Rakesh had always been the model student for his college..he was good in studies and a decent sportsperson especially in cricket where he was a decent all-rounder…
One day there was a challenge that he had to face…he had got into a fight with one guy who challenged him-in fact his team to play a best of 2 Test Matches.
His dilemma was amplified by the fact that during the course of the Test Matches in fact from Day 3 of Test Match 1 his internal exams would be commencing. He could not let that pass as he was pretty serious about his studies…nor could he manage two of them simultaneously knowing that if he played he would have to practice and that would affect his performance in the exams.
He played the Test Match but he was not performing as he would have wanted to…his mind was elsewhere…this allowed the opponents to get a hold on his team during the first 2 days of the match.
Frustrated and in despair he went to seek the help of his genius scientist uncle…who listened to his dilemma..and then asked Rakesh to undergo few tests one of them including taking a sample DNA from his body…Rakesh had no clue as to what he was up to but knowing the capabilities of his uncle he confided in him. His uncle told him not to worry and told me to get back and concentrate on my studies…I had no clue as to what he would be doing to ensure that my team obtained victory in those two Test matches which was crucial from the point of pride perspective which was at stake.
Well Rakesh’s internals went on smoothly and he managed to do well but he had no idea what was going on in the matches-was he able to come up with someone substantial to replace me or could do better than Rakesh?
Well after the matches when he came to college he was astonished to see everyone hugging and congratulating him…he was about to ask someone what happened..was it because of his marks but then someone told him..man you were a one man show against the team…we won the 2 Test Matches solely because of you man..
Then he read the headlines..Rakesh turns around with his superlative all round performance with the bat and the ball to clinch the test series for his team, his college…and when he saw his photograph he was stunned…it was him in the photo..now how was this paradox possible..he was writing his tests..and he remembers his marks distinctly so how could he have figured and played in those matches…
I rushed to my uncle whom I knew could tell me the answers to this..and when he replied I was stunned:-
“Rakesh, congrats on your clone successfully performing the feat in test matches…I made him watch the cricket videos and the clone being able to memorize everything was able to replicate the performance on field when you were busy writing the tests…I had molded his brain accordingly such that he could pick things up fast..”
There he saw sitting beside his uncle with a vacant emotionless face was Rakesh’s clone..
