It is said that a mere flap of a butterfly's wings may be strong enough to send ripples through the atmosphere thereby changing the path of a tornado or even causing one in a different part of the world. However poetic this may sound, this concept originated from the chaos theory and Edward Lorenz's works and made people sit up and notice the marked and fascinating implication that a tiny butterfly could, if need be, make its presence felt.
However one is amazed at the complex connotation that this concept encapsulates. Aren't we all subject to the overwhelming feeling of joy when we see a tiny insect like a butterfly, replete with all its splendor? The very picture of a child trying to catch hold of this flying creature which ultimately succeeds in evading him/her, is so very soothing to our eyes. In fact the very inception of this creature from an organism as ugly as a caterpillar, to a colorful butterfly mesmerising us with its varied hues is so very captivating and thought-provoking.
Thus, one wonders why people need to resort to complex theories and equations to prove the impact of this tiny but enamoring creature called the butterfly. The butterfly effect or 'L'effet Papillon' , is evident in the very essence of this creature and its beauty.

'Metamorphosis' is the very word which came to my mind while reading this post. Every being undergoes this process, some rapidly while others take ages. Like a caterpillar, man also walks the path of evolution but we don't realise it immediately. Delving through the depths, when one sees himself in the shadows of time, one gets surprised as to how he has completely changed into a different being both physically and mentally. However what remains unchanged is the innate being within us.
The 'Titli' I first saw in the Derozio Hall at the time of our counselling has definitely come ahead a long way. She may use a variety of adjectives while describing her, but to me she has always remained the sincere and honest, though a little tindery, girl who is at once a friend as well as a confidante.
I wish she forever transmits this warmth and happiness to everyone, wherever she goes, very much like the butterfly of her post.
