Human life is as intricate as the mechanism in a living human body. While the working of his body is guided and supported by the specific activities under taken by the primary unitsof life- the body cells,located in different parts of his body, the life as a whole of an individual is guided and supported by his emotions and his reasoning power bestowed on him by the Almighty. He acts either under duress or under the guidance provided to him by either of the two, for safe guarding his interests or to satisfy his ego.

One has to go on studying for years together the anatomy to acquaint himself with the intricacies in human body and the functions performed by it's different organs. The research and experimentation by throusands of scientists, spread all over the world, for centuries together has given some inklings about it. However inspite of success achieved in clonning certain animals ,it has not beeen possible, so far to produce life artificially.

The success achieved in artificial insemination and giving birth to testtube babies as also surrogacy,however may be important mile-stones in that direction. Studies based on observations  undertaken by philosophers , oriental as well as occidental,for centuries together  have brought them on universally accepted inferences. They all stumbled, sooner or later, on a common factor inherent in human every where and that is the un predictable behaviour of the species.

It is not possible, thus to portray the complete picture  of human life and one can get the honor to witness only the Glimpses of his Life. The snap-shots about it may be result of  emotions  of individuals which are in harmony with each other  or they may have been generated due to friction of emotions of different individuals  or their perceptions.
