Napoleon’s Incomplete Dictionary!

A part of BrainTalks (Beta).

Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools.

-Napoleon Bonaparte.

I must say, that’s a far-fetched generalisation. I just cross-checked, and every issue of Oxford got published with the term ‘impossible’, so did Collins and Merriam-Webster! These are dictionaries individuals, all across the globe, find reliable. And yes, I have one of them too. So, are we all-- fools?

Trying to take it in, in a much more spiritual sense of things, might be correct. No one in the world seems to attain all the wisdom. But he appeared to take it pretty literally, or at least, in a more philosophical sense of things. And yes, philosophy also consistently states that we are all unwise. But, it might be just me. However, fools seem a bit rude!

Let’s examine what’s specifically the enigma behind the word Impossible. Impossible means not able to occur, exist or be done. Or at least, Google says so. And Google is an honourable organisation! Now, what’s something that’s not able to occur, exist or be done? Let’s analyse!

One thing I am pretty sure about, we can’t travel at the speed of light!

Brain: But that’s if we are to relate it with present times. In the future, we might succeed in travelling at the speed of light.

Oh, alright! I will find something else. There are a lot of things that are impossible for us. Ha! We can’t travel back in time!

Brain: Seriously! The theoretical concepts of time travel are already promising enough. But with the current technological advances, time travel might be a pipedream for us. Yet, it’s certainly not impossible.

Yeah, you got that point. Maybe not time travel. How about telepathy? We all know that’s something for the movies.

Brain: You sure, though?

Telekinetics, maybe?

Brain: Nope.

Superhuman strength?

Brain: Nah!

How about finding the edge of the universe?

Brain: Who knows? We might even find another universe at the far end! Haven’t you heard about the Multiverse theories?

How about travelling forward in time?

Brain: That might be easier than going backwards.

Maybe! How about surviving a plane-jump without a parachute?

Brain: Actually, yes! There are even records of people who have done that.

Holy, what the __!

Brain: Language!

Alright, alright, how about licking your elbow?

Brain: Should I send the link to the video?

No, please don’t. You are a bit rude, you know?

*After five long minutes*

You know what? I think I found something.

Brain: Yeah, yeah, I know you did.

*Dramatic pause*

How about telling someone that I love her?

Brain: Oh, please, that’s the easiest thing to do in the entire world! Just say what you, freaking, feel! Well, I do doubt the success in your case. Let’s be honest. You are horrible!

Oh! Thanks for that! That’s encouraging!

*After another five long minutes*

You know, this might be the most long-drawn conversation that we ever had after a long time.

Brain: Uh-huh!

*Gasps*

How about hurting someone’s feelings and trying to take them back?

Brain: Well, the logical thing to do is talk to them. Now, if you mean that more literally, we have time travel behind the wraps. But I don’t think you have the capability to discover something that hard. The maximum amount of brain capacity that you have used yet is pathetic. I can see a decimal point and an infinite number of zeroes in that percentage. Should I find how many zeroes are in there?

Please don’t.

Brain: Five, six, seven, eight.

I think I said no.

Brain: Fifteen, sixteen.

Stop!

Brain: Twenty-one.

*A few moments later*

Brain: Ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine, a hundred thousand.

Are you done?

Brain: No, I don’t think I have finished the first page.

Oh my!

*Many moments later*

Brain: I never thought I would say this, but this is tiring.

Oh, thank you. I am glad that you, at least, decided to stop.

Brain: No! I haven’t. Unlike you, I am not lazy.

I think I found something.

Brain: Number of zeroes?

No. Something impossible.

*Silence*

How about unlocking the whole of your capabilities?

Brain: Oh, that might be impossible. For you, of course. I mean, even if we were to consider you, accidents can happen. You are a living example.

Are you stating that I am useless?

Brain: I thought that was only a fact.

I am going to die!

Brain: I don’t know why, but some part of mine says that’s possible.

Really?

Brain: No!

#nonfiction Yeah, it was...

Well, first of all, sorry for tagging you thrice in the same post in the same week. It was not accessible every single time! Sorry! I hope it works this time around!

After a long, long time, here we go, a brand new chapter of BrainTalks ^-^ It had been so long since I added a new chapter into this book! And some of you might have noticed that I have changed the title of this book. Um, it’s a plan that I have in mind. Too many plans, I know XD But I have changed the synopsis, as well. It’s just, I found a better idea for this project, somewhere better this idea could develop into, so, I am just giving it a go :) Not anytime soon, though. I have some other things on the table first. Got two McKenzie chapters, two chapters of Something Wrong (Yeah, I know, it still exists...) and a novel to work on! So, it might take a bit longer before I get back into this. Anyway, as always, it’s your love that keeps me going, everyone. It’s what ignited the writing interests in me in the first place itself! So, lots of love, CS ^-^

*purely for comedic purposes*

And there is a piece of happy news. I think I just finished 18 revolutions around the Sun ^-^
