Time machine to the present

Time travel has intrigued man from a very long time. What will happen if we go to the past? Will we land in a parallel universe? Will we be able to alter events to change the reality? Or what will happen if we go to the future? These questions have given many thinkers food for thought.  Will we ever be able to make a time machine!!? I can’t answer that. How about a time machine that will take as back to the present? Because it’s pretty evident that we are in a desperate urgency of a device that will make us come back to our reality, our present. I will call it the NowMachine.

We don’t live in the present anymore, do we? We are either moaning about what happened in the past or anxious about what will happen in the future. We are either regretting things that we did or are restless about things we should do in the future. We have become slaves of the past and future. We have made the present, a hook to hang the baggage of past and a platform to put the weight of the future. We are either still at loggerheads because of what happened a few years back or are concerned if the world will end on 2012. We think ‘present’ is just a ‘0’ in the number line of time with past and future extending till infinity. We don’t realize that even present offers us infinite possibilities. Enter the NowMachine.

NowMachine will take us back to the moment we are currently living in. It will take us to a present which has no past and no future. NowMachine will make us realize there is so much that present offers. One push to the lever and all the future and past just zaps away. Worried about exam results? Enter the NowMachine. Lost a job? Enter the NowMachine. Break up? NowMachine. Terminally ill? NowMachine. NowMachine would become a revolutionizing device!! But wait a minute; don’t we all have a NowMachine at our possession already?
