You are sitting in a train at train station, waiting for the train to start its journey. Another train comes on a track to your right and now it blocks the view of station you were watching earlier. You get back to your newspaper and start checking what’s going in rest of the world. Then you wish, now your train should start as you have to reach office on time. You glance out of the window and you see that finally your train is in motion and the adjacent train coaches are lagging behind you. One at a time, slowly and slowly and then picking up the pace. After sometime you again see the view of station which was blocked earlier by the train. And now you stay dumb there concluding that it was never your train but it was the other train that was moving and the motion sets you the reference in your mind depicting the motion of your train. You are victim of the wrong frame of reference. Quite a proverbial case right?
Unknowingly we the people witness many small, big instances, acquaintances in real life and the duration to realize that it was all deceptive differs. This duration can be of few seconds, minutes, hours or years. Sometime you call it as your perspective or sometime you call it as your dumbness, fate or your hard luck. Not few of these cases you will be in state of mind ‘I am dumb…’ and this statement will be followed by ‘…. not to realize that, she was cheating or … that job was never good or I should have realized that I am being duped.’ I guess there will be no exception at least in human beings (I will have to consult to Veterinaries and Botanist to know if this phenomenon or feeling exist in animals and plants respectively.. GOD please at least spare them..) not to experience this case at least once in their life span of 100* years (*Conditions apply). In fact if I call it as an average of 10 instances per head count I will not be exaggerating the statistics.
I remember my Marathi subject teacher who happened to be my class teacher for 4-5 years. We were in classes 8th 9th and 10th and we used to get a topic for an essay on every Monday. We used to get a week time to come with our writings. She always provoked us to write essays and it was kind of competition in class for writing innovative essay on simple topics. It was all about your perspective, mindset against something very common, very routine. For example very simple topics like ‘An hour spent on Bus stop’, ‘My tailor’, ‘Picnic I experienced’…. etc etc.. We were actually quite grown up to write essays on such straightforward topics and we were looking for some more challenging and demanding topics to write. But the amazing thing was when teacher used to ask us to read each one’s essay aloud in class, many essays were quite different from each other. Some chaps were adding some different stories in essay turning them to some more delicate subject or cause and that was the thing teacher was always expecting from us. Try to think different, out of the box, brand new. She use to say “Tumcha Chasmaa badlaa” (Change your glasses and then see the world). It’s the master key to lead the life. Want to see whole new world just change your perspective against something and your will yourself be astonished with the end results.
Amazing theory. Imagination is what makes us different from other living organisms. I read it somewhere that human brain is so complex and powerful that it can achieve lot of things compared to what we do in our day to day life. Numbers says that we normally use just less than 10% of brain’s capability for to perform our daily tasks and hence we leave plenty room to explore the remaining 90%.
I know this theme can be discussed over and over, again and again looking at hundreds of angles, views and examples and it will get more and more elaborate as it gets, that's why THINK, IMAGINE, CO-RELATE, JUSTIFY, VISUALIZE, DECODE, DECIPHER and see the miracles happening in front of you..
