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.

well.........the theory of symmetry has taught you a good lesson and you seem to have learned to dwell with disparity....

Yes Indeed I have.
Infact, As I mentioned in d article that Xperience is d best teacher...
