Yes, finally she had made some time for herself. It was that time of the year when her grown up kids were busy at the studying table and her husband busy with late night AGM. She happily walked towards her most favorite spot, with her most favorite drink. She comfortably leaned on the railings in her balcony, looking at the children in the park. It was beautiful to see the kids play in the park from the fifth floor of her building. She noticed that one of the girls in the park, just sat on the bench, looking at all her other friends play together. She kept looking at that girl. She understood that the girl was too shy to get along with her friends. She also denied when her friends had asked her to join them for playing. She simply sat on the bench having nothing to do but to watch her friends play. Many thoughts ran in her head. It was not that she was not willing to play, it was only that she had inferiority complex. She did not know to speak in English, like all the other kids. She did not follow the fashion trends nor did she believe that she possessed special talents. She simply sat there wondering how she would lead her entire life knowing nothing. Would she ever become successful in her life? Would she be able to persuade others, in the future? Would she be able to voice out her opinions without the fear of being judged? Would she become capable enough to manage an entire family? How could so many questions run inside a tiny mind?

Suddenly she realized that she had answers to all her questions. How is that possible? With one sip of her favorite drink, she was back in time. A sip of coffee had taken her 20 years back and made her rethink all the questions she had had in her mind since childhood. Now that she had travelled and gained a lot of experience, she now had the answers to all her question. She now realized that you don’t need English to speak to everybody. You do not have to tailor yourself according to new fashion trends nor you need special talents to mingle with people. You only need CONFIDENCE!

And she had also realized, we do not need Time Machine to travel back in Time, we only need COFFEE!

Come let’s travel in Time!
