An amazing story I read somewhere.
This is a wonderful story I read somewhere. I am not the author. And I do not know who the author is. Would like to read more of his works if I come across them.
Kaalchakra bar
1975 Jan 1
It was about five in the morning. Father (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, Father 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, Father 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. During the pregnancy, the girl becomes unconcious, so to get help, Father uses a Time Machine to go 5 years in the future. There he sees a bar called as Kalachakra, He wears a mask, goes inside and forces a bearded man with him back to 1992.
But this whole activity is too much for his old age. He gets an asthma attack, so he pleads with the bearded man to help the girl, and goes into another room to take some rest. While he is resting, the bearded guy steals the time machine, and the baby, and vanishes. Unable to bear all this, the Father commits suicide.
5 years later
Due to some serious health problems, the girl goes to see a Doctor. The doctor examines her, and says with a sad expression on his face, " Adrenalo Sytosis, a serious case of hormone imbalance ". An operation is performed in which the doctor changes the sex of the patient.
The girl is now transformed into a man. The man is very depressed because he had lost his child, his father had committed suicide, his lover had betrayed him, he had to change sex and so on. He eventually takes to drinking.
One day he sees that a new bar called ' Kaalachakra Bar ' which has opened in his locality. He goes in. He sees a bearded man to whom he relates his sad tale. The bearded man takes pity on him and tells him that he has a Time Machine and that he can use it to change his past. He accepts the gift from the bearded man. He decides to go to the past (to the year 1992) and starts the Time Machine!
1992
The man arrives with the Time Machine in the year 1992. There he meets a girl and falls in love with her. The girl gets pregnant. The man, unwilling to marry her, leaves the town. He goes to another city, earns some money and five years later comes back to the city where the girl lives. Wanting to conceal his identity, he grows a beard. He starts a bar named 'Kaalachakra Bar'. One day a man came to the bar and narrates a sorrow tale. Out of compassion, he gives the Time Machine to the man. The man starts the Time Machine and goes back to the past.
Suddenly a man wearing a mask comes into the bar. He points a gun at the bearded man. He says that he has a Time Machine and forces the bearded man into it along with himself. Taking the bearded man with him, the masked man starts the Time Machine. When they reach the past, the masked man enters a house which contains an unconscious girl, and a newborn baby. Strangely, the masked man leaves the room saying that he is very tired and wants to take some rest. Sensing that the masked man might be psychotic, the bearded guy picks the time machine and the baby and runs away to safety. He starts the time machine and goes to the past.

Another misadventure bites the dust.
Time: 9 PM.
Place: Railway station of Bangalore.
Reason for being there: To catch a train. (I don’t mean we were playing running catching with the train. To put in a better term, to board a train)
Reason for catching train: To attend my cousin’s wedding in a place elsewhere.
Reason for my cousin getting married: Because he had found a suitable bride.
Reason for………….. Aaaahhhh I guess enough of this crappy background information, which is not at all needed.
Now coming back to my story (Misadventure more like), I was in the railway station with a whole bunch of my relatives. We were walking in smaller groups towards platform number 9(I guess). Anyways, to hell with the platform number. I was walking with a few of my cousins and we were about to cross the track of platform number 8.
A train stood still on the platform we were crossing. Suddenly my cousin stopped and clicked a picture of the train. Then he said to me, “Have you ever clicked a photo standing in front of a train?” I looked at him and said, “Why don’t you stand there? I will take a pic of you.”
He said, “Naah, I prefer clicking pictures to getting them clicked.” And so, it so happened that finally I stood right in front of the train engine, less than a foot away from it in the front. I had stood there barely half a minute and the people on the platform and in the train started yelling. We wondered what was wrong. And then we realized that they were yelling that the train is about to start and so I should move away.
I moved just in time. The train started moving. If I had stood there a second longer, it would have run over me. Another misadventure added to my long list of misadventures.
Once away, my cousin remarked to me, “You know that would have been the strangest accident ever.” And we both burst into laughter.
The only thing that I regret about this whole episode is that I couldn’t get the snap in front of the train. Aah what a memory it would have been.
