The Brief Time Travel

Info

After his birthday bash, Sarthak returned to his hostel, staggeringly drunk, with no idea where his room is. Although, it was no surprise for his sober roommate, Kushal, who had to take care of all his post-drunk deeds.

"You are the best Bro in the world", he called out loudly and a bit gay, making the place look like a theatre.

"You know what? Forget Ananya! You are my soul-mate from now", he said while slowly crawling towards the bed while his roommate is trying his best to carry him.

Followed by some drunken noises, some die-hard attempts of kissing and some melodies sung in an un-melodious tone, Sarthak finally hit the bed. The trumpet-like place has finally achieved some peace. As soon as he awoke, he found a strange man holding two test tubes, wearing a white Apron, looking like a Doctor or a Scientist.

"Hey, who the hell are you? And what are you doing in my room?", outcried Sarthak in rather a frightening voice, which he tried to make it sound like demanding. The man in white Apron answered," Calm Down, I am Dr. Subodh Francewala and I am not going to hurt you." Astounded by his reply, he further enquired," Who are you? Where am I? What am I doing here exactly? Did you take out my kidney?? "his list of questions didn't seem to end. "Stop! One question at a time! I will explain everything to you. Just take a deep breath and try relaxing. You are in safe hands.

I am the chief scientist of National Institute of Time Technology. And we are dealing with many catastrophic problems here. And this is 2057. You are in Future. We have brought you here from 2015 for 2 hours because we need your help."

"What!! Is this some kind of joke? Believe me, I am not in the mood.?" Shout back Sarthak at the doctor.

The scientist showed him the proof which made him believe on Time Travel and the situation. "We are fighting with the Arabs. And you are our last hope. These are the 3 bombs we have devised that can end this war. ? replied the Doctor with a more convincing tone than before. " "But what about the present "me"? My friends must be worried sick about me! I need to go back there first. " The Doctor responded," The only way you can go back to your present state when you throw these 3 bombs at the opponents and win this war for us."

With no solutions around, he had to agree with The Doctor. "So, what do I have to do?"

Few minutes later, he found himself in the battlefield, surrounded by the Arabs. It was the most frightening moment of his life but he tried to get hold of his fear. Somehow he switched on his Patriotism and marched on to the enemy's camp.

"This is for troubling my mother land, you oil suckers", throwing the first bomb on to the tent made by the Arabs. An intense feeling of relief swept over him and his jingoism manifolded in seconds. "No more Petrol tension, no more Bure Din", throwing the second bomb at the group of soldiers. He was more overwhelmed than ever before. He was a hero. Time Travel is the best thing that has happened to him...ever. He was all set to throw off the next and the final grenade to end the war when he saw a gigantic water waves marching towards him, almost drowning him in that.

It is when he realized his roommate pouring a bottle of water and screaming at him,? Wake up you drunken scumbag, you are farting so loud that whole damn Hall-4 can hear it."

Too much alcohol and too many sci-fi movies can be embarrassing, Sarthak realized.
