A rotten Apple spoils the Barrel

 A Rain Drop

I saw a drop of rain water,

Diving towards the ground,

No question on it's purity,

It's immaculacy knew no bound.

It provoked me to think about its future,

Whether it cleans or it quenches,

Will it prove to be an elixir?

Or will seep into the trenches?

Will it make itself comfortable amongst the droplets of that muddy pond?

Or Will it become a part of Ganges, you bet,

Oh Lord! Good you didn't give it brains to make a choice for itself...

As even homo sapiens sapiens have made no difference yet....

Humans are influenced by their peers

Oh Humans! if they had a choice!

A child born, as pure as a rain drop,

Inherits religion and is influenced by peers, without ever raising its voice!!!

-Parth Gada.

What I wanted to convey through the poem:-

Title-A basket full of fresh fruits but one. That rotten apple can rot others as well.

Poem- A Rain Drop, is very pure in nature. As it decends towards the ground, it at first gets contaminated because of atmospheric gases. Ignoring that, the drop will attain the quality of which ever medium it falls in. 

   The drop has no choice, it is subjected to the physical forces and laws of nature that govern the universe. But we humans! We make a difference. Because, we can "choose". We can choose, what surroundings we want, what friends we want. 

  A person who befriends people who smoke and drink, end up 'trying' it one day! A person who sees a friend in a particular guy, his quality is very likely to be induced in him.

   A magnetic substance when placed in a magnetic field behaves like a magnet. A piece of iron, when in contact with a magnet at one end, itself temporarily behaves like a magnet. 

  A person who stays in a happy environment, feels happy and satisfied. A child who only sees famines and droughts and terrorism...how do you expect him to know what is love!

   If you are in a place where an epidemic broke out recently, you are very much vulnerable to the disease!

    With all these examples, I wish to convey only one thing- "choose wisely"

•choose a good medium for that drop of water. 

•choose to be in a basket where there are no rotten apples 

•choose to be in company of friends who correct you if ever you go wrong

•choose to be under a correct guru (magnet) whose ideals you ll follow. 

•choose to build a happy environment around you

•choose to be in a healthy place. 

•choose to LIVE A BETTER LIFE ....

The human brain

   We humans are the most evolved children of Mother Earth.  Man has dominated the planet since eons and will continue to. But what has made a man so powerful!?

   Man does not have the strength of an elephant, the speed and agility of a cheetah, neither the ability to fly like birds, the sharp claws of a tiger, the venom of a snake, night vision of an owl, ability to camouflage like chameleon, and the list is endless...

   But what is it that has allowed man to dominate all the five kingdoms of life? It's his ability to think, invent, discover, decipher, ponder, wonder, create, dream and realize the dreams. It's our well developed brain!

  So, Our brain is a master piece. No doubt...

It helped us create- machines with the strength more than hundreds of elephants, cars that ensure quick mobility, aeroplanes that breach the speed of sound barrier, prehensively created tools sharper than anything,  chemicals and bombs poisonous enough to wipe off the last bit of mankind, camera for night vision, computers to manipulate, calculate and formulate. 

   We have used brains to solve many mysteries. But the irony is, we don't know many whys and how's about our own nervous system!! We have many open questions in this field, challenging you to take the plunge and solve them. Like-

   •What are dreams? Why to we get them? Why is it that we see that particular dream that we see?

   • why is nature of people different? What controls emotions?

   •why does right side of the body control the left side and vice versa?

   •why some are more intelligent than others?

   •which part of brain is responsible for a particular action?

   •why nerve cells do not regenerate?

   •what part of the brain is the real "you". Where is the soul in our body?!

   •how is a thought or a new idea generated! I mean, it's something big out of nothing!!! How does it happen!?

   •what part in my brain provoked me to write this blog?

The mysteries about our own nervous system are such that our own nervous system is unable to solve so many mysteries about its functioning. 

So is our brain so complicated that our complicated brain cannot understand itself!?

Or is it possible that will evolution make our brains even more complicated that will help us understand it one day or will it make it even more difficult to understand it!?

 The purpose of this blog was to strike a spark of thought in your brain, and just think about it- how is a thought being generated in me...
