I - a Devil and a God

I am the Devil and the God, you will get to know me as what you see and seek from me. For the same Devil and same God lives in you, said Delli as he rose to leave the room. Martin was still thinking what to make of all that has happened since morning. "It is difficult times you see, you may go now", said Martin

These words of Delli had left a mark on Martin's thought. He is still thinking how should he be able to judge that what is right and true in the Devil or in the God; that he has to see and seek in his fellow men like Delli. Delli had been a good friend for all these many years and Martin knew him well, but never expected to have to go through this day, having to make decision that will so hugely alter his good friend's life and the very feeling of being solely responsible for this is making Martin unbearably uncomfortable.

When you wish happiness for a fellow human in pure mind, you actually wish to become that happiness yourself, the bearer of good news. But not here, Martin is in deep struggle within his thoughts and thinking's.   He wished Delli to be happy yet Martin is bearer of the bad news, a Devils act. He felt so lost and wanted to escape this moment, runaway to some place far and hide. Martin switched on the radio by his side and closed his eyes as he leaned back on his chair as far as it could go.

With a soft crackle the radio began to play some song he did not really care and it played for a while not sure how long for Martin was almost dreaming when the door opened and he heard his named called as if God himself was calling him, "Martin, wake up Martin I have something to tell you. Its important, I want to know your opinion". Martin slowly opened his eyed and saw Delli standing and smiling across the table. Hey, Martin as you know things has not been going down well with me here in this office, no matter how I try it was not happening. You know I am not lying. "What is it Delli? Tell me"- said Martin. I just got a call from an old friend who lives in South Africa and he offered me a job from near home. Its a decent job not great salary like here but its near home. What do you think, shall I go for it?

Martin was shocked and a strange happiness grew inside him that wanted to come out, burst out of him as if all his wishes fulfilled. But he only smiled, tried to be gentle and said, "Ah! Boy that will give me an opportunity to visit South Africa. I have never been out of this damn State of Texas for God sake!" Delli smiled and thanked Martin. "Anytime mate anytime, thank you Martin". As Delli left the room, Martin moved his hands around behind his head so as to rest in the most comfortable position that he can and leaned back again. This time smiling as he looked at the file on his table that contain the list of people to be laid-off  this week. Delli's name was on top. And as he leaned and closed his eyes with the biggest smile that he had the Radio played-


                                                       
How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
Yes, ’n’ how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, ’n’ how many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they’re forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind
The answer is blowin’ in the wind

How many years can a mountain exist
Before it’s washed to the sea?
Yes, ’n’ how many years can some people exist
Before they’re allowed to be free?
Yes, ’n’ how many times can a man turn his head
Pretending he just doesn’t see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind
The answer is blowin’ in the wind...

shrunken Ingeniousness

The WORLD, my dearest dear World is becoming smaller day by day while the great wide Universe is expanding ever since. Where do I fit in this tug of centrifugal pull of expanding Universe and reducing Earth....

Yes, yes, I know my understanding of the above two concepts seems to be utterly wrong as how I described above. The ever expanding Universe came to me in last few years of School. Its a very very intriguing thing to try to understand and study. Those days I used to think a lot of this kinds, driving deep into it, deriving my very own theories.

For instance to create a centrifugal force you need to have an object in rotating motion thus leading to a reactive force that tries to keep the object in motion to move on an outwardly straight line at any point of time of its rotational motion. (take a quick breather here!)  For instance if you have a heavy ball attached to a long string and a comparatively smaller ball attached with the heavy ball with another smaller string. Now with opposite end of the longer string in your hand, swing the heavy ball so as to create a rotational motion. At a point when you achieve peak of your rotational force you will see that the smaller ball, the heavy ball and your hands are all in a straight line(ignoring bent due to other natural forces).

Also you can visualize that to keep a body in a continuous rotational motion in an attempt to achieve optimum centrifugal force the rotational force has to be constant at all times. And since we can not achieve a forever 100 percent efficient force a near continuous push and pull force is required that deforms the circular form of path of rotation. Each act of push and pull reached its optimum limit before changing into the other. Ok, so that is also the reason why the Earths rotational axis is elliptical rather than circular, the force is not same is all point and hence there must be a push-pull active force acting. The same also explains elliptical nature of pictures of other galaxies. And also the High Tide due to Moon's path around Earth- point of change of Push-Pull force...ah! ha!

Thus the whole universe is under a constant push and pull motion withing itself. For such a big Universe to perform such a motion would definitely take millions of light years. How long does our Solar system takes to perform such an act, definitely a few hundred thousand years. And right now I am sure we are in a phase somewhere between of constant push leading to an expansion theory. But there will be a time when we will be in a phase of eventual contraction, bring all solar objects closer and closer to each other, reducing the distance between planets, and moons and meteors and all; imagine the affect of such a change to life on Earth. The atmosphere will become more dense due to immense pressure, temperatures will fall and change rapidly, growth of life will slow down and so many other thing, meteors slamming on Earth's surface, super tsunamis will be a every day event. Hmnn... Man, this explains extinction of Dinosaurs also, really large ones died of meteoric hits and extreme temperatures change, mid sized ones deformed into other beings-crocodiles maybe and went into water; the relatively smaller ones became even more smaller may be they became lizards. WoW! a giant T-Rex became a humble House Lizard.

Now I don't even seemed to care what I understood and tried to understand and what I derived than an how I came to my own conclusions. I am sure I am not the only one to do so in their own course of becoming grown-up's. But I definitely try very very hard to step out of this circle I am in and look at it from outside, I barely get time and strength enough.
