MIDWAY: Nothing’s impossible Little did our ancestors know that one day we would be living in a world that is not flat but round. The moon was admired as God that rules the sky in the night. It was beyond their wildest imagination that one day a man named Neil Armstrong would walk on that moon. No one in the old times had imagined that someday people would be able to talk to one another from thousands of miles away. Would anyone believe if someone said that one day, we will beat the speed of sound and reach all corners of the world: The poles of the earth as well as Mount Everest. “Impossible”, unimagined, never thought of and beyond expectations: that is what the history of human civilisation reveals. Not only in terms of technology but normal human expectations. The founding fathers of Hip Hop and Rap would have never thought that in the flow of time a white person would literally rule Hip Hop. No NBA fan back in the 80s would have imagined that a day would come when a Chinese would be the tallest man in the NBA. The world would have never thought that “Made in China” would be the most common label in everything ranging from electronics to clothes. No South African cricket lover would have ever thought that their U-19 cricket team would lose to minnows Nepal, and their senior team would break records chasing the highest one-day total ever. Well, people nowadays think that all the surprises left in this world are over. But the world is full of surprises, and they keep on coming. Some are a result of good planning and human perseverance while some the result of sheer luck. What if someday a civilisation far more superior to ours finds us rather than us finding them? What if Nepal would achieve economic growth so large that everyone else would be left envying it? What if someday we wake up to see that the centre of gravity no longer exists? What if we could survive without oxygen? The answer simply impossible. What sounds impossible today can become common thing in the future. What sounds like over-ambition may turn out to be a vision of the future. Upon a closer look, the word “impossible” itself says, “I’m possible”. It would be wise for us to expect the unexpected as they say “impossible is nothing”.
