2050: THE FUTURE TIME TRAVEL TO INDIA
KZAP! “Yes! I’m finally here!” thought Mark. Mark
was your average VII grader, except that he had a
secret. He had socks. Now you might be thinking,
“What’s so special about socks?”
Well, these socks were no ordinary socks. They
were time travellers. Mark had found them on his
family’s expedition to the Moon and yes, he was
rich. So, he could afford to go to the Moon.
Well, right now Mark’s teacher was telling him
about the future. Mark became so curious about
the unknown future that he realized that he had
to find out. Mark rubbed his socks and said the
year he wanted to go to, “2050”.
In front of Mark was the most amazing and
shocking scene you could ever imagine. He saw
that there wasn’t a single future! In fact, there
were many different versions of the future. Mark
looked around in awe. He noticed that half of the
future versions were good, green and developed
but the other half were polluted with mega-
industries and only robots roaming the Earth!
Mark felt shocked and surprised. He thought,
“Could India be like this?” He was puzzled.
Then he spotted a sign, amid all the future
versions. It read- ‘You Decide Your Future’.
Suddenly it occurred to Mark and he exclaimed,
“We must save our Earth today for a better
tomorrow!” He dashed home through his socks.
He immediately told his mother all that he had
seen. She calmly replied, “Well, I guess we all have
to keep ourselves green while we develop through
the years”. Mark understood her point. So, every
day he took some time off his video games and
watered plants instead.

IN 2050
I remember, it was 27th of June, 2019. I had gone to
sleep by 8 p.m. as I felt drained. When I woke up, I
realised that I was not on my bed but in a different
place. It wasn’t my house. An alarm clock near me
showed 27th July 2050. I was shocked and went
to look outside the window. While I peeped out, I
could see huge electro-magnetic trains floating
in air, running at very high speed. As I went out, I
could see buildings which seemed taller than the
skies. The streets were filled with robots. As far
as my eye could see, there were only robots. On
walking further, a robot gave me an electro pad
newspaper. On reading it, I came to know that
India had become the most populated country.
Petrol and diesel had been exhausted long ago.
The newspaper showed hike in water prices,
one ml of water costed Rs. 1000/-. The ozone
layer was almost depleted and the Australian
continent was no more. Indians had found life on
Mars. There was no space to walk as every piece
of land was covered with buildings. Earth had
started to break as there were no more trees on
the planet. Many people migrated to Mars. Earth
was no more, blue and green, but black and red.
Suddenly, I felt a pat on my shoulder. When I
turned back, everything was blank. I tried to rub
my eyes, the next moment I was back to 27th
June, 2019. Although, it was a dream but deep
down it was terrible realization which might come
true indeed. This dream is a warning to everyone
about the future consequences of our actions.
If recovery measures aren’t taken up, then this
dream will soon be our reality.
