Kaalachakra Bar!
1975 Jan 1
It was about five in the morning. He (I am not bothering with names) woke up with a start. Many years had passed since he had founded the orphanage. He had named it ' X-Orphanage ', a rather funny name. But looking back, everything about his life seemed funny now. Hearing some noise outside, He decided to have a look. A child lay there in front of the orphanage. It was a girl. Seeing her abandoned like this in the cold morning, he felt a sense of anger for the merciless being who had thrown her away like this. He took her in his arms. He would raise her like his own child.
17 Years Later
The girl had now grown up. She was now staying at a hostel. She met a man and fell in love with him. Soon she got pregnant. But the man disappeared. She was thrown out of the Hostel. Father came and took her back to the orphanage. She gave birth to a girl, but the baby was mysteriously stolen. Unable to bear all this, the Father committed suicide.
5 years later
Due to some serious health problems, the girl went to see a Doctor. The doctor having examined her, said with a sad expression on his face, "Adrenalo Sytosis', a serious case of hormone imbalance". An operation was performed in which the doctor had to change the sex of the patient. The girl was now transformed into a man. The man was very depressed because he had lost his child, his father had committed suicide, his lover had betrayed him, and he had to change sex and so on.
He eventually took to drinking.
One day he saw that a new bar called 'Kaalachakra Bar' had opened in his locality. He went in. He saw a bearded man to whom he related his sad tale. He bearded man took pity on him and told him that he had a Time Machine and that he could use it to change his past. He accepted the gift from the bearded man. He decided to go to the past (to the year 1992) and started the Time Machine.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1992
The man arrived with the Time Machine in the year 1992. There he met a girl and fell in love with her. The girl got pregnant. The man, unwilling to marry her, left the town. He went to another city, earned some money and five years later came back to the city where the girl lived. Wanting to conceal his identity, he grew a beard. He started a bar named 'Kaalachakra Bar'. One day a man came to the bar and narrated a sorrow tale. Out of compassion, he gave the Time Machine to the man. The man started the Time Machine and went back to the past.

Suddenly a man wearing a mask came into the bar. He pointed a gun at the bearded man. He said that he had a Time Machine and forced the bearded man into it along with himself. Taking the bearded man with him, the masked man started the Time Machine. When they reached the past, the masked man suddenly gave the Time Machine to the bearded man and ran away. The bearded man found himself in front of X-Orphanage. He went inside and found a woman lying there with her new born baby. It was a girl. Since the mother lay unconscious and there wasn't anyone else nearby to take care of the girl, he took the girl and started the Time Machine to go to the past.

1975 Jan 1
The bearded man arrived with the girl. Thinking that it was the best place for the child, he left her in front of X-Orphanage. He joined a college, studied hard and became a doctor. One day a woman was brought to the hospital. He examined her and found that it was a serious case of 'Adrenalo Sytosis'. He performed an operation in which he had to change her sex. One day, fed up with the complexities of modern life, he started the Time Machine and went back in time.

1968 May 12
He arrived at a time of great famine and suffering. Seeing all this, he decided to become a priest and serve the people. He started an orphanage and named it 'X-Orphanage'. Years later, he found a girl lying in front of the orphanage. He took her and brought her up like his own child. Many years later he heard that the girl was pregnant and was thrown out of the hostel. He brought her back to X-Orphanage. She gave birth to a girl and fell unconscious. The father desperately searched for help, but since there was no-one nearby to help him, he decided to bring a person back from the future. He wore a mask, took a gun for protection and started the Time Machine. He materialized in front of 'Kaalachakra Bar'. He went inside, found a bearded man and forced him to travel with him to the past.

Reaching the past, he felt very guilty about forcing the bearded man to come with him. He gave the Time Machine to the bearded man and ran away to see his daughter. When he reached there, he heard the sad news from his daughter that the baby was stolen. Unable to bear the sorrow, he committed suicide.

Answer 2

If we know one thing about time travel from watching cable, it's that given the opportunity, someone will always travel back in time change things, whether to prevent World War II, or start World War III, or save Lois Lane from an unpleasant death. Whenever this takes place, we end up with a different timeline, presumably one in which someone different decides to kill someone's parents before they're born or whatnot, which creates yet another timeline, which is wiped out by someone else's temporal shenanigans, and so on like a four-dimensional Escher painting.

How many times does this take place? It's impossible to say. As each timeline is created it's instantly replaced, and you can't get a thing done without finding out that your brother is suddenly your aunt, and rather than being a VCR repairman you're Squindar, Lord of the Under-realm. It is for measurements such as these that the word "bazillion" was created.

The only way reality can exist for more than an instant is when someone, by accident or design, changes things to create a universe where time travel is never discovered. And that, my friends, is where we are now. Time travel may be possible, but anyone who tries to discover it will fail, probably due to a misadventure of ludicrous improbability.

Answer 3

Not necessarily. The only time that could take effect would be AFTER history is changed. Before that, life as you knew it where you had to eliminate someone stays the same. Take is as a time flow that flows outside the normal way time goes.

Another possible idea is that there are different worlds where different decisions are lived out. What that means is that it's like after you kill the guy, you go to a different version of your future where he doesn't exist whereas in your own original world, he's still there.

Answer 4

Men are biologically engineered to spread their seed around and to do so quickly, i.e. reach climax as fast as possible. Get in and get out and on to pollinate the next flower. However... they (and WE) CHOOSE to commit to one partner for a lifetime. That's what makes us human. And yes, any man can cheat. And so can any woman! My sex drive is easily twice as high as my husband's. There have been times I have indeed been tempted. I love my husband deeply and he is my best friend, but when you need sex, well.... yet I made that commitment and I always have and always will be faithful. Also, if he agrees that he will be faithful and made that commitment, you can trust that he will. If he breaks it, it would be HIS choice and no fault of your own. Remember that! I don't care if the marriage is in bad shape, a cheater cheats because of something in THEM that caused them to make that choice. NOT the partner. The cheater made the choice to be unfaithful rather than fix the problem(s) in the relationship. So you continue to love your man, be the best wife you can be, and don't worry about what you read. It IS depressing! Being on this site is depressing too! It does seem as though every man screws around, no matter how much sex or how much he loves his wife. It seems that if you can't have sex for a couple days, that gives the man the 'right' to cheat. Ridiculous. I would like to have sex every day, but there's been times for various reasons that it might be a week! Ugh, but I sure am not going to cheat. Do what I do. I don't lump all men (or all women) in one category. Every individual is different. I know my man is faithful, and I am faithful, and that is ALL that matters. We are happy, so screw the rest of the world! And if he chooses to be unfaithful, he gets to live with the consequences. No excuse or reason for infidelity and no second chances in our house. Best wishes to you!

Answer 5

OK, look at it this way. If during your time travels you change one thing in the past, you change everything about the past, since the relation of that one thing you intended to change changes the relationship of everything else in existence to that one thing, so if you remember that fly you swatted at and missed, you might go back and try harded so that one event might change and result in any number of things.Perhaps you could avert a natural disaster or a multi-state killing spree. It's all about a ripple (Butterfly, even) effect. This is some serious stuff, so before you finish installing the flux capacitor in your DeLorean, do your research, and don't forget to read HG Wells and watch the time machine remake with Guy Pierce.

Answer 6

Things are as they are. Trying to go back to change one SEEMINGLY bad thing can either give "bad" or "good" results. I'd rather just leave the past alone. However, if you like you're welcome to write a book on the matter. I promise I'll pick it up off the shelf to admire the cover but I won't buy it.

Answer 7

I do. That's why you would kill them to create an alternative time-line
where they don't exist. I'm sure Hitler would be one of the first on
that list along with African slave traders.

Answer 8

you know, for me, if i would be given a chance to go back to my past i will not kill anybody. first of all i am very conscientious and God-fearing. second, my life will not be exciting w/out my foes in life. and last but not the least, i don't want to go to hell even to purgatory.

Answer 9

Yes but if you kill that person and you don't go back in time, then police will arrest you. So kill that person and flee through that time machine

Answer 10

Yeah, I understand. Whatever you do-don't drive while you are smoking. Remember-safety first.

Answer 11

I can't imagine why you waste time thinking of this stuff. You obviously need something to do.
