Time Travel

This post has been published by me as a part of the Blog-a-Ton 8; the eighth edition of the online marathon of Bloggers; where we decide and we write. To be part of the next edition, visit and start following Blog-a-Ton.
NOTE: Please bear with the post's length and I assure you that I wont disappoint you. 

I raked the hidden neuron colonies of my brain to clarify myself if had I ever wanted a time machine too? Actually, I hadn't really thought about that except immediately after being in the ambit of science fiction movies in HBO and a book by H G Wells. After thinking about Time Travel, many strange things were in the line from Evolutionary perspective(Apes, gods, 5000 AD etc) as i am basically an Anthropologist. Legends like Ashoka to Alexander, Aristotle to Chanakya, 1857, 1947......and hundreds of such strangest, wildest, funniest, craziest, weirdest thoughts got jammed in the stacks and arrays of brain patterns.   My imagination buffer  stopped abruptly at a critical situation where i got an  ambiguous doubt?
  •   "Will me@2010 and myself being a child can happen at the same time through time machine if i go back to the year of my birth date?....
  • Can i be present at the time of my birth as two persons(one soul???)?.....
The inevitable and incredible clash of thoughts and theories, logic and reason, emotionality and rationality, creative innovation and imagination, philosophy and science, fiction and genres......  made things more messy. Similar is the confusion when i opened the box of greedy future ahead of my contemporary living period.
 
So, do i really need a time machine? And my answer is NO. Let's say there's really a time machine, of course, a lot of people would want to get in there and go back to the past to correct the mistakes they have done, to make life better or make a holiday trip. To do the 'what ifs' , 'shoulds, woulds, coulds' can possibly and probably happen. As for me, I'll just walk close to the time machine,   I'll just pose and take a picture with it! I'll also say cheers and goodbye and wish the time travellers good luck.

If I'll go back to the past and change it, TODAY won't be the same.. I might not be able to meet the people I know today. I'll be sick no matter irrespective of what chemical coding is in my genes and chromosomes. And I might now accept and deal with it like I'm living with it today.. Will I be still this same?
  • Today is TODAY because of the past.........
  • Blah blah blah......
  • ...........
  • .....
Coincidentally,  Katrina joined me at Coffee Day.... and the conversation about time travel went on after few formalities between us.....Blah, blah, blah.....

Katrina : How about if the time machine can go to the future instead?
Me : I still won't ride on it. If I'll go to the future, I won't be able to cherish the present.
  • So instead of time machine, I prefer a watch(Fast-track). 
  • "Everything has a reason. Life must go on."..... (Is she impressed?)
Katrina: It is very boring and dry stuff you have written. Even though you dont want to travel , you can write where you can travel to convey  your imaginative and writing skills....Atleast some Fiction?
Me : Who said that i didnt write anything interesting? I wrote it with heart and mind in the most convincing manner.

Katrina fumed : Where?
Me : I had written it  20000  years ago . I have already travelled in time machine from my nation to this so called modern-civilised-developed-hitech future era. It is bit tough to perceive what i said.

Katrina pulled my leg: Haha, there was neither language nor script 20000  thousands of years ago. How did you write then ?
Me :  Am not from your universe, I came from the neighbouring universe with my Dog's permission(God in your universe). My travel to your universe is part of a "Glogging" competition in my universe where i have to travel in a time machine and have to write my experiences rather than mere compulsive imaginations. I was given four choices to travel. Past, Parallel, Perpendicular and Future(we have 5 time perceptions like you have 3 ). I chose Future and am quite elated to know you people. I love Earthians becasue i feel home here(Nice diplomatic statement right?)

Katrina : But how come can the readers know what you wrote actually?
Me :  Dont worry dear. The Earthians are quite smart. They will know it after few minutes what i wanted to say...... BTW, Katrina, where are you from? 

Katrina :  Am from a tangential universe called "Solomoron" which is inside the electron present in the outermost shell of an Oxygen atom  which is married to Hydrogen as of now. We stay at Marina Trench.
Me : Oh my Dog, Great place ...... Is that Perpendicular time travelling?" Any purpose for your visit?

Katrina : Nope, we call it "Paranormal Time travelling" and am here as a participant of the reality show "Morons " in "Em" TV......  When will you leave to your universe?
Me : As soon as possible . Before the  Black hole4.0 of my universe sucks my polar system, i have to go.

Katrina : Ok. Don't your Universe have Insurance? Where is your time machine?
Me : No, we have "Sensurance" ...... My machine is in the future (5000AD) as one of my friends dropped me here . He is on the way back to pick me up. And how about your machine?

Katrina : We dont use machines. We have Time Reflexes programmed in our brain chips. Are these Earthians are also programmed?
Me : Yeah, these earth suckers are programmed by  a "Social Programming" called "Hypocrisy". Anyway, do you have twitter, orkut, facebook, blogger accounts?

Katrina : No, but we have similar social sites like Cheater, Deceiver, Show-offer, Addicter and Imager . How about your social sites?
Me : We have Time-waster, Manipulator, Procrastinator and Distractor  etc...... I am impressed by your DNA structure. May i have your mobile no please, if you have any?

Katrina : Yeah sure. We call them as "Radiators" and my radiator code(number) is  "Radiator is for you and you are not for radiator". My DNA is made of Plastic.
Me : Ok.... Wow...Fancy number(code) !..... I will give a mister call from my "Tumorer " ..... I guess 'AirSpeak'  offers free roaming across Universes....... Whats your religion?

Katrina: I follow "Covalent-Bondism" religion. Recently we had a war as someone from "Ionic-Bondism" painted the structure of Water molecule without orbits. What is your religion?
Me : Am a follower of "i-me-myselfism" and my caste is "Egoism".  How many genders  do your universe have?

Katrina : 4 genders and we have 10 senses. How about yours?
Me : We have 9 genders but we order customised babies from "Kidzza Hut"(Buy one get one) rather than creating them. We dont have senses. We have dual Perceptions and...............

Before we could say Bye to each other, 4 guys rushed into the coffee shop,  caught us with big nets and thrown us into a white white van labelled as "Hospital for Mentally Challenged, Hyderabad"
