Once upon a time, there lived a fun-loving programmer who was very fond of vintage artifacts and antiques (name will be known later. Let's call him Tinker for convenience). He had a huge collection of antiques comprising gramophone records, wall clocks, jars, carpets, and needless to say, also watches. He collected a lot of them. He loved visiting antique exhibitions and he traveled to many places in search of them. Then one day, he came across an exhibition where vintage and antique watches from the late 19th century were being auctioned. He decided to participate and successfully bid for a pocketwatch complete with chain. It has a weak lume. Something was engraved under it. When observed keenly, it was "Handle with care. This side up". Those lines didn't make much sense for him. However, he was happy with his antique pocketwatch.

Argh! 100 users came here to participate earlier than me. I think I should use a Time Machine and travel in time and write something for the contest. Speaking of time machines and time traveling reminds me of my good friend. (Not Josh, another one).

Those lines didn't make much sense for him. However, he was happy getting that antique watch.

Argh! It's too late, a hundred particpants have submitted their entries before me. I think I should use a Time Machine and travel back in time and write something for the contest. Speaking of which, this reminds me of my good friend. (Not Josh, another one).

One evening, Tinker was sitting in his basement (his usual workplace, also plays Mine craft on his phone, keeps his keys and forgets) holding his pocket watch. Tinker's 4 year old kid came there jumping in joy (kids are always happy.). He came and sat in his father's lap, played He played with his father. In this process, he pulled out the pocket watch and started playing with it. Tinker was watching it. He was mindful of the caution written on it to handle with care but little one's butter fingers... the watch slipped out of his hands and fell down. Tinker was shocked. He guessed the watch would shatter into pieces given that it is a century old. BUT much to his surprise, there was not even a scratch on the watch. He picked it up on the floor. It's as good as new. He threw it down intentionally this time. No change. If keeping it safe is not handling with care, then what is!?

So, I shall borrow this time turning watch from Tinker or Shog and go back into time. Then write an answer to this question. See ya till then.
