Ripples...


Tap...Tap...Tap...
Water drops are slowly coming down....
...And that tiny water sphere making contact with still, plain, calm water surface....
A slight sound of splash...
...circular water film stretching out with some small small droplets at the border spreading across 2-dimensional surface with 3rd dimension's interaction...
At the same time, that water drop pulling water surface down and making place for itself to become part of it....
...but, that has already affected the calm surface...that pulling down tension reacted and swollen into little wave on surface....
that's Ripple....
undulating circular lines then slowly move apart....one after the other....

A simple phenomenon...but we can see many things from it...
Life....cool on going steady, calm life....its like a water surface...
and sometimes we see few things trying to interfere in our life...disturbing the stillness...creating ripples....
This interfering entities are sometime part of us only....just like water-drops falling..
or sometimes external which are not related to us but it tries to enter into our life....like pebble thrown in water..
or may be the disturbing thing is unknown...invisible...we never see what is causing that ripples....as breeze flowing over water....

Sitting on lakeside or river bank, we observe these ripples unknowingly. There is nothing new in it...but when you are disturbed internally, your mind relates it to the scene it is viewing. These ripples formed moves outward from the centre and waves disturb the surrounding and gradually with period of time it dies down....the intensity of disturbance reduces and it tries to get back to original form.

Sometimes there might not be one ripple but two three forming nearby... circling at different positions.... and these ripples then collides...few adds up or few nullify each other...creating mixed patterns....Our troubles are like this only...one after the another....they get mixed up..and creates more confusion...and everything start looking complicated...We just have to wait...solve them one by one....as water is always going to come to its stillness.
