Out of thin air….

How did they invent a method called the ‘radio carbon dating’ that precisely gauges the age of an object upto 62,000 years???????

How did man dig up tunnels right through Rocky Mountains without them collapsing??????

How did they invent an ‘Avalanche Beacon’ that helps track people who are buried under tons of snow in an avalanche???????

How did people navigate the earth on seas with a mere compass??????

Well, I guess….the same way we zoom into our homes ….the stars…. which are thousands of light-years away!

Science…..Engineering….. Technology…. Gut Feel….and of course…. God’s good humour has made them all possible!

But my personal favourite invention that I look forward to indulging in is The Personal Jet Pack – meant for a single user to fly by strapping a rocket on the back of the user which currently can fly for 9 minutes, doing 18 kilometres provided the max pilot weight is 81 kgs. No more traffic jams, or low-life car-driving or toll-taxes for me!

Annnnd…. the two things that I really really wanna try and I really really hope they speed up tweaking are the Time Travel Machine and Teleportation and I’d never have to get into those confined and nauseating air-proof, water-proof, LIFE-proof LIFTS again!

And the time-travel machine could help me go back in time and tie-up a few loose-ends, give closure and retrieve money that someone owes me. Orrrrr…. I just wait a lil longer till they invent a device that tracks people who just disappear into thin air and leave no skid-marks behind!

Meanwhile….let me light my E-cigarette!!
