Time travel??

Ooh where should i start?.. i just wanted to write something so i chose this topic. I dont know anything about the recent experiments that are going on and as a person with no science background i can not boast of some terms related to Astro-physics. This is more about questions rather than answers...so please bear with me...or just close the browser.

Every one know that we can see things because the light falls on the object and reflects on our eye. Brain reads this information and tells us about the object. So the speed of light and speed with which our neurons transfer the information to brain and how fast the brain processes the information will determine how early we see the things and feel the things.

But time travel is more than just feeling the events faster. Lets dwell on what we really want here...what time travel really is? The only way i can tell is from what i want to do if at all time travel is possible....want to go back in time and set few things right and want to go into the future and know in advance about future events.
Lets examine the first statement carefully- "want to go back in time and set few things right.
1) When i travel back into my younger days, will my younger-self be there whom i can see? So there are 2 versions of same me (good to see our doc warehouse jargon helping me here)? If so how do i interact of influence the other guy (myself) from not doing what i have already done? Just like any other person we meet in day to day life? Since i have the information of what the future beholds if i do what i have already done...i share that information with my younger-self and ask him to not to do it/do otherwise? Lets take this proposition a bit further...since time travel is unknown he might see me as a mad man and ignore me. So while all this is happening, where will my current-self be in the current world? Will i be gone like say vanishing from the current world? So does that mean i am not living my life to the full and live in the past only?...hmmmm....crazy thoughts/questions...lets move on. I remember watching a hollywood movie with the same theme...i dont remeber the name but Bruce Willis is the star and there is one fat little kid who played bruce willis' younger-self. Only difference is Bruce willis meet his younger-self more by chance thatn by time travel.
2) Will I become younger and replace my younger-self and be put in the same conditions as i lived? If so the only advantage is the knowledge of future? As all we know we can control few events and we cannot control few events (please start with butterfly effect). Take the events which we can control. I sometimes feel i should have taken Science in 10+2. So if instead of accounts if i choose science and proceed further...will i become completely different person with different friend circle..different job profile etc? does that mean i can live the life on trial and error basis?? In developers typical language ....code >> compile >> publish >> debug >> recode>> compile and so on....? So if i replace my self does that mean i can live on eternally ????

Gowri...i know you want me to stop writing these crazy/stupid sounding thoughts and get back to work.... so .... that's all for the time being folks...... see you later

First Match with Walker Town XI

The match started a bit late and it is decided to be a 40 over a side match. The opposite team (Walker XI) won the toss and elected to bat first. They scored a well made 240 before they get all out in 37.1 overs. I shared the new ball with another bowler, who bowled really fast and hit the bat on the makers name. Sridhar (doing keeping at that time) missed few balls of his bowling and went for few byes. Though my first over was not a great one which went for 9 runs, I took two wickets in the 3rd and 4th overs of my spell and ended up with respectable 4-1-18-2 figures. I messed up a catching chance but did not miss out on dolly later. One guy on the opposite side made a top score of 61 and played well. Sridhar who is supposed to be our top batsman injured his wrist while successfully taking a diving catch to his left in his own bowling. So he could not bat in our innings.

We started reasonably well scoring 50/1 at the end of 10th over. It all started to go awry from then the next 3 overs yielded 4 runs and we lost 3 more wickets. I went into the middle with one thing in my mind to bat through the 30 over mark and re-assess the next steps then and that was the instruction from the captain too. I resisted gentle dollies for a while and scored 5 singles and tried to give strike for the batsman at the other end who is coring fast. One slower ball from the off-spinner spelled the doom and i lofted the ball into the hands of long-on. Damn it, i always do that, with no real power or intention i just gave a catching practice to that fellow. After spending next 10 minutes thinking how awful my batting became, decided not loft/slog the spinners for the rest of the season. So lets see how i succeed in standing up to my own words. Though we batted out full 40 overs, we could score only 160 (something)/8. Ravi top scored for us with good 41. Needless to say i am disappointed, but as always hoping to do well in the next match.

Hyderabad Divison A leagues - Rohit Eleven...

This coming Sunday i am participating in 50 Over match. The max length of the match played by me so far is 25 overs in the inter-corporate tournaments. So it is needless to say that i am excited at this prospect and i think i am ready for the physical challenge it poses. I hope i get a chance in the final eleven.

Lord of the rings

These days i have been listening to the LOR audio book...again. When i first saw "The Fellowship of the Ring" movie, i thought it was just a visual treat and did not pay much attention to the story line. The Tow Towers also failed to ignite interest as i never heard the story before. But "The return of the King" changed it all. It evoked deep interest in me, made me see it time and again, thanks to the free movie downloads we get on the Internet. Then i started searching for the details of the author of the novel and found out that there are few other novels with the same backdrop. I happened to read "The Hobbit" then, which essentially is a prequel to the LOR movies.

One thing that wonders me about the author is the amount of detail with which he explains the story. He created whole new world, he defined the geography, he carried the story through different ages with innumerable characters, he created a fictitious language (elvish tongue), he wrote poems and did every thing humanely possible. I aint a much reader so i dont know where it stands in the literature world. But when it comes to the movie, Peter Jackson did justice for the story with his exquisite takes and it is one of the greatest movie made till date and it will always be one of my favorite movies.
