From the “Author’s note” and “Introduction”


“When there is an effect, there has to be a cause, as the effect is the cause made manifest! The invisibility or imperceptibility of the cause is no proof of its non-existence. What happens, happens, that is why!”

‘What do we mean and understand when we say and hear (now quite often): “They (we) share a very good chemistry”?


Life is many things, to most, as the options provided by life are ever too many! Though, those options are not too many is the belief and thus experience, when our perspective stays closeted with the conventional, even if it has stopped to be functional. Our beliefs form our perception and our perceptions form our beliefs—and, which precedes, is difficult to declare, so intrinsically entwined they are. Yet, irrespective of the order, the action and reaction of belief and perception leads to a product, called “experience.”’

Chief Editor of Muse India graciously expresses his erudition

Dear All,

With gratitude and humility share the graciously shared by Mr Atreya Sarma Uppaluri, on WordPress.

This is what he says about the book: "Your book is unique for reasons more than one - firstly, the very concept of applying various principles of Chemistry, coupled with Psychology, to the questions and answers pertaining to life in general is highly creative and bold; secondly, it demands a reasonably thorough grasp of life; thirdly, it is a self-help book that is intended to appeal to one and all in the community. The book is also a testimony to your passion for writing, for you had quit your job as a lecturer in Chemistry, even as you continue to be in grips with your specialisation of Organic Chemistry - to transform yourself into a full-time writer cum copy-editor. Kudos to you for the visualisation of the theme and finally for its materialisation. I wish every success to your book, and I am of the opinion that every Chemistry scholar, every Psychology scholar, and every youth/adult should own a copy of your book, and use it as a medium for their own personal, academic, professional and life enrichment - apart from every educated person irrespective of their educational background."

Thanks and warm regards to him and all.

First book has been published: Why Happens, What Happens... It is Chemistry in Life's Laboratory!

Dear All,

With gratitude, joy and humility I share the news of a dream and wish-fulfillment.

My first book has been published today, on the pusblisher's—Power Publishers—portal. The other online portals too will subsequently have it.

The link, from where it can be procured: http://www.power-publishers.com/power-publishers-new-release-happens-happens-chemistry-lifes-laboratory/


The journey of and with this book began in 2006-2007...and today, it has been let loose, released for all. This book is for all. Contains no chemical equation! The book blurb conveys the crux of the book.

Those who have kids, into chemistry, they too will hugely benefit...and those who aren't in chemistry they too will enjoy. It is a tribute to the subject, chemistry, that has been my window to life's understanding.

It is all about one's chemistry with one's own self and thus with life and all—in a way, it demystifies life and chemistry. Pray that its chemistry with all thrives, and its message spreads far and wide to miles immeasurable.

Look forward to your views. Please feel free to share them freely, unedited!

Thanks and warm regards to you all. You all play significant and unique roles in this journey.

Why Happens, What Happens... It is Chemistry in Life's Laboratory!

Leading and led to: Synonyms?


Yes, often I am found to muse: Whether, that which leads to something and that somethingthe led to—are synonyms? In other words, are “cause” and “effect” synonyms? Because, without one, the other cannot be. Just as without a question an answer cannot get recognition as that that it gets, an answer!

The first time this query popped out of the kernel of consciousness was when I got led to the first line of (and) lyric 1 of Songs Offering by Rabindranath Tagore: “Thou hast made me endless, such is thy pleasure.”

The subsequent readings have evolved the initial reception, etching and evolving the perception in and as these lines (and in coming to this page, they won’t be verbatim, rather would be another evolved version!): Thou hast made me endless, as infinite is Thy humility, as Thou art Love Unconditional. Thou art all-giving, and in Thy giving lies Thy pleasure. Thy pleasure is Thy Graciousness…and all arising out of Thy infinite humility, because of That That Thou Art: All That There Is, Love Unconditional!

Since then, I am found to muse: Whether graciousness can be, in absence of humility? It is humility, leading to graciousness…and thus, the leading and the led to, co-existent, I am found to acknowledge as synonyms. And all because the ledger of consciousness registers all goodness as the germination of the Sole Reality, Love Unconditional, which, with Its infinite play has us musing, at times bemused and at times amused…yet every time, affirming: The cause enjoys a synonymous relation with the effect. The led to is there because of that that has led to it!

When “away” and “after” become “synonyms”


When the paradigm of living changes, living rendered inside-out, everything, every meaning and answer searched and found within, none and nothing is hauled, as every meaning is overhauled, thinking turned inward, one rendered introspective. It is during such a session involving a few moments—unbeknownst—that received is the momentary flash, the flash blessing with the clarity through its inherent light. Revealed is the no longer concealed: When and thus how, “away” and “after” are rendered “synonyms.”

Maybe, when faced with the contradictions, yearning to experience one’s truth and commitment, yet faced with the so-called contrasts, one wakes up to the answers as one rakes up the queries. Mind matters, as what the mind attends to, with persistence, materializes. No wonder, The Buddha’s findings revolve around mindful living, wherein the mind is full with the heart’s knowing, the mind residing outside the mind, finding the perfect abode in the heart…

In such a moment of deep query, knowing well the contradictions have been created by me, as I sought the reasons behind creating the created, blessed I am with the revelation—and yet again I am enamored by the magnanimity of the words, infinitely flexible. As the revelation dawned, its rays emanated, explaining itself: What we run after, we keep running after, as it remains elusive. Why? Because, through this “running after” we are conveying to the universe a lack and the universe responds in kind, as it is absolutely kind, unwavering its reciprocity. At the same time, what we run away from, grips us, as by this “running away from,” we project a fear, a shortfall in trust, which the universe manifests, as it never falls short of delivering the projected with persistence.

And this proceeds to unfurl the wisdom, bliss in: “Be still, and know that I am God.” (Psalm 46:10)
And yet again, it leads to the affirmation of “synony-mity,” in “dynamism” and “stillness!” We strive for the intrinsic bliss, flowing as one with Life Force that courses through us and brings us to form, undeterred by the weather in the mind and outside, knowing: The mind too calms. It is about accessing that place within, the “core,” the “kernel” of stillness, being still yet dynamic, in flow as the dynamism of truth, fully surrendered to the sole “ism,” of Oneness with the Whole, the Life Force, which, with Its Presence within, ensures: Ultimately, neither do we run after anything nor do we run away from anything, fully trusting our very coming to form as Its Word of Deliverance, each one of us, Its Ward of Love!

Thus is presented: When and how, “after” and “away” are rendered synonyms.

The mystery behind “the one and only”


When we hail or haul or refer to someone as “the one and only,” what for do we do so? Yes, it is a general reference to and acknowledgment of a person incomparable, par excellence, unique. But then, are we not unique, each one of us? Each one of us, essentially, is “the one and only.” Our uniqueness lies in the subtle and not just in the gross…and even when we consider the gross, two identical twins subtly present their non-apparent uniqueness: their non-identical fingerprints!

The propagation of the saying is the unawareness of the truth in operation. The reference, “the one and only” yet again turns out to be not a limitation of this language, English, but an inference drawn not in conference with an inner knowing: “I am ‘the one and only’…you are ‘the one and only’…we all are that, as we all are one and yet unique, as all are one with The Infinite One…we all are the infinite manifestations of The One Infinite which can only express Itself as ‘the one and only’!”
