Sneak Peek into the Future
Thinking about future is the favorite pastime of many people, esp grad students. I started thinking about people who can see future. Not their future as in career wise. But, can anyone really get a glimpse of the future. The best thing about life is its unpredicitability. It is a very intersting thing. The question is : Do you want the gift of foreseeing the future? As with all powers, this has both a good side and a bad side. You will know everything!! Sometimes, you are probably better off not knowing everything. Apparently, Chitragupta ( the accountant for lord Yama) has a book with all the vital information. Nostradamus had predicted a lot of stuff too! I don't know how much of it is true.But, i would guess he would have made a lot of good ones.Why else will people remember someone for 400-500 years? Anyways, still thinking of some cool things which one can do with that power. One thing is for sure though, even if i had that power i would have lot of trouble convincing people that i can really see the future.

Don't compare Chitragupta (fictional) with Nostradamus (real) and, there are like, thousands of reasons to remember someone 400 years later even when they were not in the business of predicting the future. This post was complete random crap. Thanks for wasting my time. I'm now 5 minutes late for minitmart.
I can see ur future Totti....u will get out first ball today at PCG, and then be thulped for 4 sixes in an over....
My knee is hurt..so i can't think straight..waiting for arbit PJs on this..from pointy and the rest!!
...I wouldn't give into a "knee-jerk" reaction to ur last comment
Agreed, that unpredictibility is the best thing in life.
However I have hypothetical question to ask. If we are able to see the future and then we find that there is nothing special we did in our life. Would we rather prefer to die today or still keep on living (lets say GOD tells you that I can tell you future but you have to make a choice after knowing your future).. comments are appreciated:))
i think knowing the future kills any motivation of living. I don't think matter if it is good/bad, the knowledge it WILL happen can be quite disturbing...
Has it happened? What you had predicted about yourself, when you were young? Hope you had achieved some of your ambitions..
