Laws of Life

Don’t know whether my brain was so fried up or I was under trance that I came to find out few analogies for the Newton’s laws. I thought this would be worth sharing as someone would read and criticize me to the core or have a good medicine for their insomnia. Here it goes:

Newton’s First law (not the exact textbook definition which Indian children are being made to memorize): A body maintains its state of rest or uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force. This law can be attributed to life, the universe and the butterfly effect. In life people maintain their normal, cyclic life as long as they are not affected. Everyday men and women go to work, do the household chores regularly so as to sustain their lives. This routine gets affected when events like deaths, loss of job takes place. Thus the state of inertia is disturbed. Similarly the universe at start must have been in rest, which would have been set into motion by an external force. Consider the butterfly effect where in a small change at one place in a complex system can have large effects elsewhere. The complex system may contain smaller subsystem in inertia and one small external force upon a subsystem creates a change in the state of the subsystems in a cascading effect provided the subsystems are interlinked. Hence it can be possible that a butterfly flapping its wings in Rio de Janeiro might change the weather in Chicago or what I have written here may cause a fatal experience to someone somewhere.

Newton’s Second Law: Force = Mass X Acceleration
Thus mass and acceleration are inversely proportional to each other. Consider mass as the responsibility or burden of an individual. Thus the rate at which he grows or reacts or takes decision concerning the responsibility decreases when more responsibility is given to the person. Given the equal opportunity of force or motivation a person with less problems or complexities (i.e. mass) will grow or accelerate fast than the person with more problems. Let us analyze force as the damage or the impact. So if a person with more mass (as discussed above) accelerates fast the impact in the case of a failure would be far greater than the person with less mass. Thus the recovery would not be as easier for a more worrisome person as compared to a carefree person.

Law of Friction:
A body keeps moving if the medium frictionless or it will eventually stop if the medium has some positive friction. So when life is set out on a roll the ideal outcome must be that life keeps on going. But as we have many frictions (problems) in our medium of life, it takes away the energy of the life gradually. Thus when all the energy of life is consumed by the friction of the medium (karma) life stops and that’s why there is death (now you must be wishing that I could have been dead).

Law of Entropy:
Entropy increases as matter and energy in the universe degrade to an ultimate state of inert uniformity. Thus the flow is from high to low so as to attain equality. This is why life flows. At the start of life there is high matter and energy. And in Universe there may be different life at different levels of energy. To attain inert uniformity every life spends its matter and energy attains inertness in the form of death. So every organism is approaching the inert uniformity of death so as to create a balance. Hence till balance is achieved i.e. till there is inequality, life will be in motion.

The Six Letter Word

When I was at nursery,
a girl cried when I was punished,
even though when it wasn’t necessary.
I asked my mom ‘why did she cry?’
My mom smiled and said
‘She is your friend.’

This was at junior,
when shared candies were tastier.
A boy next-door left the town,
and my face was in tears and frown.
My dad asked why I’m sad,
I said, ‘he is my friend’.

It was at high school,
When we all were playing by the pool.
I pushed a fatso and there was a splash,
I was dragged to the principal’s room in a flash.
The principal flogged me and asked ‘Why?’
I said ‘he hit my friend’.

And came the college with girls looking pretty,
And faculty a bit nutty.
We punctured a professor’s bike tyre,
And didn’t spare the break wire.
When questioned,
We said ‘he failed our friend’.

Now sometimes I relax after work,
Glancing at the pictures in the album,
And at those moments I become mum.
My daughter asks me ‘Who are they daddy?’
I say with a tear and a smile,
‘They are my friends’.

a sober gibber

I was laying low
a lone fellow
going head hollow
wow wow wow

surfing all the night
shying from sunlight
dreams on a flight
waking up was a fight

cds burnt on the player
acting as the allayer
killing boredom the slayer
wow wow wow

atlast came the d-day
twas on a monday
began with a gay
but at dusk i was grey
