Sometimes life takes
sharp turns you never expected life expected life to take. And when life doesn’t
take such sharp turns life seems gloomy. Either way life doesn’t seem what we
want it to be. Everything needs to have a perfect balance in life. But what I
think, if everything in life goes balanced and smooth for a long period life
becomes boring and it seems as if we are not living.
Life should be an
unbalanced mixture of sharp turns and gloominess, of sad and happiness. I can say
this because I have been living such an imperfect mixture of life and I think
my life is somewhat perfect. I am saying ‘somewhat perfect’ because ‘Nothing
Can Be Perfect’. I love this concept of imperfectness. Well, actually I am
tired and sick of ‘perfect’ness. If some of my friends and my parents read
this, they definitely are not going to believe that I am saying this because
they think that I have a penchant of being perfect. But, when it comes to just
living life, I just want to live it. I do not want to be perfect there. (Just
see, this piece of writing itself is imperfect without a title.) I just want to be happy and make others happy.
Why think for tomorrow when you even don’t know whether you are going to have
it or not? What you have, you have it
for today, you can never have it for tomorrow. I might sound preachy, but THIS
IS THE TRUTH.
To say it like ShahRukh
Khan, “Jiyo! Khush Raho! Muskurao! Kya pata …..Kal Ho Na Ho!!!”
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Aaj…aaj ek haseen aur
baant loon……aaj ek dua aur maang loon…..aaj ek aansoon aur pi loon…..aaj ek
zindagi aur jee loon…..aaj ek sapna aur dekh loon…..aaj…..kya pata….. Kal Ho
Naa Ho!!!”

From Uranus
Anwesha walked into the lab just
like every day. She had just completed her new thesis and was just waiting for
some of the additional formalisms to be carried out. She started going through
her thesis and was trying to figure out any advanced modules she can take up to
improvise. Just then, she received an anonymous call. The caller turned out
to be Dr. Ihan Paul, the pioneer of Geology and Extra Terrestrial Sciences.
Anwesha couldn’t believe that she is talking with “The Ihan Paul”. Dr. Ihan informed her that
he has discovered a new project and he needs Dr. Anwesha to assist him with the
project. But when Anwesha asked about the project, he told that he can’t tell
her without her confirmative nod to assist him. Anwesha took
no time to say yes for the project. After all, it is Dr. Ihan! Dr. Ihan asked
her to meet him at his lab the next day at 9:30 in the morning. Anwesha was
really happy but she pondered that why Dr. Ihan called only her. There are many
radio biologists but why her! And what could be so secretive about that
project.
Anwesha was one of the brightest
radio biologists but she was humble enough to acknowledge the fact. She loved
following her regime strictly and was never over possessed. But she was extra
sincere. There were issues that boggled her mind now and then, and she tried to
devise steps towards them. A girl with a clear vision, she is sufficient for
herself.
The next day, Anwesha woke up
with a look into the day ahead of her. She wanted to apprehend what was waiting
for her but she rarely had apprehensions. It was a fine morning. The e-walls
showed a temperature of 42 degrees and the visibility hour for the sun to be 5
hrs. That was a great sign to start a new day. She took in her nutrition
capsules and checked her nutrition levels. She reached Dr. Ihan’s lab at 9:20 am.
She saw some researchers busy working there. They are perhaps Dr. Ihan’s team.
She saw Dr. Terra in the waiting area. Dr. Terra and she had both worked together
for a common project in the past. Dr. Terra was one of the most amazing chemical
researchers she has ever met. She moved to the waiting area. Dr. Terra and
she exchanged formal greetings. She came to know that Dr. Terra was also
invited by Dr. Ihan for some project, maybe it’s the same project she is
invited for. Dr. Ihan walked in, sharp at 9:30. He welcomed them both and
invited them to his cabin.
“Thank you both for coming here.
It’s about a project that was discovered just yesterday. And that’s why I need
your help.”Dr. Ihan said. “But why us?” asked Anwesha. Dr. Ihan replied, “Well,
you two are the most eminent and dedicated researchers in your respective
fields and both support the cause for reviving the resources our earth had in
abundance before.” “So is this about this?” asked Dr. Terra. “Partially yes”,
replied Dr. Ihan, and said “let me talk about the project. You both know that
the petroleum that was once available abundantly is now scarce and it’s going
to finish in just a year from now. The thing that was once available just by
paying money is now a luxury available to the petro card holders; even they can access only two litres a year. The fellows at the UNO want us to find a
substitute for the petroleum within the next 10 months and I am afraid no significant work
has been done till now.” “So, are we here to discover petroleum or something”,
asked Dr. Terra. Anwesha said, “Is it really so?” “Not exactly!” replied Dr.
Ihan, “Actually one of our space rovers returned some samples from Uranus
yesterday. I found a sample of a rather interesting rocky material among
the others. It has radioactive qualities and a rather strange greenish
substance that resembles chlorophyll pigments. In addition, it is amalgamated
with a strange chemical that we are unaware of till date. I examined it and I guess we
can do something on it. I mean, it can be developed to act as a substitute for
petroleum. If it can, then it’s well and good, but if it’s not, then we can come
up with a new substance. Right? What do you think?” “Well, I need to see the
substance first” Anwesha said. “Of course. But, you have to sign an agreement
before that, confirming doing the research along with us.” Dr. Terra and Anwesha
exchanged glances and after a few moments affirmed to the proposal. They took
out their signing devices and signed on the interface at Dr. Ihan’s cabin. The
three of them then walked into a well protected chamber. The chamber housed
that substance, a substance from a strange planet Uranus; a substance that can
change their lives on earth, the substance definitely had potential. The
substance was kept in a Silicate-Iridium container. “Stunning!” gasped Anwesha.
“And you have to work on this stunning piece from now. Today is the 5th
of January and we have authentication on this substance, and hence the research, till the 12th of June. On the 12th, at 11:30 pm, this
substance will be handed over to the International Radiology and Geology Agency
for sending it back to the ISS. So, we have 160 days with us. Let’s begin.”
said Dr. Ihan and showed both Dr. Terra and Anwesha their working units.
Anwesha started examining the
sample provided to her. The substance had very unusual radioactive qualities. It
was an unusual kind of radiation. The pigments that resembled chlorophyll were
another mystery. Perhaps, the radiations affected the pigment,s but it was not
clearly perceptible. She used the pigmentolium to observe the pigment’s
activity but it didn't show any significant observations either. Throughout the
day, Anwesha couldn't find anything significant about the substance. Anwesha
saw Dr. Ihan and Dr. Terra working, through her borosilated window. She saw Dr.
Ihan rarely moved from his unit. He remained glued to his place but he always
maintained a calm face. Composed as always, he was deeply engrossed in his
work. Dr. Terra, however, portrayed various changes in her emotions during her
work. The work continued.
On the 29th of
February, they had a formal meeting to discuss their findings and proceedings
on their research. Anwesha presented the particulars from her research. She
said, “I have discovered the nature of radiations. It’s sort of novel. It’s a
purplish-white radiation with properties of iodine in it. Yes, iodine. The
radiations are not exactly getting radiated. I mean they are emanating from
them but they are not lost completely to the surroundings. In fact, they are
absorbing the properties from their surroundings and are converting it into
another form. The pigment found in the substance, I think, is perhaps the
source of the radiations. I can say this because the pigment has some iodine
like properties as well; though it has some additional properties, some resemble
Iridium’s and some are still unidentified. The pigment is not exactly green. It
changes color. That is, it changes its pigment formulae with respect to time
and the radiation. The formula, that I first identified, was an amalgam that
contained iodine and some other elements. After the first period evaluation,
which is around 20 days, it changed its formulae again. It has now a compound
that contained carbon. Actually it was an allotrope of it. Among the other
elements, one resembled Iridium, but the rest are still a mystery for me. I
hope you may have the answers for the mystery elements Dr. Terra.” Dr. Terra
looked up and said, “Some of the mysteries are still to be unraveled. Yes, I
have identified some of the elements but there are numerous others which are
still to be identified. The thing, that you are calling as resembling iodine is
in fact not iodine but a chemically-modified compound that has the same number of
electrons always. However, it loses protons in order to combine with others. That is, it
forms a compound not by donating or accepting electrons, but by protons. I
have observed it to be rarely donating protons. All the time, I mean
frequently, it accepted protons to make bonds. So, it’s rather an unusual
behaviour. Also, I have discovered yet another element; actually I don’t know
whether it is really an element or something else. It’s like a vapour with no
protons, at all, in its nucleus. It has only two neutrons and five electrons. And
it seems rather odd in its chemical properties because it doesn't show a stable
set of properties, they vary from time to time.” “That’s rather peculiar. I
hope it’s something that is native to Uranus because earlier we discovered a
similar kind of substance which showed different properties every time it was
inspected!”, exclaimed Dr. Ihan and said “I guess whatever we have found
out till date is pretty good but, we need to find something more. Finding an allotrope of
carbon is really a breakthrough. That means it surely possess something
meaningful for us. I hope to find a way out to deal with those allotropes and
the radiations. Yes, one more important thing, I want you people to know, is that the pigments that you say may be the cause of radiations are actually the
source of radiation. I have confirmed the fact. So, let’s proceed to our work
stations. I hope we will definitely find something by June 10th.
That’s the day for next phase of assessment and discussion and then we will
convey our successful findings, hopefully, to the International Radiology and
Geology Agency on the 12th of June.”
May 1st . Just 40 days
left. Anwesha thought she has to do something else. She just can’t keep staring
at the sample and perform some test based experiments. What they needed now is
a major breakthrough. She has to take some viable steps, but what? Should she expose
the sample to high temperature…No, because if it actually contains flammable
substance, she doesn't even know the volume of explosion it may result in. She
still has not been able to find out the exact properties, that is the flammable
properties, of the radiations. But she has to take a risk. What if she takes
the pressure in control and slowly manipulate the ratios? She thought of taking that risk. She started all that she can do. But, nothing significant did
happen. Days rolled by. Tomorrow, they have their next and the last assessment.
Two days after, their hope, officially, will die. Anwesha thought, she should go
back home. She should spend a few moments alone before the moment dooms on her.
She took the sample with her and went to her home. She kept on thinking but she
didn't know exactly what was in her mind. She couldn't even sleep throughout
the night. She moved out of her room, took out the sample and just gaped at it.
She just hoped for some miracle to happen. She has found so much but nothing
has proved to be actually useful. She wanted to find something meaningful, if
not petroleum properties, something which could have been of some use. But she
has found nothing more than some mysterious properties which didn't seem to be
of any use now.
The next day. She went in to the
lab. They had their assessment discussion and as expected, it was decided that
the sample will be handed over after 48 hours. Dr. Ihan asked them to prepare
their thesis on the findings, whatever they may be. Anwesha moved on to her
work station and started on with the thesis work. She was kind of sad and
gloomy. On the 12th, at 10 am they prepared themselves for the
handover. They had to deposit the samples provided to them, for research, to
the prime source in the silicate- Iridium container. Anwesha thought to have a
last look at the sample. She took the sample to her work area and looked. To her amazement she found a different, altogether different, form of radiation.
This was more severe. It had a more dynamic behaviour and the pigment was not just a pigment any more. It was a more prominent substance. It had shown the property
of growth. It has now a substantial growth associated and when she tried to
find any other properties; she discovered that it is perhaps showing some
locomotion. If this actually is something, she has perhaps found out the most
amazing things which SETI has been trying to find out since decades. But how
did this happen? The handover process
was scheduled at 11:30 and she is supposed to return the sample by now. But….She
took a closer approach on the properties and moved the temporometer backwards
for a few hours. She found out that the sample has responded to some external
temperature issues. And it had now some terrestrial properties. Anwesha
couldn’t stop herself and stirred in to find more. She saw more allotropes of
carbon and some of nitrogen too. Dr. Ihan then walked into her work area and
asked her to deposit her sample. Anwesha called him and asked him to just have
a look. It certainly has to be the most major breakthroughs of human civilization.

A lesson to learn
Sometimes life has two ways but sometimes it has many. Choosing between two ways is way too difficult than choosing among many. I can say this because if you have two options to choose from, you would have discovered all the possibilities involved- what you are going to get and what you are going to lose. But if you have many, there may not be a clear distinction between what you get and what you lose.
Ultimately, its you who have to decide. Its you who have to select whether to follow the gains or to follow the loses.
I don't know, what is the right way and which option is the correct one, but I always like to see possibilities in the perspective of gaining. I mean, suppose I choose one option. Definitely, there would be two aspects- you gain something and you lose something. But if I start looking at what I have lost by choosing the option, then I will definitely never be happy. So, its way better, if I choose to see what I have gained. After all, life is all about living and living positively.
As a child, I read Gandhiji's talisman in the front pages of our NCERT Social Science books. It said,"whenever you are in pain and despair, always look for those who are bellow your level, who are suffering more than you. And you will then feel how privileged you are." I, sort of, love this talisman because whenever I feel bad or miss something, I feel good if I remember this. But important thing is to remember it then and there because normally in low moments, you find it hard to concentrate on good thoughts. This is what people say. I, however,find it easy to do so.
Yesterday, I went to an orphanage. And that was exactly not an orphanage. At least, I didn't feel so. I can say this because the children over there are so much happy and jovial, you can hardly say that they miss anything in their life. They are living there with all the happiness in the world.....they feel so. There is a child of around three years age who is very loving. The in-charge told us that she has a late mental development. But, what I found out was she was much intelligent than many of us. She has the gift of love and the gift of smile. She kept us all grounded for all the moments we spent there. We almost forgot who we are. It was a feeling even words can't describe. So,if they can take life so easily, if they are not even giving a second thought to the option they could have, if they are taking life with all the beauty of it and are forgetting the losses they have gone through, then why we people having so much in life grumble for small things. Its a lesson that we have to ,learn from those kids. Why can't we understand that whatever we have is more than enough. God has given us so much. We have been blessed with all the beautiful things. We should be grateful. I am not preaching or advising, but just give it a thought. After all, its just One Life To Live!!

Once in a blue moon, once in college life!

When I first placed my first foot in my college life, I was not very sure what’s going to happen next. I mean, I didn’t have much apprehensions, I had some, but not as is normally expected. Well, what I mean to tell here is that I had no plans when I came here, rather I would say, I was in a state of “forget-all-plans”. I thought college life would be the same things as I have always thought of…..attend classes, jot down notes, behave crazy in the fiesta and whatever..... I was indifferent to anything that came my way and thought just to let things the way they are. I was in some “out-of-the-world” kind of state…..no special plans, nothing bothered me. Now, this is not a writing about the same old story of how college life is everything in a student’s life, how “no more friends groups, no more mass bunks, no more b’day parties” , blah blah blah.
I am writing this because I feel a lot has changed since I entered this college and the same applies to me too. After all, change is the only thing that is permanent in nature. So, today. Today is the 29th day of February. The day that marks the leap year. It’s a special one as it comes every four years. Sounds clichéd…..does it? So why I have named this piece of writing as “Once in a blue moon…..”? If that’s the question, then let me tell one thing, this is the day, we never had in our college life, nor will we have it again,…..together. Well, now that’s what makes it special. A thing which is even rarer and more precious than a blue moon. We have had many moments in these four years, some good, some bad, some stupid, and some not worth remembering. But this is one day, just a single piece, more special and unique than a singleton! Just one day which will be the only moment that has never repeated in all these years, a day which we had never lived, a day which we would never have again….. a day which never can be changed again and no one can ever be able to do so. If a birthday celebration plan in 1st year goes wrong, it can be changed or adjusted in the following year or something of sort…..but this day…..never ever can be modified or reframed. So, it’s you know, sort of a permanent thing.
Coming to today, it’s one of the most special days I had in my college life. Comparing to the person I was, with no apprehensions and special plans, I wanted to make this day a very special one. A day, which can never be changed, being planned by a person who herself had changed. Ironical. Though I always welcome changes….. (remember Mohabbatein! ). We had our usual classes but classes are a part of the things I enjoy in college. (Sorry guys….who don’t enjoy them.)
Even the classes seemed special today. Actually everything did. I wanted to feel each moment that passed by. The butterflies, the birds, the setting sun, the sky, everything and to top it all a small outing just outside the college with friends. Usually, we do so but today we did everything in a special way and with a desire to make it good. That’s what made it more special than was planned for. Everything seemed so splendid, so sweet and so very wonderful that even expressing them in words is just next to impossible. Everything and every moment the day unfurled for me was truly special and unique. And so it was truly once in a lifetime kind of experience. Just like ONCE IN A BLUE MOON….. And just ONCE IN MY COLLEGE LIFE!!

Right from the platter!
If you are passionate about one
thing in your life, and there’s no other thing that you can even think of, then
definitely destiny will play its way to shape it for you. But it’s you who has
to smoothen it further and work for it with all the passion. That is, if you
have a dream and you work to achieve it, you will definitely achieve it.
Pick up any example. I mean example
of any personality who made it large. By the way, I got the recipe for this
article from a recent reality show for chefs called “Master Chef India 2”.
Being a food lover, I love watching reality cook shows. I have followed (though not all episodes) Master Chef
Australia, Master Chef USA, and Hell’s Kitchen, to name a few. I was not a very regular viewer of Master Chef India-2 though, for which I can blame a bad internet connection and absence of a TV. However, my vacations started, I got access to the TV (thank God for that) and I loved watching the show. That was the 10th day of December,
Saturday. The participants (8) were assigned a task to cook the dish of a 2
Michelin Star Chef of Hong Kong. They were supposed to work in pairs. At a
point of time when nervousness comes naturally, I saw Jyoti ji consoling Joseph
(who were both a team) just like a mother would do when her child loses
confidence or/and is nervous. She was asking him to just relax and….. Wow….This
happens only in India…..The following day was the elimination round.
11th Day of December. That team was in the elimination round.
Finally Jyoti ji got eliminated. But, once her name was called upon for
elimination, I saw Chef Vikas Khanna saying some very humble words to Jyoti ji
and even touching her feet. He said that he wants to touch the feet of a mother
who is of no comparison to any chef in the world. He said that this is the
reason why no food cooked by any of the world’s greatest chefs could match the
essence of a food cooked by a mother. And believe me I was watching the show
spellbound and this part of the show was the “wow factor” for me. I mean a
Michelin star chef himself praising the dish cooked by a participant, who is a
mother, was just something… You will never experience such things on a Gordon
Ramsay Show, never ever.
Chef Vikas Khanna who hails from
Amritsar, Punjab is now one of the most prestigious hospitality group owners in
the US. His success story might not be so dramatically discussed by some. It might be just
another story. But, he is a personality who can easily be taken as a source of
inspiration. From cooking in ‘langars’
to being an executive Michelin star chef of the Junoon Hospitality Group cannot
be just another story. It takes the exact temperature, the right amount of
spices, the perfect condiments and precisely chosen ingredients to make a good
dish. But the precise garnishing and the specific attitude makes it perfect.
What I mean to tell is that, he had
a passion for food from his childhood. He wanted this to be his life. He worked
for his passion and he achieved it. Sounds simple, does it? But believe me, it
is not. Having a clearly defined and distinguishing passion is not that easy.
It even takes half a lifetime to discover your passion. But if you have it,
just work to make it happen. And that is not easy as well, but not trying is
worse than failing.
Like I always say, keep dreaming and make them real.
----------------------------------------------
Update (December, 2016): I have been following Chef Vikas Khanna's shows because he inspires me. His interaction with people in his 'Twist of Taste' episodes are so humble and motivating. Truly, a gem of a person!

For Heaven's Sake..... I am
NOT A MACHINE
A lot has been going on these days. Vostok has stopped
thinking about all this. She doesn’t even know how to react to these issues.
Well… it’s actually not an issue but the way it’s going on these days it seems
to be so. The environment, the surroundings, everything seems to be moving in a
very fast pace and the poise that Vostok has been maintaining till now seems to
lose its ground. It seems as if something is there that she is trying to figure
out but just can’t. She can feel it very close to her heart but she just doesn’t
know how to seek it. Well… wait a moment….. very close to her heart…!! It seems
ridiculous. Yeah, I mean she has a heart, right? If yes, why do others do not
feel it. I mean, if she has got a “Real” heart, one should feel it. The ones
living in her proximity has never ever felt that she too has a heart. Is it a
problem with them or is it true that she doesn’t have a heart at all?
Well, that question is still left unanswered. Vostok, from
her birth till date was blessed with a beautiful gift of poise and patience.
She never knew what it felt like to live life without poise. Her surroundings
were always like she imagined it to be. Life was cheerful, always. If ever
anything came her way that she has not planned for or has never imagined it
that way, it had to change…may be she tried and changed or else nature did it
for her. Life was like wearing rose colored glasses. Everything was so calm and
eternal. But…..

And the moon got lost.....
And the moon got lost
When there was the silence of the words
The rats were still racing on
And the moon got lost…
And the moon got lost
The clouds were on a marathon
Yet the stars twinkled with
Light and cheery, zest and merry
And the moon got lost…
And the moon got lost
The birds chirped, the bees hummed
The sun was wide awake
The leaves dried and the flowers withered
And the moon got lost…
And the moon got lost
The sandy breeze with the fragrance within
Whipped and circled and told some tale
The tides mystified and roared with laughter

TIMES CHANGE !!

Change. It’s the nature’s nature. Whether we welcome it or are just ignorant about it, change does happen. It, I believe, is the fundamental law of nature and the sustenance of life. Well, just to explain my point a bit more, just imagine…..what we all are doing in this world!! Of course we are living our lives. But, to ‘live a life’ we need some basic requirements. Roti, kapda aur makaan, it might sound clichéd, but it is. And the entire world just revolves around this. I came across a beautiful concept of life on the website of a snack brand. It goes like this: Every crime that is done on this earth is just because of hunger. So pacify hunger and stop crime. Unusual, but true to the core. Just think, we are always striving to get better- getting better education, better living condition, better ethics… Doing in a better manner means changing the way it existed before. For example, History lessons in our education system-teach us how the world changed in due course. Science-teaches us the conditions that existed before and how these were changed by some new inventions, discoveries, technologies, whatever. Every aspect…..you just pick up one…..is a study of changes that happened and changes that are yet to be made. So, as I said earlier, Change IS the fundamental law of nature. It’s the basic property. And hence, we have no choice but to accept it.
Well, I always believe in the fourth dimension and very much agree with the dynamism associated with it. Now, a question might arise that nothing is static (as everything changes), so why do I have to agree with the dynamism? Whether I agree or not, the dynamism will still be there. Why do I have to state it loud? The reason is, the dynamism I am referring to is just not ‘change’. It’s the dynamism of the change. That is, the rate at which the change occurs. And that is why I believe in the dynamism of the 4th dimension. This dynamism has been a sort of obsession for me since my childhood. I mean, I keep on wandering what exactly keeps on happening. How would we be able to find out correctly the quantities associated with it? And if ever we find out a way, a method, to calculate the numbers associated or the calculations that are to be done will it be 100% correct? I mean, we may feel that the way we are approaching is correct, but still there might be something, hidden or unraveled, that actually will be leading us in a wrong direction even without our knowledge. Well, thoughts like this always kept me puzzled. Genesis is believed to be the greatest puzzle till date. But what concerns me is the puzzle that existed before genesis. Genesis was just a change made.
For getting some diet for my odd inquisitiveness, I relied upon books. But gradually the puzzles increased in numbers. Some got solved but the solutions were over ruled by the number of questions. So I decided to take a break…..to just live my life…..and forget about the oddities for a span of time. But, life is all about oddities. The beautifulness of life is the oddities wrapped. Life teaches more than books. Actually to state otherwise, books are the portrayal of life itself. Hence, reading bountiful books would be a feast for my inquisitive mind (odd inquisitiveness- as stated by some)…..I thought so. But, I tell you, books are a real epidemic…..once you fall in for them, you just can’t get out. It spreads and spreads and spreads. It happened with me too. I just fell in for them and they became an addiction. Well, don’t think I am talking about my textbooks only….. I am referring to the solution corner of the puzzles. Book is just a synonymic term which encompasses everything, textbooks, media, any source of knowledge….. The more I wanted to know about the dynamic nature of the 4th dimension, the more mysterious it became. But that’s the way it is expected to be. Despite of knowing all these, our heart never stops trying. It’s the basic human nature after all. Our brain wants more. It just wants to know more and more…..actually it wants to know everything about everything in this universe and beyond…..This never stops. You feed the mind with a new stuff, it will desire for knowing even more. It wants to know the dynamism of its own self because it loves change…..And Times Change.

About Me
- Ipsita Upasana
- As a blogger, one of the things I am often asked is "How/ When did you get started with all this?" For as long as my memory takes me back, I have always found myself pondering about a plethora of things. I have always loved reflecting on the small but wonderful aspects of life. Ipsita Contemplates has been very special and I love to get the opportunity to share my musings, my thoughts, and my perceptions with you. It is also a way to appreciate the essence of Life!
