There are events in our life which are defined in a moment. They just happen, and probably on a hind sight a lot of events can be traced back to that one moment. Hence this blog on the tale of a second...
Recently I saw the movie - Butterfly Effect... going by marketing theory i am worse than a "laggard"in this case; but even then- better late than....
What our illustrious lead character was trying to do was to create a chain of events that would be better than the existing...perfecting what has been done.... All he had to do was decide which moment to change and so after a loss of substantial amount of blood (mostly through nose)... he had a different life sometimes better ..but mostly much worse than the life before!... But probably the main point director wanted to drive home was the importance of small moments which play big roles in our lives.... It is those insignificant moments which define our furure significantly!
Hmmm... too much of gas! .. i guess a necessary evil for every budding manager! Life sometimes is so fast that you dont even remember what happened the same day in the morning...forget about the last day... but then... there are times..when every second seems to be more than a movie... you can actually stop it..take a look around... take a sip of ur favorite drink...and replay it!...I still remember that moment...or the momentary lapse of reason..which led me into it... however it will remain as clear in my memory...as probably...one of my sweetest memories ever! No it wasnt sweet...on a hindsight...it could have been much worse...well it wasnt..( as if its not bad enough!!)... taking a 90 degree turn at 60 kmph is not so dangerous.. but with 6 people in your car...with the foot pressed on the accelator.. not so pleasant either... i can remember every second of it.. how the car slowly went out of control....how my confidence( over-confidence..) gave way to a potential major accident.. when the first impact came i was too tensed and focussed even to accept it...it had hit a stone slab!...front right wheel... whaam! the car turned in the middle of the road... using the axle as its fulcrum the car turned...when i first saw it...how i wished butterfly effect was not a fiction and a reality... trust me i wud have given anything just to turn back time... live it again...but then i was struck there... with a bunch of supportive but shocked friends... I often wonder what is worse for parents/friends... the apparent loss of money..of a rather long term loss of faith!!?? well faith shud be the answer...but then,, what they dont get is that the person concerned deserves a better trial.. more than just a chance to prove himself right..he needs a second chance ..when his faults will be ignored..... and walla...my prayers were were answered!!..which led me to another confusion... which is worse... ur conscience playing the same sad video again and again..to make you realise...to analyse the mistakes you made...or a real good blast from...???? well conscience wins hands down!! no comparison..at all!! that second well i dont know what happened..but then i got to live with it...all becoz of a second!!
