Time is like a river...

There are many times when we wish that we could travel back in time and change our decisions... change our past... change our lives... But most of the Astrophysicists would say that it is impossible to travel back in time... I too thought the same until I found that if we could avoid the alteration of past... and if we avoid all the time paradoxes, then we could easily travel back in time...

    But why travel back ?? well... the answer is quite simple... We could actually go back and see what happened in past. We could study the past accurately, to use the data in future !

   One of the most common problem in travelling to our past is that, if you go back in time and accidentally kill yourself, then you would've never made it to the present from where you traveled back in time and killed yourself, that means you couldn't be dead in past and you can reach the present from where we can go back in time and kill yourself !!

   I know its too heavy to understand ! but time is actually that complicated. From my 18 years' experience of time travel. I can tell you only one thing, "TIME is like a RIVER", it keeps on flowing.
When we throw a stone in the river, it creates many ripples in the water. However, these ripples are settled very soon because of the flowing water.

Similarly when we travel back in the time, it creates many ripples in the space time fabric. However, these ripples are settled very soon because of the flowing Time. It does not allow you easily to change your past. But past can be changed. Time can be looped. It can even be paused. All you need is the right Time Controlling device to do so.

Everyone is aware of the time controllers. Some call it the Time Machine, Some call it the Time Portal, Some call it the Time Turner. You can call it anything, but it is just a Boat that lets you travel through the river of time... Getting on the boat is not just enough, you need to have the right captain to complete the ride. Be ready for a Mind blowing Time Adventure with me... till then Sit right, and hold tight !!

My first time travel...

      Yesterday, something really weird happened with me. While coming back home from my class in the evening, I was waiting for the traffic lights to turn green at the crossroad near my home. Suddenly, I saw someone who looked exactly like me on the other side of the road. First I thought I was mistaken, but then I realized that he was riding the same bike as mine, So as soon as the signal turned green, I started chasing my duplicate figure. I took over my bike closer to him from behind and I realized that the bike had the same number plate as mine and the rider also wore the same clothes as I did !

      I was totally confused... What the hell was happening ? I tried to get close to this mysterious guy, by doubling up my speed. But the mysterious guy who looked exactly like me, glanced in the side mirror and understood that he was being followed. He first slowed down, then he raced through the traffic as if he has seen some ghost ! this made me even more suspicious about him. Even though I was a commerce student, I had seen enough sci-fi movies to doubt, that this mysterious clone of mine was some kind of time traveled version of myself, who has traveled back in time, maybe from the same day. But this was really weird.

     After a few minutes of chasing him, I realized that maybe he is trying to avoid any kind of time paradox that might arise due to meeting himself in the past,  but I wanted to know about this 'me'. I looked at bike's speed panel and it showed that I've traveled 15 kilometers since I left from my class. Moments later,  this guy,  reached the old abandoned bridge of our city. But instead of climbing up the bridge,  he took the side road that went under the bridge. This area was the most deserted place of our city, as no one has came down here since ages.

    When I reached down there, he was gone. There was no one around. Not even a single living organism. As I was standing under the bridge,  I was able to feel the cold and soft breeze blowing through my long hair, and Blowing up my mind with only one question, where the hell did he go ?

All I could see there was an old structure of the stone bridge. I had hardly moved a few meters on my bike when I saw a small metal arch-shaped gate that was nearly 6.3 feet high. As I rode closer to this gate, I saw fluctuations inside the gate as if it was some kind of mirage.

      This arch-gate, standing in the middle of the old concrete river bank under the bridge, looked brand new. maybe it was installed that morning itself. Instead of going through the gate, I went towards the side of the gate. It looked like the miniature model of the famous gateway arch in Missouri, US. it was really beautiful. I reached the other side of the gate when I realized the my smart-watch ringed with an alarm that it was already 7 p.m. and I was getting late for the Movie my friends and I planned for 7 p.m. I thought maybe this mysterious figure was my hallucination and I should go back.

       So I ran through the gate on my bike. As I passed through this arch, I felt a slight wave of energy passing through my body, but I was so excited about the movie that I ignored this energy and its effect. I reached up and went all the way back to the traffic signal at the crossroad near my home. It was red. I looked at my watch to see how much Movie I've missed. As I saw the time, I felt the biggest shock of my life. The watch showed 6:45 p.m. ! I was quite sure that I've seen it showing 7 p.m. earlier.

       Then I realized that maybe the arch gate was a Time portal. It sent me back in time. So I dumped the Idea of watching the Movie, and started to go back to my newly discovered time machine. While going back to the bridge, I realized that if this was the past, then maybe I was following that mysterious guy this time. So I tried to look for this mysterious figure around and my eyes glanced at the side mirror of my bike. I was astonished to see 'me' following myself !

        Now the entire picture became clear in front of my Eyes. This mysterious figure that I followed was I myself and all this has happened due to that stupid time arch below the old abandoned bridge. Now I thought that I should meet myself and stop me from travelling back in time. So I slowed down a little, and then from somewhere out of the blue, a Wikipedia article that I read about the Grandfather Paradox, came to my mind. If I stopped myself from travelling back in time, then I won't reach back here to stop him from travelling back in time ! If it happens, then this would harm the existence of my life or maybe the existence of this entire world !  This was the strangest thought that has ever came to my mind. 

        So I raced through the traffic back to the bridge as fast as I could. A few moments later, I reached bridge and went under it. I saw the same Arch-Gate there. I went straight through it, but this time, a bit slowly. I felt the energy pulses flowing through my body. It gave me goosebumps. Then I crossed the gate and came out of it. The sky was darker now. I glanced at my smart-watch. It showed 8 p.m. I missed the movie, But I did complete my first time travel. I turned back and saw this weird Arch-gate.

         Where did it came from ? Who kept it there ? Who made it ? How does this Time portal works ? Well... I was wondering the same....
