THE TIME MACHINE

"Why isn't my life like a situation comedy? Why don't I have a bunch of friends with nothing better to do but drop by and instigate wacky adventures? Why aren't my conversations peppered with spontaneous witticisms? Why don't my friends demonstrate heartfelt concern for my well being when I have problems? ...I gotta get my life some writers."

----Calvin & Hobbes

How true....how very very true....sometimes our lives become so monotonous that we tend to look for filling up the voids that are left in our lives towards movies and sitcoms.This is the reason why some people enjoy some movies and some simply rubbish them.(but this doesn't give the reason how one can enjoy a Vijay movie...anyone in their stable mind wouldn't do this mistake).

Anyways this is not about Vijay or his movies(it might bout them in the future blogs ;) )..but about one of the greatest comic strips(at least according to me) CALVIN AND HOBBES.Bill Watterson plays on one simple thing and got his comic to be a raging hit.He cashes in on the fact that there is always a kid in us...a small six year old always living in us even if we are sixty...

Reading through a strip every day kick starts it.Subtle humor,wit,digs at the society and most of all the pure innocence of Calvin.One can easily relate to the "TRANSMORGIFIER" ,"THE TIME MACHINE" etc..i have had my fantasies with such devices and i am not ashamed to tell that i still do.

I bet every single one of us would love to go back to that age of innocence when life is a lot more fun when you are not responsible for your actions.ahaaaaa wishing for "THE TIME MACHINE" right now. i have seriously pondered with this fantasy,thinking that if only i could go back to Einstein's time and pass of the "Theory of Relativity" as mine and be world famous..or just go back in time and become a Nostradamus sorts..predict all the WW,the famous assassination's,the next US president,the course of history and be etched in history forever.When i was 16 my dad told me that a ground(12 cents) in Mylapore cost only 1000 bucks....i again fantasized on my TIME MACHINE wishing i was back in 1950's investing in huge amounts in real estate and selling them off for millions in 2000 and living lazily for the rest of my life.... :D

5 whacky things i would do if i had "THE TIME MACHINE"

5) Eliminate Karunanidhi ,Jaya and Ramadoss---GOD..!! i have had enough of their bickering and fighting,politics and their god forsaken channels..the public would be free of SUN TV and JAYA TV and Ramadoss's metal ideas on social reforms.

4)Torture and Kill Radhika (the 'Chitti' bitch who started the Mega Serial trend in tamil nadu) so that i can watch TV peacefully without my folks nagging me to relinquish my favorite cartoons so that they can watch all the soaps.

3)Categorically eliminate all the BOYBANDS ,like Hitler's "FINAL SOLUTION" ,so that everyone can listen to PINK FLOYD..!! .I would inject them with a special kind of virus so that they would suffer a debilitating brain aneurysm...

2) Persuade Jennifer Aniston to continue with F.R.I.E.N.D.S ...dammit...i miss the show very much.

1)Prevent Silk Smitha from committing suicide...It was such a heart break for me. i did not know about the bees and birds when she was alive and when i knew she just wasn't around to share it with ,me :(


weird....... most of my wishes were to kill and eliminate... :D unworthy of the six year old in me... bah...who cares i was a violent six year old...and probably still..

what would be your whacky thing if you got the TIME MACHINE??? comment.

Ending with one of my favorite Calvin Quote..


I think life should be more like tv. I think all of life's problems ought to be solved in 30 minutes with simple homilies, don't you? I think weight and oral hygiene ought to be our biggest concerns. I think we should all have powerful, high-paying jobs, and everyone should drive fancy sports cars. All our desires should be instantly gratified. Women should always wear tight clothes, and men should carry powerful handguns. Life overall should be more glamorous, thrill-packed, and filled with applause, don't you think?

:D
