The cosmic 'tandava'.

While man's continuous endeavour is to tame nature to suit his needs, he's realised that despite the scientific advances made by him in subduing nature or understanding its mysteries, his achievements on that note is ziltch - the knowledge that he's acquired, thus far, is only a tip of the iceberg.

Now, just try to make sense of this phenomenon of nature - while most parts of Europe were reeling under brutal cold wave conditions highlighted by heavy snowfall that has claimed about 400 lives (the temperature has dipped to -40 degrees! Incidentally, a friend of mine is in Oslo these days who rarely leaves the comforts of the centralised heater's comfort except for essentials), Mt. Etna, the tallest and the most active volcano in Italy's island of Sicily was spewing hot, molten lava!

This is nothing but a cosmic tandava!! One can realise as to how foolish man is when he tries to control nature!!!


Tailpiece.

Yesterday's highlight was a leisurely stroll on Main Street during the busy evening hours, visiting familiar haunts and a not so quiet stay at the nearby Institute, albeit for a short while, thereafter.
