 I ran for my life. I had been running for several miles but the road was endless. While working on a new timer machine in the physics laboratory, I suddenly felt like I had fallen somewhere. 4-5 people were following me, but I wondered if they were really humans or some other animal, because their entire bodies were like humans but computer programming languages and codes were written on many places on their bodies. The skin of their entire bodies seemed to be embossed as if they had been tattooed. Instead of a hat, each had a crown on their head. On that diamond-studded crown were sparkling antenna sensors. I was running while wondering who those people were. My whole body was drenched in sweat and suddenly I felt someone hit me with a laser from behind, my head went numb and I fell to the ground. I was half unconscious, I could hear the man's speech but I could not understand the language properly.  ,I knew from their movements that they were going to take me somewhere, but since I had no strength in my body, I remained motionless where I was.

 I woke up after a while, the sun was shining on my eyes. My body started feeling much lighter than usual. I tried to get out of there. I reached into my pocket to make a call, but my mobile phone was gone! When I came out of there, it had just been dark. When I took out the compass from my pocket to find my way forward... I saw the biggest surprise in the world, not just in the world, but in the entire universe. According to the compass, I understood the north direction, from which I calculated the east, west and south directions, but when I looked at the rising sun, its rising direction was the west direction according to the compass!... I was confused! I was going to use a compass like the global positioning system to find the right way forward, but here the direction the sun rises is west, so it took me until noon to figure out the probability of where the sun is rising is west and where is north and south. Now the sun was overhead. But here the second surprise came to me, that is, my watch was showing the time of 4 pm. What if the watch is broken?  No, if you check, the clock is fine and the cell was installed 2 days ago, so there was no question of it ending. The sun was overhead and the time on the clock was 4! The direction of the sun's rise, the direction on my compass and the time on the clock did not match at all. From sunrise to sunset, I was counting hours to set the clock on time, but it turned out the other way around! When the day passed, the clock had passed 24 hours three times, which means a day of 72 hours! I knew that there is a 6-month day and night at the North Pole and the South Pole, but a 72-hour day?? This was amazing! I had only seen surprises and surprises there in the past one day. I wanted to get rid of myself from there, I wanted to return to my human world, so without wasting any more time, I set off on my way east, assuming the west direction.

 I was hungry and my stomach was rumbling, so I decided to do a stomach puja first. I walked forward from there and saw a magnificent divine city. My eyes literally lit up, such a magnificent city! I saw a city structure there that I had never seen even in my dreams. How did the engineers there build these houses? This question came to me. Because there was not enough space, I had seen houses built on the sea in Mumbai, but here, houses one on top of the other, and they were in the air! I felt that Newton's theory of gravity was clearly wrong here.  Most of the time, these people were aware of the technique of changing the value of "g" in the womb of the earth. Man dreamed of going from Earth to Mars and settling there, but he could not have dreamed that the value of "g" on Earth could be changed like this! Not only that, there was not a single electricity pole in the city, every house was supplied with electricity wirelessly, all this was amazing because until now I had only seen wireless internet and Bluetooth connectivity for mobile devices. But here, even electricity is wireless! I was confused, what kind of air (medium) would the protons and electrons be traveling through that these people had created here?

I went to a shop to get something to eat. When I saw the food in the shop and realized that my diet and that of these people were similar, I let out a sigh of relief! The journey of surprises did not stop there. After eating dal and roti, I went to pay. When they told me the price, but due to the language barrier, I did not understand, so they told me by making signs with their hands. Look what! 7 fingers on one hand...! I was speechless! They told me 14 rupees by making signs with their hands, 7+7, I thought this shopkeeper must have 7 fingers by accident, but everyone around him had 7 fingers on their hands.  Since I have 5 fingers on my hand, I think 5+5 is 10 rupees. I gave them 14 rupees, but I realized how far behind the science of human beings on earth is in Charles Darwin's study of evolution. There was no mention of a person with 7 fingers anywhere in the list of ancient humans Dryopithecus, Ramapithecus, Neanderthals and modern Homo sapiens. If they had hands and feet on the outside, what evolution had taken place in their brains, how different their chromosomes and genes would be from normal humans, I started thinking.

Then I realized another thing, and a surprise happened. The people running behind me came to catch me again.  There was a computer programming language, they all said together, and we arrived at a very big palace. We knew that people use cars, ships and planes to travel from one place to another, but we had never traveled on a programming language! I wondered, what kind of technology do they know that can make their own journey only on a computer programming language? And the important thing is that everyone knew this technology. Do they have such chips installed in their brains? Or have they inherited this programming language through genes? I did not understand this until the end!

 There was a key person there, probably the head of this group! When I looked at a person next to him, his eyes seemed different from the strange people there. As if he had a real CCTV installed in his eyes, he showed everyone all the footage of where I had gone and what I had eaten in the last 3 days! It was as if Sanjay was showing Dhritarashtra the war of Mahabharata and I felt like I was present in that event. But if I thought about it practically, if they know the technology to install CCTV in the eyes, then I realized that the people in this world are not ordinary.

After examining me completely, they realized that there was no threat from me, and that I was not their enemy. They respected me accordingly. They also returned my mobile phone to me and made arrangements to send me back to my world. While leaving, they gave me the special things there, but they did not give me the key to their technology, but asked me to strive to create human technology to the same extent.

 Once again, he uttered a computer programming language, what if you look! I reached the original place where I was working with the timer in my laboratory again, and I started my work again with vigor, to learn the same technology...!
