Chemistry Behind “FALLING” In Love

The remark chemistry in the title is not in the figurative sense but literal. Unquestionably you must have pondered over why it is always falling in love why it isn’t in the other way, rising in love. Well I do recollect a commentary in TOI’s ‘speaking tree’ discourse where some maharishi sermonized over how to ascend in love. Though I did not bothered much about it as it, more often than not, dealt with universal brotherly sort of love, which is a perplexing concept even in the locality of Philadelphia (the city of brotherly love).

Now let us scan this love virus through a rational perspective. The cheeky citation which once an eventful Mr. Einstein remarked on the question of love is proverbial. He cited “Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love”. It’s straightforward. We all can identify that. But Mr. Einstein with all his consummate and innate physicist flair failed to convey a theory of ‘falling’ in love, may be he would have included this issue in his theory of everything which haplessly is still been devised. Thus all the physics, till present, fails here.

Switching over to biology and neurophysiology in hunt of a plausible elucidation. It appears so vexed to an engineer like me. Also at the end it talks about the various chemical processes engendered in brain, the heart is conspicuous by its very absence. They say in love it all originates from heart and biology projects it as a miniature human cranium stained in oodles of blood. That’s why biology is so soporific. So I stirred to chemistry of which I can claim to have a little acquaintance (although it was nightmarish in preparatory days).My darling topic in it was ‘Atomic Structure’ (as it was damn plain), and luckily I figured my much sought after answers there alone.
Remember drawing the energy diagram during formation of ionic bonds. The underlying theory is: “As opposite charges attracts each other therefore the electrons fall towards the nucleus and as they get nearer the energy of the entire system dwindles which thus leads to stability of the system”. A parallel rationalization of ‘loveology’ for the vindication of the falling term could be “Lovers attract each other (opposite pairs provided they are straight), this brings them closer (In our institution at the onset library is their citadel though later on if love prevails they scour out all the exotic locations where their contingent is in preponderance). The energetic inanity and seemingly endless drivel telephonic sessions (at one of the cheapest rate worldwide) is a highly demanding process (so energy is naturally lowered). The complexity involved in the process hardly leaves someone with time for any other activity, and thus stability comes as a byproduct.”

Ironically most of these phenomenons often end into feud. Now tell me how such a complex milieu could leads to a rising situation unless and until it is an illusory Bollywood movie? It may look blasphemous to few and raise some ire. But boss in case your love story is true (CAUTION think again: which is the rarest of things to discover) than the stability which your fall will fetch is pious and virtuous one. Still if you are at loggerheads feel free to scribe your comments.

P.S. U still can post comments even if my analysis is at par with U. Now U will say he is hungry for it.

THE LOST SYMMETRY

Have you ever reflected over the significance of symmetry in creation of universe? I believe it enjoyed an alpha incumbency in God’s psyche when he was busy in creation. It is just a private judgment and one is free to squabble in favor of the ‘Divine Proportion’ (Mr. Dan Brown we owe you great deal of gratitude to introduce us with it when all our mathematics teachers failed to do so), but still the symmetry factor is more palpable one. Infact it is it’s omnipresence that we shell out no heed to it. It need not takes a bona fide geometrician in us to appreciate the symmetry in life. Either be it we the Homo sapiens or other living creatures, either be the trees or be the mountains, either be the celestial bodies and their elliptical orbits or be the minuscule atoms every single one flaunts symmetry. Thanks to our forefathers who reverentially esteemed its relevance and so imitated it in all human conception either be it the mighty pyramids or something as basic as poetry and verses.

I for myself paid no heed to it ere I attended our last hostel foregathering. Don’t assume that we were given any sermon on it by a faculty and in case if they delivered who cares to give even a single byte of their limited oomph to them. Never do I (and given that you found time to read this blog my conjecture is nor do you). Friends I legitimately believe that one is the paramount pedagogue for oneself, and experiences are the real lessons to be learnt (which I myself do sporadically).

It happened so that when after the soporific congregation was over and populaces were energetically swarming out of the foyer, someone inadvertently swapped his left base slipper with that of mine, as they both were alike in all respect but only the size (I wonder how he naively missed to admire the disparity). Being the last to egress, I was left with no alternative but to plant my legs in the vaguely disparate pair. Now whenever I use them uneasiness prevails and I try my level best not to anywhere make it conspicuous to others. The very gaze of them exasperates and I curse the person who mistakenly did so and then I curse my very stance to linger till the pandemonium ends prior to exiting an entrance. But nevertheless it compelled me to identify the grand evenness clandestinely around. Thank you my lost symmetry.

P.S.- Though the blog is not intended amid this reason but in case if you are the hapless possessor of the other pair please just let me know.

ARRIVING ON THE SCENE

Arriving so late makes it appear as if I am just following the bandwagon and may be I am. But scribbling out my mind on my diary pages has always been something eternal to me as I find it hard to articulate it to others, I blame this to my introversion often misunderstood. Feelings are still akin just the venue has altered.

Finding nothing motivating in my classes and reluctant to waste my time in asinine pointless gossips I habitually switch to the last pages of my notebook (the only page which reflects an individual). Most of the things posted here will be the one emanated in the gloomiest hour of my working day…....Yes my classroom hours.
