Have you ever experienced this? You are travelling to work/college/ wherever else it is that you need to be, by bus/train. You catch the same bus/train everyday, which takes the same route, and you take the same time to reach your destination. Assuming you are alone, you invariably end up listening to the same songs on your iPod, cellphone or some other gizmo that plays music. If not, you end up dozing off for a good half an hour at least, (Assuming that you live in a city, in this case Mumbai, and it takes you at least half an hour to get to some place). Finally you arrive at your destination all sweaty and irritated and grumpy. The next day you follow this routine all over again with the same results.
Now, one day lets say you get into a different bus, which takes a different route. Immediately, you don’t feel drowsy anymore. You are more aware of your surroundings, more alive and you start taking in and enjoying whatever is around you. True, you might take a while longer to reach your destination and feel bored. But in some strange way, you enjoy the journey, without knowing know how far you are from your destination…I don’t know if everybody feels this way, but I certainly do!
I think the same logic can be applied to the bigger picture as well – Life Everything changes: seasons, circumstances, relationships, people, the economy (:P), your job, your residence..Heck, even your computer has a “save changes” option. (Okay that was a sad one, but I think you get the drift..:P)
Sometimes, change can be good. It forces you out of your comfort zone. It makes you feel alive, and forces you to push your limits. But more often than not, it is preceded by or accompanied with a feeling of uncertainty, insecurity and a weird sense of fear-cum- excitement. Big changes can be extremely overwhelming. But at the end of the day, it makes you a stronger person. As British Novelist Arnold Bennett aptly puts it -”Any change, even a change for the better, is always accompanied by drawbacks and discomforts.” But whatever said and done, there is no way to avoid change. You can probably stall it a bit, but not avoid it 
as change is the only constant in life.
Love the bus example, and thought process . I agree.
Thanks Rav, I’ve been reading your blog too off late..some pretty interesting posts you have up there..keep ‘em coming..:)
Interesting post. I for one don’t take change too easily. I like to have a set, safe, familiar routine of going about things and a little change disturbs… until that change becomes set, safe and familiar again. I like that these small incidences encourage you to write
