"A small stir of its wings and things change..."

Have you ever made a decision and repented for it later? Have you ever realized that at times, at some point in our lives we would come across situations where making one decision would lead to one result and choosing the other alternative would lead to an entirely different outcome?
Then there are other times when you just cannot make up your mind and well, that leads you nowhere. Let's not wander off to that.. not for now at least.

Decisions play a vital role in our lives. They are everywhere, like the air we breathe. Even animals make decisions. To fight or fly is the most important decision an animal makes and that would create a future of either life or doom. To say that decisions are a part and parcel of everyone's lives is a bit of an understatement. To say that life revolves in a heliocentric orbit, with decisions smack in the middle of this imaginary orbit is more of an appropriate statement. Now, I am not trying to be philosophical over here, but over my past few observations through my life (that even included times while doing mundane activities) have forced me to come to a conclusion that it isn't only the big decisions that occur in each phase of people's lives that matter, but even the smallest does.

Now, wait up.... You mean making up my mind over things as simple as choosing between a chewing gum that costs a rupee and one that is a rupee higher also matters?
Yep! It sure does. Now, imagine a scenario as follows. You go out to buy a few things and on your way back, you wish to buy a gum. Even though you have spent quite a lot on the shopping that day, you don't mind spending another rupee for a meager gum.
I am rich! You know in my account, I have...
No interruptions. Just listen. So, once you reach the place, you realize that all you have left is a rupee in your wallet. Now comes the part where you have to make up your mind whether to really buy the chewing gum whose flavour lasts for about 20 minutes, or use that rupee to say, make a phone call.
What about cell phones?
Since when have you(we) recharged your account to make a phone call?
Point taken. Please continue.

Now, the above example may sound silly (I know it does, but you cannot do much with just a rupee in today's market). But, in the actual sense, when you grind your gears in your brains, you would slowly start to realize that the phone call made might just turn out to be important, nay life saving. What if you had a toddler in the house alone with the care-taker (nanny) and you had forgotten to turn off the gas? A single phone call might just prevent an unthinkable disaster! So, such small decisions that we encounter in our lives ought to be taken a wee bit more serious. Now the basis with which I have compiled this post is on a phenomenon, commonly known as "The butterfly effect".
Interesting!
Yes, it gets so in a short while.
Alright people, if you all are not aware of the butterfly effect, then here it is.... *drum roll please*
Just tell already..!
Alright, alright! It states that- 
"A tiny butterfly flapping it's wings today, may lead to a devastating hurricane weeks from now". 
Yes, it does sound a bit too ominous, but its actually very interesting if you ask me.
Well, if you ask me, I would say with full confidence that this was theorized by a very paranoid and an obnoxious person.
Nevertheless, this theory (or effect, but I would like to call it "theory" and that's how I would be referring to it throughout this post) has inspired many to come out with creative ideas. This theory however, is completely metaphorical and doesn't actually refer to a tiny butterfly flapping it's wings that eventually results in a hurricane . If that were to happen, then I would probably have the next Hollywood script that is sure to become the next blockbuster. Our lives are shaped by the choices we make or fail to. When we were young, the most important and tough choice was to choose between two types of toys, maybe two brands.
"Should I buy a G.I.Joe action figure or a batman's? He has the GI Joe, so I should probably buy something cooler. Maybe a hotwheels car..?"
Then, as we age, for some, their minds also grow older, whereas for the others... well let's just say they get more "cooler".
The cool dude eh..? I am looking at the mirror now...Yup, got him. Well, hello there..!
Lets just leave him to monologue and move on.
So, there comes a time when we have to make a choice between two or more companies that have decided to appoint you. Yes, it is a well known fact that humans tend to mature usually in the mid 30's. So, there arises a question as to how to decide on the right choice when young. All I am saying is this- try making the choice where you might have a long term satisfaction, at least till the so called "maturity" comes along. You shouldn't however, regret making that choice till the"maturity" phase. We don't want a ripple to be caused that might lead to WW3 eventually..( *hints at the butterfly effect*).
Hmm... Now that is a very good concept for a blockbuster Hollywood movie! I am calling Speilberg right now. But wait, it still needs the following: unwanted explosions used too many times (like the Micheal Bay films- u know, transformers series..? eew!), an American flag fluttering in the wind that has absolutely no relation to the plot, a star studded cast with the top stars getting a very short role, the usual "CIA is the best force in the entire world" concept and finally, a president who usually is a dummy. There, the perfect recipe for a perfect Hollywood movie.

Good one! But to be honest,there have been many movies based on this theory. The film that comes to my mind the most easily is the Kollywood movie "Dasavatharam" that is loosely based on this theory, though not verbatim. Whether the film managed to put forth its main message (concept) to its viewers or not, it was a hit nevertheless.
So, as a concluding statement, I Would like to say even the smallest of choices usually matter. The butterfly effect is everywhere and has already started..... Choose wisely..!
