What if life had a << and >> button?

Imagine if life had a rewind and a fast forward button..

Would it be a god sent gift or a curse upon man kind?

What would we do if we hit the rewind button?

1) Study better during your board exams knowing what the questions were.
2) Dont get married to the girl who turned out to be a shrew and constantly heckles you.
3) Flirt with the next door girl whom you found cute but never had the guts to approach.
4) Undo financial miscalculations, avoid accidents.
5) Dont take the job which turned out to be boring.
6) Go back in time, buy shares when the stock market was low, making you a lakhpati in the present when the stock market is high.


What would we do if we hit the fast forward button?

1) Know immediately who your wife would be in the future. This is to prevent marrying the wrong girl or to get to know her and fall in love with her now.
2) Cheat Death a la Final Destination
3) Avoid affairs (all types incl the extra marital one) which got you into trouble.

The list is endless on both sides and so is human want.

We would keep committing mistakes and going back in time to rectify it or going back and forth in time trying to live the perfect life that we totally forget to live in the present.

I guess that's why going back in time or going to the future still remains the domain of Hollywood.

Suprising no one wants a stop button except the supporters of euthanasia. Thank the stars that all the buttons are with the man/woman above. I guess even he/she has only the play and stop button.

As for me, I would like to live my life the way its going, my past, though has not been picture perfect, has been good. If I ever get a chance to go back in time, I would like to relive my school life (11th and 12th) and the last 2 months of MBA.

Past is History, Tomorrow is a Mystery, Today is a Gift, that's why its called the Present!!
