Once sitting in my room I just wondering how the future was going to be. I was just wishing that some kinda time machine would come in front of me and I would travel across the time and see how the future was going to be like.Suddenly my cupboard started vibrating vigorously .I stood up from my place and opened the door of my cupboard and from here the unexpected journey started.All my belongings got shrinked and there was a screen flowing from top to bottom and operating like Microsoft surface which was asking me the time period to forward and the people that I wanted to see. I slided down the images of my friends to the transition panel and the time forward was 15 years .
Gateway to future was now opening .I was just wondering that how will I see the future standing in front of belongings of mine in the cupboard ,but then….. ZOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM
There was a transition .I felt like I was standing in some kind of void but it didn’t last for too long.
I was in some kind of lounge .I scanned whole room and found my cupboard door still there .A steward was standing there but he was not able to see the portal and me. Now I got it! GODDAMMIT, I WAS IN FUTURE!!!!
I went towards the portal which showed that it will be on return journey in 15 minutes again. So that means it was the time to live the present (or future??).I was too excited.
Suddenly a group of people came in the lounge .Just wait!!! By the way whose lounge was this? Where was I standing? The steward was carrying some kind of menu card and I just caught my name on the menu card. ALOHA!!!! It was my restaurant !!! so the first good news was that my food chain had started. So I scanned the lounge again and this time with the feeling of satisfaction.I patted my shoulder and said well done Eisha !! this place is cool just as I used to think about!
The group of people who entered the lounge were now sitting on couches and I was startled to see everyone there! JEEZ they were my college friends!!! But where was I ? The answer was not much far to guess.I was entering in the lounge wearing a professional suit .Yuck ! I was looking so bad in that suit! And following me was one kid and time traveled me said OMG ,what is that!! But as soon as the kid started to speak I was relieved. He was fair with stern looks and called me ‘Bua’, the future me turned towards the kid and took him in the arms and said what happened and the kid said, bua please order butter chicken for me na! In no time I made a sure shot guess that he was Anmol’s kid. LOL . He was really the carbon copy of him and here Anmol too entered in the room and scolded his son by saying ‘khyan rosti chu n ache kah kaem’ (in kashmiri).I took the kid's side and favoured the kid and persuaded Anmol to let him do whatever he wants. The future eisha sat on the couch with other people but then every body turned towards the window where a lean and tall man was standing talking on phone ,maybe he was standing there for better network range.He terminated the call and turned towards the others sitting in the room , what I saw I had to believe , he was none other than Anshu and was talking to his son who was in BCS shimla. Then he told all sitting there that his son got C grade in hindi grammer.The time traveled me and the future me both said together and in same tone ‘ like father ,like son’.LOL
On one couch my two friends Nakul and Purti were sitting together and Purti was wearing a saaree.Gawd Purti was looking so good in sari and there was her daughter with high power spectacles and carrying a studious looks on her face just like her parents.Nakul was reflecting the charisma of an IAS officer which was proved when his visiting card was dropped from his pocket when he was taking out something from his pocket and I had a sneak peek on his visiting card. “So someone in my friend circle is now an IAS officer.Good Going Eisha”, I said to myself.
On another couch Mahima and Tarishi were sitting together and my first reaction after seeing them was “oye teri!! Kya solid moti ho gayin hai dono ki dono”. They were wearing the identity card in their necks and I concluded that they may be working for some MNC. I was wondering where were their kids and without any ado Mahima herself gave the answer.Mahima’s daughter was sleeping at home (the heredity you know, mahima’s famous daytime slumber) and Tarishi’s daughter …. “Bechari ki maa ne use taunt maar maar ke taane maar maar keghar pe bitha diya” Mahima said.But Tarishi defended herself by saying something in her typical maarvaadi accent. Poor her.Well, old habits die hard . Turning towards a chair where Ritu was sitting.Well she was in her typical Rajasthani Rajput attire with veil over her head .LOL she was luking damn funny!
Her family was now in a business of importing and exporting pets on request only because the pets were rare and extravagant and what she said at that time made me to laugh too much. She said that whenever she visits the store or showroom every customer only buys or orders PARROTS :p :)
Scanning the room i lil bit more and I found a sanyasi baba and he was none other than siddharth.LOL...he said that he was now associated with ISKONS , and I bet that he is not going to continue like this.On the same couch Rajat and Shalini were also sitting and on a chair was a kid with chubby and plumpy face with that dell insipron in his lap.The time travelled me spent no tym to guess that whose kid was he. :P
One more person was there in the room and as soon as I recognized the face I made this sure that I am going to make the report card of this person to tease him when i come back from the future.So there was shreekant sitting.Purti asked him from where he was coming and he said 'was watching horse racing games' and then the future Eisha said 'I was expecting this answer only , very well , it suits u.'
Loud footsteps were now audible and were coming from the corridor.Again my guess was right when Surabhi entered in the room with a loud band on the door and thus a vase got crashed which was there near the door , but this time it was not due to surabhi it was a little girl who came along with surabhi like a jumping jack and their was bruise on her knees because of that. No guesses, she was her daughter. As the traits do descend to the offsprings ,she pounced upon me and I was just hoping that all my body part are in one piece.She cutely said to me 'sorry! i broke your vase' and future me said to her 'nothing to worry girl ,your mother was used to break our bones ,this is just a vase :) ,now go and have a chocolate from there '.
surabhi was looking the same as she looks today she said me to call some helper to remove the trash from there and i nodded and made space for her to sit.
the time travelled me was startled to see one kid coming in the room with a broom in his hand.But he was not there to clean the trash. GOSH this was not any ordinary broom .this broom was looking exactly like firebolt,and the kid was just a look-alike of harry potter, and the future me was smiling while seeing him.That kid called the future Eisha as mummy.What the heck was happening!The future me just explained to Shalini that I had adopted him from an orphanage because of his looks.The time travelled me was now relaxed...whoshhh!!!
Suddenly the portal was making beeps when saw there I came to know that my time in the future was getting over and i just had a few seconds left. Suddenly the future me ringed the bell to call the helper for cleaning the trash and time travelled me was about to open the portal .Just as I was closing the door i saw the helper who came to clean the trash and he was none other than Ya*******a Sharma.I bursted with laughter and right after that the portal started to make the transition .In just the blink of the eye I was again in my present room and I was still laughing.Listening my weird laughter one of my friends came into the room and asked me that what happened and i just said,'it was a day of life in future, u will not understand ' and I gave her a wink...
Amen to the day!
