All my life,I have been searching for a life beyond the ordinary. What if there really was a magical hogwarts, a beautiful Narnia, or a vampiric forks for any such mystical wonderland would be a great relief from my blissfully ignorant reality.The mythological monsters,witches, wizards,winged horses cum lion cum eagles,extra-terrestrial intelligent aliens,in short the world of fantasy has an addictive lure to it that sucks in all in its path like a gigantosauric vaccum cleaner...
                 When i first read Harry Potter & the Philosopher's stone,I was so taken by it that my ordinary mundane existence seemed so boring.I got so lost in the world of Hogwarts that for a brief moment of wishfulness,I wanted to be Harry Potter.Infact Ron,Hermione,Neville, for that matter even Lord Voldemort,a.k.a You.Know.Who would have made a good choice of life for me.I kept hoping against hope for a Hogwarts where witches and wizards are tutored to perfect their witchcraft and that one fine day, the white bearded,"mental" Professor Albus Dumbledore would knock at my door to take me to the land of  Slytherin Serpents,Gryffindor Lions,Hufflepuff badgers & Ravenclaw Eagles.iF Only..
                  if only there was a vampiric forks where an almost perfect and gorgeous,tofu(innocent animal)-tarian Cullen family lived and thrived.Where a savoury plain girl, Isabella Swan was not only the object of love and blood lust  of  greek God ,Edward Cullen but also a magnet for the other monster,Mr.8 pack abs,Jacob werewolf thus completing a love triangle.If  Only I belonged to this world,I would turn into a howling mad she werewolf and tear away all life-vampire or human,in my vicinity...
                 When I first saw Contact,the movie,Oh! my dear God.I wished ,with all my female albeit feeble powers of persuasion,to God to let there be a wormhole that opened up just for me,its sole passenger,and zoomed me away across millions and millions of light years of time to meet my very own personalized aliens.iF Only...
                 But I guess life is not so purely magical. God wanted to make it as simple as possible for us naive homosapiens.but we are a bunch of ironical fools who just love to mix it up.After all where is the fun in good ol' simplicity...
   
             If only there were talking Rat knights or friendly Minotaurs,or Unicorns.even the hissing,spitting and communicating with the world's meanest Wizard,The ghastly Nagini would make a great companion in my journey to the kingdoms of Air,Water,Fire,Earth and of course Dragon infested Spirit.
         Honestly I would'nt even  mind  being  a Pirate  Of  the  Carribean.I  mean  ,yes, I would  be  sought  after  by  the  entire  English  army and  would  probably  be  hanged  to death  if  I  were  caught, or I could  die  slaying  the  ferocious  and  slimy  cracken  or  fight  for  my  life  by  piercing  a lovelorn  Davy Jones's  heart  in  a rotten chest.Yet I would  gladly  embrace  death  as Captain  Nova  Sparrow..
                  Even a world with stuck-up asses posing as angels would be so much more digestible than it normally is.Who would'nt like knowing that there is a book of maps defining our future in the form of lines and intersections with crazy,over the top,hat bearing adjustment bureau trying to put our equally maniacal lives back on track..
            Hell I would even take on mummies if only I got the exclusive opportunity to.Sure,I would be up against beetle vomiting,eternal lover, Imhotep or the sexy stud,The Scorpion King or the Psychotic and narcissistic Chinese Emperor who could turn into a three headed dragon or a gorilla type of beast.But I,the not So simple Human(actually warrior anciente with a click on spear as my master weapon and a daredevil family (to make matters worse)would slay them all with a swish of my sword and the force of my punch,not forgetting my non existent knowledge of the Egyptian language,which would undoubtedly raise more of the creepy not so peaceful malignant walking dead.
           Sometimes I get the feeling that this world around me is just not real.And very soon my faithful band of supporters with their pill-popping ways will arise from the world of computers to save me from the matrix.And then I,Nova,the chosen one will free my fellow countrymen of Zion from the clutches of The monster machines and the trillionplicating Mr.Smith....

       If Only my life was a fantasy,for then I would be its larger than life mythical Time traveller forever flitting between zones of sheer Magic...
