What is a Paradigm shift??

“A Paradigm Shift can be thought of as a change from one way of thinking to another. It’s a revolution, a transformation, a sort of metamorphosis. It just does not happen, but rather it is driven by agents of change.”……………….Anonymous

From a slightly complex point of view:
“Paradigm Shift is a popular, or perhaps, not so popular shift or transformation of the way we Humans perceive events, people, environment, and life altogether. It can be a national or international shift, and could have dramatic effects — whether positive or negative — on the way we live our lives today and in the future.”……………..Anonymous

You must probably be wondering why are the scientific terms involved and what can be the dilemma involved with a paradigm shift..Its simple..Well not exactly simple but pretty much comprehensible..
There was a time when the world believed that the planets and the sun revolved around the earth and that assumption led to the formulation of a number of theories which tried to prove the main assumption right..But then a man with a long beard and a few inches of glass embedded in a metal casing came across and disproved the major assumption…The geocentric system..
(The man was Galileo)..That led to what was probably the biggest paradigm shift in the history of the universe..
But that is something which happens in a millennium or more..

However there are lots of events that occur in our daily lives which we overlook but which are majorly responsible for drastic paradigm shifts..One such event which has kept me wondering and which i came to know about recently was about a gal in a guy’s life..(since both the gal and the guy were pretty good frenz of mine)..

The Story Begins:
There is this guy..And there is this gal..She has been one of the guy’s best frenz for quite sometime now..I dont exactly know how it all started or when it started..All i can recollect is it started and for good..They both know each other pretty well by now..Tats usually what happens when u consider the other person as your best friend..This was one of those common cases as well..But the i-am-wondering-how part of the story was that they never really used to meet up personally quite often or anything..It was the usual casual talks,occasional online chats until one day they exchanged numbers..Then UNlike all the typical guys,AND his usual nature too,he “didnt” text her quite often..It was infrequent,just the usual kinds..info about college..fwds…and stuff..but these two never really had the initial spark that was necessary to induce a mutual liking ..And considering the number of times “they” might probably have gone out together the count might some up to a meagre value of 4 or so..But however things started getting better between them..One other surprising part of the story was that there seemed to be not a single common interest between them..No similar habits..No common goals..Nothing..EXCEPT Similar way of thinking..

Thought is said to be the most powerful weapon of a human being..It can project the impossible as possible and vice versa..

So all they had was a similar way of thinking..for a start..
So time flew by and they eventually became very good frenz..Started exchanging novels,advices,opinions and all the usual mumbo-jumbo stuff that people do these days..
But coming to a add a lil detail about their persona..Both of them were equally stubborn and the especially the guy had loads of attitude but they were still friendly..In fact the gal was very friendly in the class and had loads of frenz..The guy too had his share..
But there was one more common thing which they both used to do amongst themselves..Listen to each other’s point of views..Well its was a different issue that they rarely differed but nevertheless they always used to do it..So due to all this they started getting closer to each other and became best frenz..And their friendship gradually advanced which led to the change in their attitude but for good..They both had an influence on each other..Mainly the guy..He reduced his i-dont-care attitude which was overflowing..So that’s when the typical “sharing stuff” thing came into the picture..Both of them started sharing their daily experiences and personal stuff which led to the betterment of their friendship..Now they have a lot of care and concern for each other..A day is never ended unless they talk or chat with each other..They just knew that its automatic and natural that they just think of each other when there is something to share..

But Life always has its own way of putting you in a situation where though u know what is the right choice you still expect or hope that the wrong choice is the right one..
One such similar thing happened in their lives..A “few scenarios” made them wonder if it was something more than friendship that they have between them..Was it you-know-what?? Was it something else..So then it started..Their way of interpreting things was changed..They started wondering why they were doing the things they used to do..Was it out of sheer care and concern or something else??The gal was the one who brought this thing to their attention..The guy was surprised but he did try convincing her that it was just friendship with a lot of care and concern involved..But somehow his points were not so strong to get the gal convinced this time..Cuz he wasnt too sure himself..Even though he did try,he had a few days of wondering himself..He was not sure..
One of the mundane things in day-to-day life is this..When u start thinking about your best friend in a different way as in that u might be in you-know-what with him/her you’re at the highest level of dilemma in life..Its an extremely weird feeling..Cuz the only person with whom you’ll be thinking to share such a thing is the same person due to whom you are in the situation in the first place..So your way of thinking about that person changes and THAT is exactly when the paradigm shift takes place..
And so it did for them too..
They were stuck in the “mundane” dilemma due to the paradigm shift of their lives..They wondered and wondered and are probably still wondering cuz such a dilemma persists for quite sometime..I hope they must’ve made a choice by now..But if they did..Was it the right one or the wrong one?? If they havent..Will it be the right one or the wrong one??
We will never know cuz choice of a person is just an outcome of his/her perception..
Like, this story was “my” perception of “their” lives..

P.S– If you are wondering about their present lives..both of them are very happy and single and are still best friends…
And i hope i’m not assassinated for writing this one..Lol.. 🙂
And i sincerely apologize for people who read this thinking it was a sci-fi post..
