Uncertainty

Uncertainty - Probably the most certain word in every ones journey from cradle to grave. The other day I was reading an article written by a knowledgeable soul...

He depicts few incidents of what he called as ‘default life’, the next few lines are stolen from his blog without prior permission......

 “There’s an old story that is basically true: Ordinary Roman carts were constructed to match the width of ruts in the road that the war chariots had left. The chariots were sized to accommodate the width of two large horses. Roads throughout the vast Roman empire were all built to this spec. When Romans marched into Britain, roads were constructed at that width. When the English started building tramways and railways, the width stayed the same. British labourers built railways in the Americas using the dimensions they were accustomed to.

Fast forward to the space shuttle. The two large solid fuel rocket engines on the side of the launch shuttle were sent by railroad, and to be transported were designed to be the same width. A major design feature of what is arguably the world’s most advanced transportation system was determined over two thousand years ago by the width of two horses.”

Let me get into something personal, how I behave now is based on what my mom thought me since I was a 4 year kid or may be of the age when I was receptive to.

I remember  Amma saying, “Put yourself last, I will serve you once the guest have, Share this with him/her, bla bla bla....................”. 

I sometimes feel horrified for behaving the same way as my father did for which I hated him all my life!!!

Life takes the shape of ‘this’ or ‘not this’. 

Why? I too do not have an answer....

Why is that I order butterscotch every time I visit an Ice cream parlour?

Why is that I have had Butter Nan, Alu Muttur, Jeera Rice and Dal Thadka a zillion times?

If it has to be coffee, why is that it has to be Shanti Sagar?

John Players beat the other brands at least in my wardrobe. Lee Cooper became the absolute. Shell became the only fuel station and McVeggi my favourite bite.

This more or less defines what I have done the most part of my life. My default life!!

Ohh, I began keying down about uncertainty and eventually after a page and half have all the certain stuffs filled in. 

I now really wonder, If uncertainty can play havoc in our so called default life, how will life be when uncertainty coupled with uncertain life with uncertain circumstances along uncertain people!!!!

Wow!! This should be something for 2013, ‘Swalpa other options try maadi’!!

One single life, Be all that you can be and do all that you can do.

Peace Out.
