Pavan Patale, Finland.

Here is one of my carefree musing, thought over while loitering the corridors of daily quandary of life.

Dear Duality,
You are there everywhere, whether it’s
the behavior of light
or
the usage of intellectual might

Some want to become hero of masses
Some want to remain darling of classes

Some enjoy adventurous vacation by swimming with sharks
Some enjoy simple vacation by sailing with swans

Some believe living as an art
Some believe living as a science

Some put more faith in self
Some put more faith in god

Some lead the groups by managing
Some lead the groups by sustaining

oh! Dear duality you are there everywhere

Some live based on luck by chance
Some live based on luck by choice

Some show their loyalty by collecting brownie points
Some show their loyalty by building things

Some go around the world to teach
Some go around the world to learn

Some measure everything in-terms of money and time
Some measure everything in-terms of space and time

Some want to be a big fish in a small pond
Some want to be a small fish in a big pond

oh! Dear duality you are there everywhere

Some work towards finding black holes
Some work towards building worm holes

Some embrace the principles of spirituality
Some embrace the rules of spirituality

Some decide based on the collective information
Some decide based on the precise data

Some get bored seeing random nature
Some get bored seeing fixed nature

Some disagree to agree
Some agree to disagree

Alas! Whatever it is,
oh! Dear Duality,
You are there everywhere helping us crisscross to get somewhere

Sometimes, Dear Duality,
I feel like you that I am everywhere and sometimes nowhere

Between this everywhere and nowhere,
Sometimes it is as easy as coin tossing
and
Sometimes it is as tough as ocean crossing
