Death, Disappointment & Quantum Physics

Human life is as fragile as the dreams we dream. I witnessed the shattering of both today.

Some1 i know lost their mother today, though i'm not very close to them or their family i find myself in no position to imagine their loss, grief or however it is you put it. The family was shattered and i was awkward. It's not the first time I've had to attend a funeral, however most of the time i find myself at a loss of expression. I suppose i lost some1 dear to me relatively young in my life. My grandfather, before i even understood death, he was gone, i wonder if that's what made me indifferent to this particular event in life. The only things  that pass my mind are, "it's gone, it's over, it's not coming back, so why bother to lament, let's just move on and show them that we relish their memories and smile" 

Shattering of dreams however affects me worse than death. I suppose i live in a dreamland. I love indulging in speculating and wishful thinking. I'm a great believer in the "Secret" and i do believe in the laws of quantum physics, however it could be that some things are just not meant to be. I wonder if the cosmos and quantum physics clash or overlap at some plane. I gave tons of positive thought, doubtless positive though to a wish but it went over-budget in the real world. I suppose we need to learn how to sleep with our eyes open now. That i think would the perfect recipe to making an outstanding reality for oneself. 

So cheers to that and hopefully a job well done in crisis management!! ;)

The Evolution Of Ants!

Once upon a time humans and ants co-existed peacefully as there was abundance of everything. Then we began to over populate and ants became a nuisance. the earliest i remember of purging ants
{and no i'm not "The ant bully" i just looooove my candy ^_^}
was with my dad...


Every Sunday usually in the months closer to the monsoons my dad and i would fill injections with a mixture of Beygon and Kerosene and mark the trial of the ants... it was almost like an adventure following them though the nailed carpets, out door's, windows or ventilators... finally we would arrive at the nest and inject it till it overflowed...


Perseverance is a trait only an ant can teach you... No matter how many times we did this they would always be back! Sometimes in a month... sometimes after the monsoon... and so my father and i continued our monthly or bi-monthly adventures...


Then came the housewife's boon... the invention of the fabled "LAXMANREKHA" a medicated chalk which would kill ants if they tried to cross a line drawn using it!! oh every woman in India loved it... it was as essential as having soap!! and resultantly needless to say the little adventures dad and i had reached the "Thus endeth the saga!" climax.


The ants however have evolved a step further and i recently discovered that they have overcome the great laxmanrekha! they are no longer affected by it and continue, much to my dismay to purge my lovely jam...
At this point i request the reader to take a bow...


To these heroes of evolution, who have managed to evolve with every obstacle in their path. One might even say that they are second only to humans in their achievement of the theory of "Survival of the Fittest", though one might point out that if we ever had the order and discipline of the ants, the humans might have well been on their way to intergalactic glory as the most advanced race ever...
