Long I’ve wondered what it would be like for one of my musical heroes, John Mayer, to meet and play with his heroes, two of the world’s greatest musicians who ever lived, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimi Hendrix. A family tree of Master Musicians who look up to each other, me being the youngest. So unfortunate that both Jimi and Stevie Ray are no more, having lost their lives at a young age to two very peculiar ways of expiration.  Scientists are ever evolving, finding new ways to manipulate reality to make the world work for themselves in all sorts of ways, our own modern day wizards. This is how time travel and multiversal travel came into existence in my world. Anything is possible now, especially this! Today I will be using science for the sake of creating history, happiness and entertainment. I am going to travel back in time and bring back both Hendrix and SRV. Fans have only dreamt about such a lineup, today this dream will cease to be a dream. Tonight is going to be the gre...

I’ve recently come to discover that my dreams have been becoming more vivid. I sleep and suddenly I’m unaware that I’m asleep. My brain transforms into a kind of antenna that broadcasts the lives of multiple versions of me from parallel realities. It’s hard to explain but I’ll try anyway. For the last six or so years I’ve been a nocturnal person, my parents are surprised I haven’t yet befriended bats and owls. Although there was this one time when a bat took a detour into my face as I was entering through the gates of my house riding my scooter, I know, scary right? Luckily I was wearing my Blue helmet. I felt like Bruce Wayne there for a second. I do wanna become Batman someday, I really do. Someday I’m going to find a Cave, or rather build myself one and then I’m gonna go out in society and say things like “I’m gonna buy this hotel, right here, right now”. Every boy wants to grow up and become Bruce Wayne/Batman. Batman in Chennai wouldn’t be as cool, pretty sure of that. I’ll let yo...

The first thing I'd do as a self proclaimed dictator in power in this misogynistic micro sized place for a country would be to give equal rights to women. The people i.e. most of them, now would consider me as a not so crazy dictator, but no, this is where I prove them wrong and show them my true colors. First I’d trash all the fast food shops selling unhealthy/oily burgers, pizzas, sandwiches etc. using my well trusted goons, I’d then put a ban on all use of video games, and then I'd make gymming compulsory to all people above the age of 16. People would now revolt against the new set of rules, they might come in groups and do protests holding all those badly made DIY placards, and to them I say, if you are capable of standing for long hours in the sun walking and power walking in the name of protesting, just so you could continue to eat unhealthy and live unhealthy, you might as well follow my new set of rules.  To those who refuse to obey, i would make it upon myself to appo...
