The other day I was dilly-dallying around bedtime, trying to sleep, but not succeeding. I was trying to watch a Youtube video on SAB TV which is an Indian television channel. The show was about a family of aliens who come to earth to look for their missing son who had been lost to them. Since the family is of an alien race, they do have powers which seem like super-powers to us humans and in that half drowsy frame of mind, I started thinking about super-powers. If I could get any super power what would that be and why?

I actually want multiple powers like this. The first would be the power to freeze time and turn it backwards. This is something I’ve thought about multiple times in my life. Imagine you take a decision and this then bites you back. If you had the power to turn time back, you could do that and in the process take the right decision. But then the question that begs you is what the right decision is? Will this new decision be actually the right one? Will turning time do you good than harm?

Another superpower I’ve been hoping to get, especially the days when the traffic is horrendous and the crowds in the train seem to push me inside without any effort from my side is the ability to teleport. I wish I could just imagine it and get to wherever I could go to. Just imagine the speed at which we could travel – we could travel to distant countries as weekend jaunts and traffic or jet lag would be a thing of the past!

Another one (gosh I am on a roll!!) is the ability to instantly learn anything. With this, I will know anything and everything I am interested in (and I want to know lots of things!) and good grades will be a cinch….

So what’s your superpower wish and why? I’d love to hear from you all….
