What's a minute if size is all that matters?

• MUKUL SHARMA

AMONG all the award winning one-minute feature films made was an amazing one called Zoom which tried to rub into us the insignificance of life on Earth, humanity in particular and the human condition in general — in a matter of 60 seconds. It starts with the camera “located” somewhere outside of space and time, showing, in effect, a completely blank screen with just one small dot in the centre. Then the camera starts zooming in. As it does the dot grows bigger, fills the screen totally, and explodes. We’re looking at the Big Bang of creation. The zoom continues seamlessly and enters the newly created universe with baby galaxies hurtling outwards. The screen is blank again in the emptiness of space with just one dot in the centre. As we near, it turns out to be a huge spiral galaxy — our Milky Way. The stars spread out and the blank screen returns with one yellow dot in the centre. Zoom in; it’s the Sun. Back to blankness and another blue dot becomes Earth with a beige dot. A full beige screen then with a dark dot in the middle turns out to be a vast wheat field with a black couple making love in the middle. The zoom in to the man’s back fills the screen with a white dot in the centre which we then see is an albino weevil on his skin. It grows to fill the entire screen. Cut. End. Moral: that’s how insignificant life really is. But the director should have continued. Subsequently, the white of the insect fills the screen with a tiny red dot in the centre. More zoom reveals Varroa destructor, a parasitic mite which attacks insects. Red blank screen with a dark green dot is a single-celled bacterium about to invade the mite. The green fills the screen with a translucent dot in the centre that enlarges to a bacteriophage virus entering the bacteria. The almost transparent virus contains many dots which are RNA strands that fill the screen. When zoomed in to, they reveal their atomic structure. Now a proton of indeterminate colour fills the screen with a fuzzy dot in the middle. Zoom in. It’s a hadron made of composite particles including quarks. Can a quark fill a screen? With cinematic licence why not? — at least to show more dots in the middle which are its own hypothesised substructures. And so on down to 11-dimension strings curled up inside the smallest structure conceivable at present. Cut. End. Moral: That’s how significant life really is. (All we needed was another minute.)

( after so many different posts which came and went away , I am writing a little about change) Do you know how much we change everyday!! And how much we potentially can.. Just a few fates Our body PHYSICALLY changes completely within a span of 10 days.( how, You may Ask?) The Atoms quantitative each and every cell of our body ranging from our blood cells, skin cells..Even our Bones CHANGE completely in a month. Which means , not only do they die and regeneraqte in their respective cycles, the material quantitative them is exchanged / changed with the outside world. ( Can you absorb the above line, its pretty awe striking) WHO are you?.. You have completely changed in a span of a month time.. ( Your hand.. Wash part of something/ someone else last onto) My belief about The Flux of our thoughts has been published here and here ! ( Though this may have come in another entry, but related) a SINGLE though in our mind.. POTENTAILLY ( and does so physically everyday) Creates a chemical.. phy

Yeah even when u think all fits, you notice quite a few things dont. The latest curveball my boss threw during the appraisal, threw me in a spin. Why am I feeling again that I am not supposed to be in this job? And If I am not then,...what? Should I also move out of the city!!.. what to do..!! shoudl not spend a lot of time in putting the puzzle pieces, Maybe life is more of living the puzzle than making all the sense, maybe its someone else's job!!

This Day Then

Nervously along with my cousin sister, brother and along with some unknown people we were at this balcony looking across the Powai Lake. And this effervescent girl is also noticed around. Bright , bespectacled, with a pony-tail bobbing and wearing a bright kurta and jeans/capris. Before anyone could talk, The Teacher ushered us into what was a makeshift classroom. It was the house of one of uncles. The hall which had the balcony had durries spread across its length, with the Glass Dining table pushed in the the corner, the chairs laid around the walls. We were on the third day of the five day Art of Living program being organised at the house of one of the volunteers. All through the brief exercises of Yoga and discussions, apart from exchanging smirks with my cousins, I could not help notice the presence of the girl. At the end of the class, there was brief community snack/ dinner organised. It was late evening by the end of the class and amazing wind was ruffling in the balcony. I s
