The BEAD Theory

This post is dedicated to two inspiring people in my life one who inspired this theory of mine and the other who inspired me to write prose!!!

There was this question posed to me by one of my friends....
a very serious one,about a persons' nature.
lemme tell it in form of a story.....

there is this person, lets call him @.
@ is a very quite person frm a simple background.
a person who talks less and is happy to be in his own world, who does'nt want the world to know what he is about.....

He is at peace with the environment he is in...
but then something happens and he has to leave his home, the place he spent his entire life...
and into an environment where things are different, like the outside world...


He is forced to adapt to the conditions in his new "home"!!!
this brings about a lot of changes in him....
and he becomes someone he's absolutely not.....

He does things that he'd have never thought he'd ever do.....
@ looks at his life now and the past he belonged to....
he feels the change in him....
he knows there is some part in him that belongs to his old simple life...


Now the question has that person really changed???

well i answered the question by an example....

we all know of BEADS, the scientific 1's.
for those who don't know much bout them....
they have a property that they absorb certain materials and change their shape and property...
But wen the material is removed, they more or less retain what they are...

so i told the person that @ and probably a lot more whose story is like that..
are like these BEADS....
whenever they are put in a new hostile place...
they change, adapt to the new condition...

but on the inside, they are always the same....no matter what reagent u add....
they retain the same old qualities that they had....

i said i kno that @ always misses the person he was and would really like to revert back to what he was...if he gets a chance....

But u know sometimes and in some places its easier change and very difficult to remain what u are.....

Still just like the BEADS, we stand at different crossings of life changing our essence at every step...
but retaining the basic features that probably make us who we are....
