Life ~ Chaos

The world is full of chaos....Infact Ma Durga the various manifestations of whose idol we worship her in Calcutta is also a form of chaos.. A good form of chaos though which signifies the victory of good over evil.. It portrays the battle between Mahishasura a powerful asura who overlooks the possibility that a woman should be able to slay him a nd Ma Durga,the  power behind work of creation, preservation, and destruction of the world who  slays him   carrying with her  10 weapons,riding a ferocious lion... It also signifies forgiveness as b efore dying the Asura worshiped Goddess Durga and Ma granted him a boon that he will be worshiped with her till end of time..So whenever we see Devi durga being worshiped we also see Mahishasura is standing under her feet pierced by the trident at his chest...

Sometimes the best way to move into the unknown is to take familiar steps, small steps.... But no matter how much you pretend that the way and the steps are familiar you know its the unknown,the unfamiliar, the unexplored that you're moving into and that freaks you out from within... Most people lead lives that follow a pattern like getting out of school,then college and then finding yourself a job and landing up somewhere..being someone...And then there's your personal life in between to juggle..But why is there always a pattern..? I mean I've seen people going back to study a completely different course after completing school and college and doing an internship like this US based uncle who completed med school to get into an architecture course..But most people regard these as stupid decisions they think these people are guided by emotion and not their better judgement... Anything which is not in a pattern or which does not fit into our pattern is considered nonsens
Life doesn't rhyme...
