The Butterfly Effect

Saw this ludicrously illogical movie today.Still it isn't exactly a big yawn,there is a kind of suspense throughout the whole movie as Ashton Kutcher,the hero repeatedly goes back to his stressful childhood days,the period when he suffers a blackout and doesn't remember what happens at that time, by simply reading his journals(diaries) and tries to alter the future and each and every time his plans go haywire and he ends up worser than what he was previously.So i too decided to to undergo a kind of butterfly effect.I looked upon my diaries,it was more like an yearly analysis,so skipped it and instead took a old copy of India Today and decided i'll open a random page and whatever is in that page will cause the butterfly effect.The page turned out to be about education at IIT's(so rib-tickling,me-IIT,isn't it?) .And this is how the altered future shapes up)-
I accepted my parents decision to try the IIT exam(previously i had a blackout at this time and don't know exactly what happened,all i know is i didn't write the exam at first) and somehow i ticked everything and cleared screening test(those days two exams-screening and main were there).Spurred by this and with lots of luck i cleared the main exam too.Then i joined IIT madras.This is where the dreams turn to nightmare(it has to be like the movie,so),i somehow couldn't withstand the pressure of studying with the best minds in country and i ended flunking every subject.I took up all the wrong habits to bust this stress,the favourite being taking a banana,throwing away the mid-section and baking the banana peels and trying to smoke the bananadine.Smoking bananas that's what the term is called.Naturally that didn't give me any high or relief.Frustrated by this i try to do a felo de se by jumping from the building after smoking my last banana,(now for some drama)unfortunately some friend of mine comes and while trying to save me falls and kills himself for which i was charged.Then i come running down take up my journal which is another India Today and try to open up another page trying to escape into another worser nightmare,something which is known as MIT(oh the chennai one)....

My butterfly effect may not be exceptional,but from what i have heard about its sequel,it must be way better than the butterfly effect2.
