Mr Entropy

Entropy is a natural phenomenon. It refers to the dissipation of efficiency in any closed or open system. It is a significant word for it is the precursor to the word and the phenomenon called 'end'.

One of the chief characteristics of entropy is its inevitable, unmistakable slowness. It is not a process like pleasure or pain where onset and growth can be felt tangibly, even measured in terms like - I was happy in October, I was happier in November. Or in terms like - I was pained in January, I was pained most in April.

One cannot say - Entropy came into my life on 15th August. Or peaked on 26th January.

Its nature is like the nature of growth. Imperceptibly slow, gradual, so that by the time one knows it is there, was there, has worked its way into the vitals, one has already travelled far into the land of diminuendo.

Yet, the human spirit has amazing resources. It is like a Hero from a B grade movie who is left with every bone broken in his body by the goons, but returns after 10 years and says, before he finishes them off - You should have shot me when you had a chance.

Well Entropy, you twin tongue of life, you should have got me when you had a chance. I've got you. I am not giving up.
