Wish to own a Time Machine

I am not a fan of technology. I don’t own a smartphone which many people around me believe is a necessity these days. Lot of people have asked me why they cant connect to me on “What’s app” and they get surprised when I tell them that I don’t have internet activated on my mobile phone and I don’t feel any need for it also.

Latest cars or bikes or laptops or mobile phones, I don’t keep a track of them. I will research for them on the day I wish to buy one, which I don’t see happening anytime in near future.

Everytime I go home , my dad or my sisters see my mobile phone, they start telling me that they wish to gift me a smartphone and ask me if I want apple or Samsung. And everytime I reply that I don’t feel a need for one. I think they have started thinking now that after spending one year in Chennai, Rahul has gone crazy and lost interest in all good things in life. :D

If someone asks me given a choice , a technological advancement that will make me feel excited – it definitely is a TIME MACHINE. I will love to own one, not to know the future but to go to my past and change few things/moments. I will love to erase some of the moments of my past that still linger in my mind every day. Woww..it would be so awesome if I could turn back time.

I hate travelling time specially in flights. Normally the flight time for me from Chennai to Delhi is around 3 hours. To pass time, I always carry lot of reports to read to learn more about the happenings in the world related to my work. Yeah, am a little nerd J . But once am done with it, I feel bored – sitting in flight, waiting to get home with family. I will love to skip this time.

Thinking today, I feel Time Machine is an impossible idea – one cant do it. But then , I remember reading some great scientist making a statement  which was something like this – we are just at the shore of the ocean of inventions, anything and everything is possible.

So, common the great scientists of the world – make a TIME MACHINE for me. 

Ticking the resolutions continues

I guess this was long pending, something that I have been trying for many years now. First time I tried it was in 11^th class, then once in my 3^rd year of college and last time was when I was in Infosys – giving up soft drinks.

And this is my fourth try. Its been more than three weeks now I had any soft drink. I guess I can rightly say that I was addicted to soft drinks and I never had a strong will power to leave it.

The longest period so far for me without soft drinks was around 3 months , in March – June 2009. Because of lack of sleep and some other issues I had started getting some marks on my face so  I was advised by a doctor to stop having coffee, soft drinks , chocolates etc etc , basically all good things in life for few months.

But this time somehow I feel I can do it for life. I do want to give this up seriously as I realize this addiction had been getting worse day by day. more so with one refrigerator full of soft drinks on every floor of my office – it has been soft drinks soft drinks every where.

I have been pretty successful with one of my last year resolution and am very happy and proud of it – leaving non-veg (http://unknownrahul.blogspot.in/2011/07/ticking-resolutions.html). Its been around one and half years now since I had non-veg.
