"Once,at least once, he could have told me before having that poison to his heart's content!", kiran's voice was choked before he could even utter his words completely. He burst into tears hugging his pal, Suman, sitting beside his chair on the passage just outside a Critical Care Unit. He couldn't help crying. And how could he! Kiran,Suman and Palash were three students of physics, completing their PhD from the same institute. They were bosom buddies from school life. There are very few people who have such luck to stay as friends since early life. Their world revolves around Physics and the Physics only.
Doctor came out of that room of uncertainty and told,"Look,your friend's heart has stopped beating. We are trying to resuscitate. If pulse won't return within 5min,then nothing we can do." This message startled them both. Yes,both of them knew why Palash decided to quit. The girl's name was Tanushree. Palash loved her...loved her from the bottom of his heart and there was the irony. Tanushree left him alone. After their break-up , Palash turned into a totally different person! He became silent, he left the accompany of his old friends,started dropping out of the classes, lab work, rarely uttered a word when he was questioned. But no one could even sniff that he was going to suicide!
Those were the days...yea,almost every evening,the three musketeers assembled under that age-old banyan tree in the institution campus listening to country songs , smoking weed ... But Palash was absent there too for the last few days. On that day Palash was absent as usual. But kiran and Suman thought that was just the consequences of that recent heart-break and ignored the matter. Besides,they had a presentation on the very next day. So,they didn't go to their friend's room. It was the next morning, that swerved them away when palash's father called them asked to look for Palash and asked them about his health as he received some unusual weird text messages from his son in the midnight! Kiran and Suman rushed towards their friend's room but that was too late...too late to revive their fellow gasping, searching for tinge of air for his lungs.
"Who is the relative of Palash Chanda?" The doctor shouted. They went close to their saviour in a hurry.
"I'm sorry, we couldn't save him..." The doctor was yet to complete his sentence and Suman held his collar and shouted,
"What do you mean by we can't save him! Hmm !! you,swine! Yesterday,you consoled us that he was responding to ventilator gradually and now? What happened?!"
Kiran tried to pull him away but as if Suman somehow managed to get the power of demon. Doctor's white apron was torn apart."I'll not spare you" Suman threatened the doctor . Somehow kiran managed to take him apart but Suman was still threatening the doctor by abusive language.
Time flows just like tears . The three has now become two with bubbles of grief in their minds. It was a day, at about one month after that horrible event, the two were smoking weed in the place where their closest buddy was turned into ashes.
Kiran said,"Suman,I just can't imagine that moron,that...is no more! But his memories,those golden moments we have lived together is still haunting me..."
Suman became a bit gloomy after that hospital incident. Now he suddenly asked kiran," Can't we get him back?"
Kiran-" Are you planning to execute planchette?! Do you actually believe in those craps!"
-"No,I have faith on physics only. For the last one month, I was thinking,if we can go for a time travel to the past and alert Palash not to go for relationship with that girl, Tanushree, then, perhaps, Palash would be alive! Prevention is better than cure, you know"
-"Listen, I know,now you are high on marijuana. Ya,if velocity near the velocity of light can be achieved, then, clock will run slowly, thus we may travel to future. But..but to past?! Is it possible !??"
-" Why not? Einstein-Rosen Bridge-wormhole?!"
-" Yea, but is that practically possible?"
-" Why not? Necessity is the mother of invention,there goes the maxim"
-" Well,well,don't you know about the grandfather paradox? Say,suppose,a person travels to the past and kills his own grandpa before the conception of their father or mother,which prevents the time traveller's existence. Again,if he doesn't even exist,he can't travel to the past and so his grandpa will be alive and which means he also can come to this world thereafter and thus the cycle continues..."
- " But if we could assume a state just like Schrodinger's cat in Quantum Physics .. A state both alive or dead but not simultaneously true , then perhaps we could solve the paradox .."
- " Son of a bitch !! You are Right, let's start with pen and notebook. It's a long era,chemistry has ruled upon Medicine management . But the time is not so far , the future of medicine will be decided by physics and mathematics ... "
20years.... Time can fly as this long period has gone so fast with tiresome effort of the two that they didn't even feel .. Their research has staggered the entire world. Their model,known as Suman-Chanda-Kiran model can now create a wormhole that can stay stable for 5 minutes only according to the clock of this mundane world. Through that wormhole, one can travel to a parallel universe of the past with their past-figure. But one has to return back within 5 minutes. Otherwise,wormhole may generate a black hole. This travel can change the past-incident,the effect of which can be seen when they return back to the present. The change will not only be seen in themselves but also be true for the whole universe. For example,when one returns back to the present,he can find himself in a different planet of a different galaxy with the same surrounding. The change may not be in same large scale. Whatever,everyone was waiting for the revolutionary first experiment of the model. Kiran and Suman will be the first guinea-pigs! They didn't bother about any hindrances and moved forward. They successfully travelled to the past but for an unknown reason they couldn't control the exact time of the past. They set to go back to their college life but they reached to their starting of class eleven instead. They were overwhelmed to see Palash alive.
"Hey,nerd,you are alive!" They shouted.
They had limited time to celebrate their reunion. So,they explained to palash in a nutshell as quickly as possible that he has to ignore his would-be ex-girlfriend,named Tanushree. They have to read biology more attentively, so that they can study in a medical school and then only they will be able to change the future of medicine with the help of physics and mathematics.
They came back immediately after that short conversation through the wormhole but within that period of time they failed to reach the exact present.
Suddenly,they realised that Palash was snapping his finger in front of their eyes saying,"Oh headless cunt ! You two are bowled out by two rounds of weed ?!"
Suman and Kiran, yes, it was their turn now. Their long cherished desire! They hugged Palash tightly shedding the tears of joy.
Palash said," the weed was solid,man. Transcendent effect! The real euphoria. Actually,do you know,why people don't like weed?! After being high,a man becomes totally calm and starts discussion on the universe. This inter-neuronal connection! Everyone can't tolerate,you know! The connection may be in between universes also !! "
They were laughing,after so long,so many years of their nightmares,they were "the three" again...again with an instance of magic! Kiran and Suman now realised the fact that they have turned impossible to possible! And they only knew that. Within a while,they found that they are actually post graduate trainee in a medical college where they reached to another parallel universe. They didn't reveal anything to Palash and as if casually asked him," Do you remember why we came to study in a medical school?"
Palash answered with a gentle smile in his face,"How can I forget that frivolous history! One day,you two came in my dream from future and told me not to go with relationship with some girl. Oh,sorry,I can't remember her name. And you told me the bullshit that we will create future of medicine entangling with physics and mathematics !! I can't even remember the dream clearly. But when I shared that amongst you people,you were inflated and influenced in such a way!... Then we studied like morons and cleared the Joint Entrance Examination and now, see, here we are, smoking weeds!"
Kiran and Suman were speechless. Suddenly kiran shouted," that means, dream is a hologram created in a different dimension coming from another timeline of parallel universe !!!!"
Suman was pumped up then and said," Let's start with pen and notebook again. If we can establish this matter,then both Freud and Einstein will come out from grave to salute us!"
Kiran started searching for notebook but came up with a prescription pad instead! Now it was time to rethink. The mathematical model they wanted to build on dream was lingering their soul but yet to be expressed through their pens.
Kiran asked Suman,"what happened to us! Why can't we solve mathematical problems?"
Palash again laughed out and said,"Now this is awesome! You two are doomed! Totally high! The weed is so classic and pure! From this time,we will buy from this source only. I can remember our first year in medical school. Kiran,sitting on the last bench of physiology lecture class, was trying to prove that Einthoven's law is wrong. Ma'am kicked him out of the class as he was not listening to the lecture. And can you remember,then Suman went to a senior to understand Einthoven's law. But the senior told , ' don't you know the summation? Just mug it up,kid ' . Your facial expression on that moment somehow resembles today. Oh dickheads ,you can't do maths after 7-8years of limitless mugging. Medical science of India doesn't welcome innovative thoughts. They just want a clerk who can write antibiotics and paracetamol efficiently! Don't you forget Lamarckism!"
On the next fine morning,kiran and Suman went to round in Critical Care Unit. Party-meeting was going on. A patient party was too much agitated. Perhaps he was a friend of one of the patients, told him ," You know,girl's name is Tanushree.once..at least once he could alarm me before having that poison..."
Dr.Kiran and Dr.Suman tried to save the patient but at last in vain. After the death-declaration,the party slapped on Suman's face.
Suman heard some words...those words,as if swirling from the near depth of mind,"What do you mean by we can't save?!you, swine,yesterday you told us,he was responding to ventilator and now? What?"
That slap was not on the Dr.Suman, as if it was on the face of Suman,the guy doing PhD on physics,the guy who was close friend of the dying Palash...and then Suman was drowing in a 5 minutes of déjà vu .
