The other day I was
revisiting this film I had watched way back in school. The movie was
called “Back to the Future-Part two”, not an extra-ordinary film,
wasn't even better than the first part, but the vision of the future
as envisioned by the director was mesmerizing...at least to
me....flying cars, hover boards, jackets which automatically fit you
and dry themselves as well....shoes which lace up by themselves...and
the best of all, pizza which comes in a small pouch which can be
re-hydrated to a normal size in some instrument akin to a
microwave....the disappointing thing was the year, they showed it be
to 2015 which is two years away from now...and I don't see anyone of
these things happening that soon. Could such inventions take place in
my life time? I sure hope so....as a child when I first saw the
movie, I was so intrigued by such fantastic contraptions and they
seemed to belong to a point in time quite far away, so quite possible
in the distant future then, now when the future is not so distant
anymore, I may have to face the disappointing truth, that cars don't
fly as yet, neither jackets or shoes work by themselves nor (so
disappointing!!!) are foods dehydrated in small, even tiny packets and
then re-hydrated to their delicious proportions...well the only things
that have been made possible are the overrated 3D movies (which is
shown in the movie as well, the protagonist is terrified by a very
real looking 3D shark from the “Jaws”)....This is as
disappointing as finding that neutrinos don't actually travel
faster than light (no time travel possible still!!!!).
I am not sure how to
cheer myself up, here's hoping things might look up soon in the
future....
“Que Sera,
Sera,
Whatever will be,
will be
The future's not
ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be,
will be.”

This is something I picked from my sister, she would always quote
some song at the end of anything she would write, I think I like
that...)
