Story behind my previous post....

Soon after I started writing blogs, that I received a mail from a dear friend, Dhanesha, asking me to write a guest post on her blog. She was the first person I asked to see my blog. Her opinion mattered a lot to me.

Dhanesha aka Danny is a seasoned blogger. Her blog, diaryofdan, is one of the best blogs I have ever came across. Some people (like me) just put the words together, but for Dhanesha, the words themselves take their places respecting her creativity and skills. Some people are just born talented!!

well... as the story goes, she asked me to write a guest post for her blog. That was an honour in itself!! She gave me ample time to think about it. So I conveniently and totally forgot about it.

Then, after a long time on when I recalled this, I started writing "The butterfly Effect". When I sent her a mail with the post, to review and moderate, she did not reply. Well... not even to my reminders...

I don't know whether she is angry at me or has shut out everybody (which she is capable of doing) or is simply too busy to reply to my silly posts, but since I have posted "butterfly effect" aleady on my blog, I would love to write another post exclusively for her blog.

And this time, I will complete the job on time!

P.S. Considering the fact that Dhanesha is the only person who has visited my blog multiple times, can this be an attempt to suck up to my only reader?? ;)

The butterfly effect

The butterfly effect or chaos theory describes butterfly effect as
"Small variations of the initial condition of a dynamical system may produce large variations in the long term behavior of the system"
I was watching the movie butterfly effect in which a very small change made in the hero's past changes his future in a huge way.

One of my friends told me that he just bumped into an old classmate from Junior college on the road and now, they are about to get married soon.
Another one had nearly missed his interview for the company where he is doing absolutely great.
Someone just had a awesome idea which made him millionaire.

We can easily find some defining moments in our past life which has resulted in the present as it is. How would the present be if such small things had not happened the way they have?

For me, such defining moment came when despite the high fees (for my economic state as that time), my parents agreed for me to attend Jnana Prabodhini. I would have been much different person if I had not been in Prabodhini.
Another one should be when I got posted in Chennai, which I had absolutely never expected (I still dream of working in Pune :)). It was a shock, but I did OK there and that gave a lot of confidence. I feel I am a much matured person after my Chennai days.

Well... sometimes I think, give a change, whether I would change something in my past... I am still confused about this....
There are always some incidences which always feel totally negative. May be there are some in my life too...
But would I like to change them? And If I do change them how would it affect my present...?
I still have a lot of thinking to do....
