The road not taken...

Have we ever thought how our life would have turned into if we had chosen the other road to walk on? This thought stroke my mind today, without any special occasion to think so. Yet, this thought made myself ponder through my past, and in turn made me think: If i could live in my past with all my present consciousness mind. Because i wish to change all the mistakes i have done through out my life, even though nothing was notorious. It may seem way too idiotic, but some times idiotic thoughts may saw seeds to great inventions. (Here, i thought of the epic: time machine)

How would have been the present world, if many of the so called 'World Leaders' had set their voyage through the other side of the road. Let me take the best example, my mother land INDIA. What would have India been, if there was not any East India Company? Who can predict, India would have become the most powerful nation; many time powerful than what US now is. On the other hand, just think, what would be the face of present India if our great Mahatma, Mr. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi had not cried out of his mothers womb? May be, world would have added another country to the list of "The most downtrodden Countries in the World". I can't tell these are the only possibilities, because, the way nature flips the coin is very much indistinct. We can think the other was also.

Let me take my own life into consideration. At present, I'm an MCA student in a reputed college. When i passed 12th grade in the year 2008, like every other student in my country, i had two options; i can say, i was standing in front of the road shown just like the picture above. The one was the way to engineering, and another Graduation in Science. At first, i opted for the former, but after some days, i latter chose me. Yes, that wasn't a typo, that's true. I was literally diverted from engineering and put into the stream i am in now. The another road.

 That is how nature is. We never know how the future would become. We can dream, dream and still dream for a better future than the present. We can strive hard to correct the mistakes from our past. We can build a road to our future, but future, it is actually destiny; time decides what it should be.
