we have to really understand is that Homosexuality is not a choice. Gay and Lesbian people did not choose to be that. They did not get vexed with the opposite gender and choose to be in a relationship with the  person of the same gender. I ask you, if you are a straight person can you choose to like person of the same gender? NO.

Numerous cases of homicides and suicides have been reported throughout the years, due to the bullying of Gay and Lesbian people. What did they do to deserve this?

They are also people. People composed with bones,blood,nerves heart and a brain. And most importantly, they are human composed with feelings. There are still gay and lesbian people living among us, hiding and burying their true self within and loathing in pain everyday for not being able to express themselves because their brothers and sisters are so discriminant.

Why should people have to hide as to who they are? there are gay and lesbian veterans, who have summoned their lives for the protection of their country  without whom we would not be able to sleep peacefully at night. Doctors, engineers, business men and women who are gay and lesbian, without whom our society will cease to exist. Why can't they lead a simple life of their own?

And what we are doing now is simply tarnishing a major portion America's charater, which is equal opportunity and fairness. We need to change, and change for the betterment of humanity.

It is scientifically proven that even some species of animals also exhibit homosexual behavior. But interestingly enough i don't see the other animals who don't exhibit homosexual behavior having a problem with it. 

We also so fondly talk about freedom of speech and giving people their rights, but what rights are we giving people if we a not allowing them to live the way they intend to.

And i would like to restate my point that they did not choose to be what they are. They were born that way. 

And i think it is reasonable enough to allow them to live that way. Or else there is no point in defining ourselves as the "intelligent" species. 

(And for your information i'm a very angry straight person).

January 30th 1948, Birla House.

The prayer meeting was to be started soon, all of the attendees were eagerly awaiting the presence of someone.  The guards were at their prime, patrolling all over the arena which showed me the significance of that person who was yet to come. The attendees were growing restless by the minute, something in their faces didn't seem right, this seemed a little out their ordinary routine. Perhaps the person whom they were expecting was never late before. I heard a sea of voices discussing something seriously, although i couldn't comprehend a word in their language i was able to decipher the tension in the tone of their voice. Suddenly their was silence. In the distance i was able to see a man who was covered in white cloth, i couldn't figure out the face, but i could clearly see the pattern in his walk, short and weak strides. Both his arms were wrapped around the shoulders of two young women who assisted him to walk. The attendees bought both their palms together and uttered the words "Namaste Bapu Ji" in such reverence. He replied "namaste" in weak and a husky voice. As he drew closer to me i was able to catch a glimpse of him. I saw innocence in his stature, but never have i seen such a determined walk. It was like he always knew as to what direction he needed to go. As he stepped towards the podium, a young man hurried towards him, and then immediately fell on his knees to get his blessings, Then one of the young woman said "Brother, Bapu is already late" and tried to lead him away. But that young man swiftly rose to his feet and pulled out a gun. Both the young women were terrified and fled, leaving him on his own. Before anyone could comprehend the young man pulled the trigger and the gun exploded. The bullet pierced his chest. The crowd scattered screaming and terrified. Then again the young man shot at him, twice this time, and when the third bullet hit, he cried the words "Hey Ram" and fell to the ground.

This was just my imaginary account of the assassination of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. This account contains a few real facts and a few coined scenes.

There is still controversy that if Gandhi uttered the words "Hey Ram" during his assassination. Nonetheless the truth died with him.
I would ask you to notice that i did not refer to him as the "Mahatma" as he is popularly known. I have stripped him off the divinity that he was crowned with. This divinity, the reverence makes him look another deity. And because of such reverence, all his labor seems like another work of God. No. He was an ordinary man who did extra ordinary things with shear determination and will.

The purpose of this article was not to give a biography about Gandhi, but rather to remind ourselves about a great philosophy that seems like had fallen prey to one of the bullets shot by Nathuram Godse (the man who murdered Gandhi).

Ahimsa. non violence. which was penned by Gandhi, had sadly been long forgotten.

The complexity of this philosophy is such that it cannot be merely explained with a couple of sentences. But to shorten the length of this blog i would say he wanted to achieve the truth without any violence. And he was a living proof to show that this philosophy worked.

Why i address this now is that, i recently happen to hear that in my country (Sri lanka) that there had been some uproar due to some religious disagreements. I would not like to go into the minutiae of the incident but i hasten to point out that people were at the brink of using violence against each other to settle the dispute.

And my initial reaction to this news was that, after 30 years of communal clash people still did not learn. They still did not learn that violence was not going to settle anything but inflict further damage to the already wounded country.

Violence had never proved to be best solution to any unrest that should arise. And i would like to remind people that if they wanted to start another civil war with blood shed and massacre all because of a group of people did not agree with each other?

It is the rational mind that makes less like savage dogs and more like human. And a rational mind would know that truth should be spoken and not fought. None of us would want to see another riot similar to that of which occurred in Calcutta in August 16th 1946 between the Hindus and the Muslims which devoured 7,000–10,000 lives. 

It is sad that we are only reminded about the Gujarati man only on the 15th of August. And it also pains me that Ahimsa is being erased from our minds. Another great teacher who suffered a similar fate like that of Gandhi, Jesus Christ also said that "Those who live by the swords die by the sword" These are words of wisdom for us to live by. We are humans and disagreements among us arise too often, but i plead that violence to not be even the last way in which we would resort to an argument.

"Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram"

The Kaleidoscope of Life

If you are having trouble pronouncing the name of the blog, i have listed the phonetics below for your convenience. Phonetically it is pronounced as Kuh-lie-do-scope. There you go, you should have got it now. Why i named my blog as such if you may ask, well that is the sole purpose as to why I'm writing this blog now.

A kaleidoscope is a circle of mirrors containing loose bits of beads, pebbles and glass. As the viewer looks through one end of the scope, the light entering from the other end creates a colorful pattern due to the reflection on the mirrors. The word Kaleidoscope is derived from ancient Greek, Kalos means "beautiful beauty" eidos means "that is which seen, form, shape" and skopeō  means "observer of beautiful forms"

It is my strong conviction that the ancient Greek description of the kaleidoscope really fits my personality. I'm a person who finds beauty through any shape, form or size and thus is "an observer of beautiful forms". Now that i have shed some light about myself, one might still wonder as to why i named my blog as such.

Well let me tell you why.

I find life to be very similar to the kaleidoscope.

Yet again please allow me to explain my analogy.

What do you think life is made out of? If you ask me i would say choices.

And how many ways in which do you think your life could change because of a choice that you make? again if you ask me i would say the number is infinite.

Now let me share with you an interesting piece of information about the kaleidoscope that i haven't mentioned before. As you view through a kaleidoscope you  would see a colorful pattern. But as you rotate the kaleidoscope, the pattern completely changes it's shape and color. And as you keep rotating the patterns changes giving you a whole new picture every time you rotate it. But still beautiful.

It might slowly start unraveling to you as to why i said that i find Life and the Kaleidoscope to be similar.
Just like how the Kaleidoscope is made of mirrors, our lives are made of choices. And just like how we see the changing of patterns as we rotate the Kaleidoscope, we see our life change right in front of our eyes because of the choices we make. Personally just like everyone i regretted some of the choices that i had made in my life before. I saw my life drastically change. At one time i was in the zenith of happiness and the very next second i was pushed into the darkest dungeons, loathing in pain and suffering. I had monumental victories reaching the epitome of success in my professional career, but i failed miserably in love. I was bombarded with these constant and capricious changes which i couldn't bear at one time.

I disliked these changes to the core and i wanted my life to be as straight as a line. But this "want" only lasted until i became "observer of beautiful forms". I realized that change is the only thing that is inevitable, and when i started seeing my life changing, and i saw beauty in it. Now i accept and adore change in my life. And they say "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder". I see beauty in my life. Because none of the patterns are unattractive in the Kaleidoscope. And none of the choices and changes are unattractive in the Kaleidoscope of Life.
