The incident dates back almost a decade ago. It was a regular working day at my first employers office. I was summoned by the boss's son for a task. So, while in his cabin, when he was giving me instructions about the task; my eyes couldn't help but notice a small table quote. It read, " When Facts don't suit the theory, change the Fact."
Now, mind you, this was the time, when the only writing I did was noting down pure and raw anger or frustration. Some had also put a tag, of being immature, on me or an irrational person.
Well, salad days they were. So can't complain about people's perceptions. But even with so many negative badges on me, that day in the cabin at that very moment when I read that quote, my mind and heart in a consensus shot back a big 'NO'. Of course, I didn't have the guts back then to say the No loudly. But my mind was pretty clear about it. "When Facts don't suit the theory, always and I repeat Always, change the theory.'

My opinion still hasn't changed. How can you rely on a theory when the world is transforming itself at every passing moment. One size doesn't fit all. Let us take an example of coconut tree. If someone asks us how is the bark of the coconut tree, most of us will right away say, "Straight". But the real reason is the tree grows towards the sun.
I enjoy the theories when we are talking about something that is beyond man's power. Human, sometimes, I feel is the worst thing happened to this planet
Theories about what may have happened before us or before mankind, theories about hidden rivers, drowned cities, the writings on the walls, the fossils found. It just amazes me when I learn something that is beyond the power of humans, today. The current breed, seems, is the worst of its kind. They feel as if they own everything or looks at them as superiors. Yet a simple shake of earth puts 100s or 1000s in burials or crematoriums.
Some may call Jurassic Park or Godzilla or Kong movies as fictional but I do feel they must be there somewhere. Places far beyond our reach. I mean take these few simple examples, how much percentage of Amazon forest have we explored? Did you know Sahara desert was once a forest too? Some say, there is a Nile River beneath the current Nile river which is more bigger than the visible one.
Of course, I am not saying a dinosaur is going to pop out of the Amazon or Godzilla will rise from the Nile. But these theories are really the ones that keeps hope alive. A hope that something will rise and stop this mankind, which by the way is not at all kind. Atleast one of the Nostradamus prophecy will come true which pertains to 21st Century. Somewhere the Vishnu's avatar will resurface or antichrist will come up.
Yeah, sometime I just go in the flow and lose the context. So apparently, I lost the context of what I actually wanted to write. So thought of publishing this one as it is.
