PEOPLE SPEAK: Watch out people, the invisible man cometh

When I am trying to prove my existence, being invisible for even 24 hours would perhaps make me lose my identity. So I would like to be visible at any cost and would like everyone to know my existence.

Being Mr Gaayab, I would like to be with my soul mate without letting her know that I am with her and watch all those funny activities that she does during that day. I would also check how much she loves me and remembers me during the day. I would watch her every second and also try to make her feel that someone is inside her room. As I like thrillers, I would also try to make her feel as if she is surrounded by ghosts. And at the end of the day I would reveal my secret and give her a good surprise.

Others might see it as an opportunity to probably loot a bank or rob a millionaire, but I prefer not to do so. I’d rather take this chance that would enable be to be the person I am not on other normal days. I may go to the movies or sleep the entire day with my dog (which my dad does not allow me to do). He will not be bothered in any case. For that one day, I will not be a human, I will be free of all humanly affairs.

I would do nothing, but on second thoughts I would be doing something good. For example, I will punish those people who are doing bad to others, and I will do something good for my boyfriend.

I would like to fly in Air Force 1, the plane for the president of the United States, and which is considered the worlds’ most safe place. Once in there, I would see the kind of systems to glean some ideas and knowledge, so that I am able apply the same here in my own country as I am an Engineering student.

“If wishes were horses, then beggars would ride”. Just ‘being-invisible-for-24-hours’ wish wouldn’t be enough, but with an additional wish of “unrestricted and rapid mobility”, there would be many a things that I would do. To understand the politics of our country I visit all the top leaders, Maoist supremos and the king, and try to find out what they feel. If possible, I would then divulge the truth to people. This serves my part being a Nepali citizen. On the international front, I would go to the hide-outs of terrorists and reveal their plans.

Walk naked in the streets knowing that no one will be able to see me. Invisibility is the grandest boon for a thief, why not be a thief for a day and smoke millions out of banks. Yes, that’s what I would surely do if I were invisible.

I’ll go to the palace and see and hear the king really thin-ks about the present situation in the country. Usually no one knows what’s behind his grave face, so during this one day, I’ll have plenty of ti-me to understand who he is.

If I were to be invisible for 24 hours, I would sneak into the homes of the rich people, get as much money as I, can and tuck them under the rags of poor beggars lying on the streets.

If I were to be invisible for 24 hours, I would utilise each moment wisely and for a good cause. As I am fully aware of the impact of corruption in society and national economy, I would identify people who are corrupt and execute them one by one so that my country becomes corruption-free.

If I were invisible for a day, I would go to my beloved’s apartment with some gifts like roses. I would also visit my friends. As they wouldn’t see me, I will play some naughty tricks on them.

It would be simply awesome to be invisible. If I was granted this power, I wouldn’t waste a second. I’d grab a sack, rush to a jewellry shop, fill up the sack, and if still some more jewellry was left, I’d stuff my pockets with those. I would then go into the European embassies and get the precious stamps on my passport.

If I were granted the wish to be invisible for 24 hours, I would walk bare naked through the streets.

If I were to be invisible for 24 hours, then I would go to palace and see the life stye of royal family. I think It will be great fun.
