It so happens, in day to day life, that we stumble upon some piece of news, some stuff, that makes us feel like shit. We blame the system. We say the nation is going to its doom. We blame the government. The Media. The Herd-like crowd. Everyone. Everyone, but ourselves.

And we proclaim, nothing good can be done for this nation. And though I write this for my nation - India, it stands true for almost all nations. After all, who doesn’t like to find faults. And if truth be told, I love to crib a lot.

Such one day, I was cribbing about my nation with my friends. How various evils, various negatives haunt India and what should be done for it. We talked about a lot of issues - poverty, illiteracy, environmental concerns, corruption, morality, mortality, media etc. A lot of things. And all we kept concluding was: “The government won’t get things done. It’s all concerned with being in power”. And we were not just talking about the current Congress power.

Dear Reader,

I intend to tell you a secret – my secret. Kindly keep it with you. One of man’s biggest fantasies has always been to time travel. Since the era of the magi and the witches to the dawn of science and its zenith, we have, time and again, deliberated upon and considered the issue of time travel. Deviously tried to devise solutions and achieve the exemplary act of time travel. To no avail, of course. Until now, I must add.

I claim to have conducted one small time travel expedition. Ask me no questions and I won’t tell no lies. So this is all I will tell you: I developed a time travel machine which excessively used quartz, a not so uncommon mineral resource as fuel and the principle was based extensively on the Special Theory of Relativity. Whatsoever its composition, it worked. I can say that, since I have used it. Yes! I did travel using this contraption of mine and travelled far into future. Well, not so far.
