If I had a time-machine...

1.  Would I want to go back and kick the ass of that ‘ass’ who kicked mine in school?
2.  Would I want to go back and tell her ‘No.’ the first time itself she asks and not let the question float around for months like before?
3.  Would I want to go back to 1^st of August 2006 and live the 4 wonderful years of my college life all over again?
4.  Would I want to go back to the end of my second year in college, not fight over that petty issue with one of my closest of buddies and spend the entire 3^rd year ‘talking’ to her this time?
5.  Would I want to go back and try explaining my other best bud why things are the way they are?
6.  Would I want to go back to my college placements season’s Conexant’s entrance test, not accidentally lift my answer sheet over my shoulder just to get a better view of the question paper and not get disqualified for ‘cheating’?
7.  Would I want to go back to the day I decided to pick McAfee over Flextronics and choose otherwise just so I can stay in Delhi (and not Bangalore) this time?
8.  Would I want to go back and not tell the pretty co-passenger (who turns out to be an air-hostess later) how to use the air-duct above her seat?
9.  Would I want to go back to the day we stared at each other for more than 10 seconds and actually say a ‘Hi’ this time?
10. Would I want to go back to 31^st December 2009, our New Year Eve’s party at Cafe Morrison and pay heed to the attention I am getting from someone?
11.  Would I want to go back to the time I started with this strange blog-post and spend my time wisely this time - maybe at building a time-machine?

Do I have answers to these questions? I do (at least I think I do) and strangely, I don’t think I would want to go back and undo anything I had done (or not done for that matter). Naah. I am not watching ‘Butterfly Effect’ right now. I just feel I have committed mistakes (and blunders, which I didn’t mention in there) and taken some smart decisions too and all this has contributed in making me who I am (pardon the cliché!!!). I haven’t had regrets before and I won’t have them now. Life’s much easier if you don’t have regrets and I like it that way.
