the actual me...

I was returning to my home after some shopping. At a three way junction, two roads lead to my place. Hmmm... Which one should I take? The one to my right is in a better condition. The one to my left is a shortcut, but it’s in a really bad state. So I decided to ride through the better one, and I was not in a hurry too. That’s when I first noticed it. I thought my eye was tricking me. But I was sure that I actually saw it.

There was another me taking the left road. How’s that possible? Maybe I just saw someone wearing same type of my dress, and riding the same model of my bike, and have a similar body language of mine. Well it could be possible. After all they say that there are 7 people like you in the world. Hmmm... or is it 9? Whatever...

I continued my riding, and after some time I forget about the other me. When I reached in front of a mobile recharging shop, I recalled that my prepaid balance is getting low. Hmmm... Should I recharge it now? I will have to make some calls when I reach home. There were 2 missed call alert in my mobile. So I stopped there to topup my prepaid balance. Then again it happened.

Another version of me continued his riding without stopping there. Aaarrrggghhh.... What the hell is this? Am I going delusional? There is no way that 2 of 7 (or is it 2 of 9...? whatever) in the like list went past me in an interval of 10 minutes. There is something freaky going on here.

Thinking of this I continued my ride. There is a national highway before my place, and I’ve cross it. When I get there, a car was coming from a right, through the highway. Should I cross the NH before the car? Well there were no other vehicles coming and the car was in a slow pace. I crossed the NH before the car. After I crossed, curiosity got the better of me. I checked the rear view mirror only to see another version of me waiting the car to pass, to cross the NH.

Holy crap... Then a whim passed to through me. Whenever I’m taking a decision am creating a new universe, in which a different version of me taking the other choice of the decision. I’m seeing those universes. Parallel universes. And I’m creating them. Or the other version of me is creating this universe in which I exist.  Wow... well in that perspective could I be god? After all I’m creating universes here, aren’t I? Is it about this, which they say like “god resides in your inside”? Hmmm... How many universes have I created this day? How many decisions did I make? And how many universes did the other versions of me would have created parallel to their universes? Wow... it’s going exponential.

To where, are my thoughts taking me? And at last when I reached my home, one question remained. Who’s the actual me?
