Homeostasis

'A state of equilibrium or a tendency to reach equilibrium, either metabolically within a cell or organism or socially and psychologically within an individual or group'. Thats what it means. Let me explain. It means that if our body is in a state of internal equilibrium it will thrive to remain in that state for as long as possible until the external force becomes greater... usually the change is accompanied or slowed down with many adverse effects.

I realise that I have done nothing but confuse you. But believe me, every single one of you have experienced this, one time or the other in your life. And this is one law that has been killing me for quite sometime now.

Exam time. The one time some of us fear...all of us despise. Except for the studious, it is the time when we see the books, let alone study them. About two or three weeks before the D-Day we collect all the required material and start our 'attempt' to study. But am sure that many of you would not have been able to do any solid studies for the first 3 days minimum. You feel sleepy at odd times, hunger and thirst strikes like never before. These are the ways our body react. Our state of equilibrium is destroyed. Our brain is working after a long break. The body doesnt like it. But finally it comes to terms with this change. The same happens when the exams finish. We wake up early for some days, we don't feel hunger and thirst and such stuff.

Similar stuff happens when you exercise too. You start flexing those ever relaxed muscles and they react... violently...painfully. Sometimes forcing you to stop. That's what the body wants. Preserve the equilibrium.

It is a wonderful phenomenon indeed. But at this moment it is really frustrating me. Am neither here nor there. Ann am still searching for my equilibrium....
