This post may be a wee bit abstract, but it isn’t philosophical. Anyone expecting a profound discussion will be disappointed. It may also seem rather long but it is merely a conglomerate of short posts with one central theme i.e. ‘Change’.
1. Change of residence: This serves as an excuse note for not having fulfilled my promise to write regularly. Two reasons – 1. My laziness (No elaboration required) 2. My move (Some elaboration required)
Reason for the move – Irrelevant
1. Change of residence: This serves as an excuse note for not having fulfilled my promise to write regularly. Two reasons – 1. My laziness (No elaboration required) 2. My move (Some elaboration required)
Reason for the move – Irrelevant
Date of the move – Also irrelevant (Nevertheless, It was 31st Oct. Trick or Treating day/night)
Place we moved to - Toronto or so I tell people unfamiliar with cities in Ontario (Canada). For those who are acquainted, the name is North York. Quite a charming place it is. One can see a lot of parks and parkettes around.
[Etymology: ‘Parkette’ – origin Canadian – meaning A very small park with benches and play facilities for kiddies – usage People think I am being super creative when I mention the word Parkette.]
Total time spent – More than three weeks.

Overall experience – Summarized in form of an unsophisticated poem:
What is it about moving?
That makes me really sore.
It does not need much proving
That it is such a bore.
Packing all the things in sight
And others that are not.
It is but the least of plight
That a mover has actually got.
Loading all boxes up the van
Is one heck of a job.
Unloading them without a plan,
Can only lead to a sob.
But it is not the packing
That really takes the cake.
It is in fact unpacking,
Which gives me a headache.
I hope I made my point.
2. Transitions of Nature: As winter sets in, the vibrant colours of nature begin to fade giving it a slightly monochromatic appearance. The trees that were once laden with flowers and leaves are now bare with some patches of snow. The brightness of sky has been greatly altered rendering the surroundings dull. Apparently, the almighty has a penchant for image processing.
3. A mathematical insight: Here I am attempting to determine the influence of time on ‘change’, mathematically.
For simplicity, let us denote ‘change’ by c.
Hence, the function to be tested is f(x) = c ... where c = constant
Let us now compute the effect over infinitesimally small period of time dt.
We get F(x) = f(x)*dt = c*dt
The above function is integrated to acquire the final result.
i.e. ∫ c*dt = c*t + C ... where C = constant of integration
But C = change, since ‘Change is the only constant’
Therefore,
∫ c*dt = change * time + change
The above result shows that:
a) The effect of ‘change’ is amplified over time. It is obvious that a positive change will yield a highly desirable result.
b) Change exhibits a cascade effect. One change will always lead to another. There is no escape.
4. Gmail themes: Google labs have added yet another neat feature to Google’s popular webmail service, Gmail. Anyone tired of its default look can now choose from a range of themes available in the settings. They have some 30 odd choices there. One for each day of the month, I presume. Good news for those prone to ‘personalizing’ everything.

Interesting! Look forward to more posts from you...
Awesome post .. Its so true, Currently I experiencing the effect of change. I changed myself for some reason .. and now that reason is not there at all .. neways my belief . change is required to experience life. so trying to be old BP with more experience . [:)] .. keep on posting dear sister such kool stuff , my blog is also shaping up "Different flavors of Life" . lets see how it goes.
Great post! I especially liked the conclusions you have drawn from the mathematical analysis...
hey chaitali.. very interesting post!!! keep going...
