Why I need a Time machine??

Time machine which takes you back in time has been one of the most popular themes of many Bollywood/Hollywood movies. I seriously wish I had a Time machine to take me back to the era's of 60's and 70's.

There is something about that time which attracts me. Those times where sweet and simple and people were unpretentious,. Machines were there to assist humans and has not yet become there life.

In a stand up comedy show a comedian while doing a joke said something which is very profound and meaningful "Google has taken the charm of ignorance".
You don't know anything just google it. Its good in some way given everybody is now aware and wise. But I do agree that charm of being ignorant about so many things and putting an effort to learn them through books, interacting with people, travelling is taken away. The process has been taken away. That's why I want to travel back to that time when you learn things hard way and they stay with you forever. Now you learn easy and you forget easily.
I want to travel in that time because relationships had meaning, People still upholded traditional values and abided by societal norms. Now, the world is becoming a melting pot and very fluid and so is relationship's. Nobody has time and patience . Patience the greatest virtue is losing. Everybody seems to be in a rush to reach somewhere and that somewhere keeps getting elevated. There are no pauses in life to just relax and sit back. Those who are at vantage points and can afford to sit back and relax they don't want to.

Wish I can travel back in that time..Probably I would also get bored and would want to get my cellphone back to talk to my frns and family, my laptop to watch movies and write a blog, my ipod to play games and a colored TV to keep me company but yet I still thing its an experience worth trying if I could!!!
