Today’s post may be meaningless to lot of my friends, but it reflects on some of my crippled ideas. You may still read on..

Webster defines reminiscence as a ‘remembered past’.

When change is the only constant and dynamism is so true why do we carry memories from the past? Why do we miss friends and families and a congenial smile till long? Why is that some ‘kind ‘ words always inspired us and some acerbic moments always send shrudders? Why did not ‘reminiscence’ fail when ‘obduracy’ was also there..

We learn, care, share, adapt, evolve and everything is so natural. Take this analogy: if you pour sand on a piece of paper it will fall under force of gravity and never get upright or rearrange. Thankfully, we- human-beings, learn and adapt. But we also tend to stick with things. In her seminal work, Orlikowski (prof. at MIT), recon that human actions are enabled and constrained by structures, yet these structures are result of previous actions. Gareth Morgan explained similar phenomenon and called it as ‘psychic prisons’. He said that systems get trapped in their own thoughts and actions.

Obduracy has some role to play. We move on or rather tend to move on with new things as we cannot stick to the past.  Just like we cannot have bread and jam every morning, we cannot enjoy life if things get repetitive. It’s like a cyclic wave which never stops. We end up saying- ‘we need something new’.

But famous psychologists claim that, “one should not change for change’s sake”. Now here’s the catch-22. When do you know that you need to move on? Obduracy can be obscured and striking a balance could be difficult.

I’ll express my déjà vu differently as:

Smile is what made my day

I cherish the real beauty

I love the sound of your heart

How comfortbale you’ve made me…

You take me as I am, no matter how bad I may be

this special comfort of yours, I always keep safe with me..

But these are memories of my past and I hold ‘em in my heart,

If brain is a rational tool please take it all apart…

If obduracy is related to time, remniscence is stronger

If newton’s body is at rest, then stability is stronger

The threat of death and the promise of sex promote instability

If these are edges of Chaos..then I cross the boundary…

Bottle the ideas, you may die quickly

If you wanna innovate, you have to think differently

I tilt the nature of thinking but am caught in the prison

If my soul is free and the song is true you may believe in my vision..
