In the beginning of twentieth century, Neils Bohr conceived the first quantum mechanical model of the atom-which could explain why there are distinct colors in star lights for example. Another giant who found out the nature of electrons and the principle that no two electrons can be in the same quantum state-was Wolfgang Pauli. His principle made it possible for Bohr to explain the placement of the chemical elements in periodic table!

Thirty years later, Pauli along with Heisenberg were in the lounge with Bohr, wanting his opinion on their theory about sub nuclear particles.

Bohr told them - "Your theory is crazy. The question is- is it crazy enough to be true?!"

A few hundred years before Bohr, Galileo extended our eyes to enable us to see the moons of Jupiter. Graham Bell extended our powers of speech and hearing to be able to hear and speak out to unseen distances. Wright brothers extended our limbs into the wings of flight. Today we have devices that can fit hundreds of microchips in the space of a fingernail, beyond the reach of even the finest human artisan.

We spend so many years learning just the basics about these upgrades of our external senses. But neither at home nor at school are we taught the technology, the science, the art that can extend our internal senses – how to keep the mind free, intellect keen-free from boredom and memory free from negativity.

He was barely 21 when he was hailed as an ace fashion photographer.

He was barely 21 when he became a chain smoker.

He was barely 21 when lung cancer came knocking on his door.

"One Monday morning, as I was riding in high speed to college, I suddenly experienced an intense pain in my heart region. I crashed and fell on the road. I went to the doctor and informed him about my life and my junk-food diet. He told me it was not just localized pain but a mild attack that I had experienced."

"I was feeling heavy in the lungs, and on further check-up, another shocker came my way. I was diagnosed with first-stage lung cancer," Shantha says.

At the peak of his career, he earned great sums and had the most desirous lifestyle for a young man, but it was impossible for him to drop the addictions. In spite of the grim news at such a young age, Shantha chose to stick to his hectic work. He says that it was difficult to leave the work.

Elaborating on the beginning of his downfall, he reveals that it was in school when his seniors got him addicted to smoking. "Friends and smoking both came along to college, and here I was introduced to alcohol," he says.

It was then that the models, tour managers, and clients from the glamour world introduced him to drugs too. His company moved base to Mumbai for ease of operations. Shantha began to travel to Mumbai on weekends.

He was smoking about 90 cigarettes a day now, alcohol was like drinking water, and doping happened at dawn and dusk. "This," he says, "became a prerequisite for my creativity."

This young man was at the peak of success at 21 and at the same time was climbing the ladder of downfall but he saved his life. Want to know how? Click here to know............
