The Book of Secrets
'Two chemicals called actin and myosin evolved eons ago to allow the muscles in insect wings to contract and relax. Thus, insects learned to fly. When one of these paired molecules is absent, wings will grow but they cannot flap and are therefore useless.
Today, the same two proteins are responsible for the beating of the human heart, and when one is absent, the person's heartbeat is inefficient and weak, ultimately leading to heart failure.
Science marvels at the way molecules adapt over millions of years, but isn't there a deeper intent? In our hearts, we feel the impulse to fly, to break free of boundaries. Isn't that the same impulse nature expressed when insects began to take flight?'

Hey Amit,
As always..its a pleasure coming to your blog and reading the posts.
Again its been a long time since have been here ... And I see a change in the tag of your blog.
Any reasons ? :)
Why would you stop from telling people to ' Live Your Dreams ' ?
Just a question....
Cheers,
Hey bro!
Thanks for the comments :)
If you observe carefully, the question of telling people to live their dreams has been now implicitly framed as a question - with the image.
Instead of telling people - its better to ask a question to remind them.
Plus I wanted the blog title to represent a window to my world, my experiences - so thought to word it as more of the vision of my life :)
I can share more in depth with you in a personal chat :)
Nice post, might be an interesting read.
