Time Travel
They had an argument… a heated one at that, yet again … like every other day.
These regular harsh exchanges that led them nowhere, robbed them of all the peace and happiness.
They once loved each other truly, madly, deeply. Where has that love gone, she mused.
Why is the pain refusing to leave? When did I become so bitter, he reflected grimly.
If only she could go back in time, fix the problems of the past, their present would be beautiful, she thought.
If only he could make his present as past, the future would be perfect, he decided.
I am taking part in The Write Tribe Festival of Words 8th – 14th December 2013.The Theme for today is Travel.

That was truly a very unexpected take.. Time travel would be magnificient, right? Now that will mostly be my dream for tonight 🙂

Happy time traveling, Nischala 🙂

I don’t know whether it is a coincidence.. A few minutes ago I was thinking about time travel and here I end up reading your writing..!!
December 21, 2013 4:01 pm|
Wow! That’s a cool co-incident! 🙂
December 12, 2013 3:41 am|
I love the idea of traveling through time? How magical and awesome that would be! ♥
December 21, 2013 4:02 pm|
I know, wish it was a reality!! 😉

Lovely take on the travel prompt, time travel, didn’t see that coming 😀
December 21, 2013 4:10 pm|
Glad you liked this piece of writing, Jairam 🙂

Lovely image to go with the plot Shilpa… In most cases it is never too late to start afresh.
December 21, 2013 4:11 pm|
True! Only if we try…
December 12, 2013 7:50 am|
Grand thought! Time travel. Only you could think of such bright idea. Lovely post.
December 21, 2013 4:11 pm|
Thank you Ma’am for your kind words 🙂
December 12, 2013 9:46 am|
Cool take in the prompt dear! Your drabbles have become like the perfect cookie one wants with their morning coffee 😀 do continue this run even after the festival!
December 21, 2013 4:12 pm|
Thanks Aditi! Yes, I will. 🙂
December 12, 2013 10:24 am|
that’s indeed a lovely take on the prompt. enjoyed reading it…
December 21, 2013 4:13 pm|
Thank you Shalini 🙂
December 12, 2013 10:39 am|
liked the concept… time travel, teleportation..travelling through to parallel universes…wow.. only if they were possible,….
December 21, 2013 4:15 pm|
Thanks Pratikshya. yeah, wish time tarvel was a reality!! 😀
December 12, 2013 10:43 am|
Aha!! time travel with two different takes on time, a unique take on the prompt…If they did so, please give them my email…I’d like to work the past present future to perfection too 🙂
December 21, 2013 4:19 pm|
If I get to know about TT, will definitely share it with you 🙂
December 12, 2013 11:04 am|
I was thinking of writing on time travel, but then changed it into a train trip. This was another masterpiece from you. 🙂 How do you manage to say so much with so little words? An art I would love to learn. 🙂
December 21, 2013 4:21 pm|
Enjoyed your train trips, Rekha! No worries, you can write about TT some other time or now is a good time too 🙂
Thanks for your kind words 🙂
December 12, 2013 11:12 am|
I had not thought of time travel at all. nice, a very different take on the prompt
December 21, 2013 4:22 pm|
Glad you liked this attempt, Bhagyashree 🙂
December 12, 2013 12:02 pm|
If only he could make his present as past, the future would be perfect, he decided.
But for this to happen both of them have to work towards it. Wish we all could go back and forth in time.
December 21, 2013 4:23 pm|
I know!! Hope this TT becomes a reality soon 🙂
December 12, 2013 12:09 pm|
call it coincidence…..but did we time travel together or what?
how often do we regret our mistakes and want to go back in time again…. superb piece!
December 21, 2013 4:24 pm|
Greta minds think alike!? 🙂
December 12, 2013 1:51 pm|
I am not talking to you till you teach me the trick behind writing such perfect drabbles….
December 21, 2013 4:26 pm|
😆 Deal… you need to teach me to write brilliant stories! 🙂
December 12, 2013 2:05 pm|
That’s a different take on the prompt. I wish Time travelling would have been possible but then I don’t think I would want to change anything in my past 🙂
December 21, 2013 4:27 pm|
Wow! No changes at all!? How cool is that! 🙂
December 12, 2013 2:34 pm|
How nice it would be, if we could change the time back and experience those blissful moments 🙂 Salute to you Shilpa 🙂
December 21, 2013 4:28 pm|
Me too! 🙂 Thanks Sunita 😛
December 12, 2013 2:49 pm|
Great take Shilpa.. If only it was that easy to flit between past, present and future.
December 21, 2013 4:29 pm|
Aah! If only…
December 12, 2013 3:18 pm|
things would be different if time travel was possible
December 21, 2013 4:39 pm|
Very different! 😀
December 12, 2013 3:43 pm|
I like your take on the prompt! Too bad we can’t always go back in time to correct mistakes.
December 21, 2013 4:40 pm|
Glad you liked this take on this prompt! Oh yeah, wish it was a reality though 😛
December 12, 2013 4:29 pm|
You said what I always wanted to express, the past being the future. Great one, Shilpa:)
December 21, 2013 4:42 pm|
Thks Vishal 🙂
December 12, 2013 4:42 pm|
Time travel would be so much fun or confusing if you raced about too much. Loved the idea for the prompt. Nice one.
December 21, 2013 4:43 pm|
“if you raced about too much”… never thought about that!! Good thinking, Suzy 😀
December 12, 2013 8:27 pm|
wonderfully written… seriously. Just amazing. And yes, if only we could right certain moments of our past…
My take for the prompt: http://www.godyears.net/2013/12/away-from-trodden-path.html
December 21, 2013 4:44 pm|
I know!! 🙄
Thanks Roshan 🙂
December 12, 2013 8:29 pm|
If only we could go back in time…..we’d solve many of the world’s problems. Thanks for sharing, Shilpa.
December 21, 2013 4:45 pm|
That’s true, Michelle! Wish it was a reality!
December 12, 2013 9:17 pm|
Loved the play of words on the last line. The photo aptly captures the mood of the post .
December 21, 2013 4:45 pm|
Thank you Asha 🙂
December 13, 2013 12:05 am|
You are just running with this now. If this was a contest, (which I’m thankful it isn’t), it’d be yours to lose 🙂
December 21, 2013 4:46 pm|
😛
December 13, 2013 1:05 am|
travelling in time…brilliant, shilpa 🙂
December 21, 2013 4:47 pm|
Thanks Ruchira! 🙂
December 13, 2013 4:27 am|
Are life could be filled with ‘if-onlys’ if we allowed them to be – great relationship breakers too! I love how you interpreted the prompt, Shilpa.
December 21, 2013 4:51 pm|
If only we replace the ‘If Only’ with ‘I Will’…. things would be much different then. Thanks Corinne, glad you liked this attempt 🙂
December 13, 2013 10:42 am|
Awww!! It’s always hard in the beginning isn’t it?!
Loved your interpretation of the prompt! 🙂
December 21, 2013 4:52 pm|
Hmmm…. that’s true! Thanks, Pixie 🙂
December 13, 2013 10:59 am|
Hi!
Nice post! and the last line is very relevant.
‘agar’ and ‘magar’ mein hi to duniya badal jati hai!
December 21, 2013 4:53 pm|
Well said, Ankita! Loved the agar-magar… so true!
December 13, 2013 11:21 am|
Brilliant idea for the prompt ‘Travel’.
December 21, 2013 4:53 pm|
Thank you! 🙂
December 13, 2013 2:42 pm|
such a diff take Shilpa! Impressed…
December 21, 2013 4:54 pm|
Thanks Meena 🙂
December 13, 2013 7:55 pm|
We all at sometime or the other feel the craving for time travel…
December 21, 2013 4:54 pm|
You bet!! 🙂
December 15, 2013 10:07 am|
Hm a trifle difficult sometimes to leave the past for the present and vice versa . isn’t it?
December 21, 2013 4:55 pm|
Very difficult and challenging too! 😐
December 16, 2013 7:18 am|
Yes , I know we all do that, but instead of travelling through time isn’t it better to live in the present and set things right, for we are not what we were in our past and the present circumstance has nothing to do with our past, so dealing with it too would require us to be in the present?
And I don’t think we can think so easily, that all the three past, present and the future would be more or less the same. We can give our self the confidence, that in the future too if we are bombarded with problems we would deal with it accordingly in a positive manner.
December 21, 2013 4:55 pm|
You are spot on and that’s a sound piece of advice! Thanks for sharing that Rama 🙂
December 16, 2013 12:14 pm|
Alas! We are never the timekeepers, and wisdom always dawns later 🙂 How nice would it be ,if we could reset our clocks and revisit the past to mould our future !! Well written, Shilpa ji 🙂
December 21, 2013 4:57 pm|
Well said, Sreeja. The realization dawns much later and by that time too much of damage has taken place, Wish this TT happens 🙂 Thanks 🙂
December 16, 2013 3:12 pm|
It is impossible to recover the time lost..Can one go back in time?
Instead,lets look at the future and move on.
December 21, 2013 4:58 pm|
Yes, that’s the only option we have! 🙂
