GARTH-EXILES

POSTING ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF FIRST 10 PAGES OF HINDI GARTH STORY निष्कासित










THE EXILES---

ON  PLANET OFIAN  the ruling leaders are fed up with unruly rebellious youth, they decide to prosecute a bunch of young men and women for disruptive activities, leader  of the youth brigade demo and his girlfriend are confronted by senator uclid who hates the young mob ,but he in his testimony instead of giving evidece against demo ,praises him and advocates that old aged ruling classes should abdicate power in favour of youth brigade ,elders realizing that senator uclid has been hoodwinked by crafty demo by lacing his drink with some herbs with psychotropic substances which have forced senator to speak out in favour of demo,become enraged and when demo laughs uproariously at their discomfiture , they decide to mete out stringent  punishment, they decide to exile the rebellious  youth by putting them in a space ship and send them out in deep space forever never to return to planet ofian to disrupt the peace ,when they are being led away after the judgment is heard ,demo assures his girlfriend jarade that he has been thinking about some scheme to escape this terrefying ordeal.
DEMO, JARADE and their gang of unruly youth are put aboard a spaceship which is a marvel of bioengineering and technology,predictably  the spaceship has been pre programmed to wander in deep space till infinite time,demo exercises his vast knowledge  and superior knowledge to get out of this jam and succeeds in altering the ship's controls so that it veers away from it's set course in vacuum of infinite deep space,and though for some heart stopping moments the ship goes out of control and rolls violently turning on it's head and after spinning like a top for sometime is eventually brought under control by demo who declares gleefully that now he will be able to steer the ship in any direction they wished.
HAPPY AT their triumph demo and his gang are gloating over their new found ability to roam about anywhere in space and thanking the old senile elders of their home planet ophian for this freedom,they happen to spot a constellation of planets and are startled to find planet earth having not only intelligent life forms but overpopulated as well and having atomic power in a rudimentary barbaric form, space craft is detected by American radars as unidentified flying object, at the same time Russians also espy on this unidentified object and failing to identify it and mistaking it as an American missile attack on soviet union,and panicking they decide to counter attack and as a nuclear powered missile is spotted by demo rushing towards their space craft he takes preemptive action ,they subject the Russian missile to a gravitational force  many fold the gravitational force of earth  ,it fails to withstand this force and explodes in space with it's nuclear warhead ,enraged at unprovoked attack demo is furious and decides to teach the impudent earth men a lesson, demo decides to put the earth out of it's orbit,
 At the time earth is shaken violently by this catastrophe Garth is on the banks of river Thames and is almost swamped by a tsunami of giant river waves.
EARTH IS thrown out of gear as it is hit by demo's anti gravity rays, spins out of control out of it's orbit, earth is hit by violent magnetic storms,torrential rains and intense heat,Garth and lumiere  meet and are worried at the floods, and glaciers melting, lumiere is asked to attend an international conference of high level scientists,they take a calculated risk by flying out to Washington, though the public is ensured by authorities that there is nothing to worry and it is just a string of natural disasters,but the scientists are concerned and in a secret meeting debate over the causes of these natural catastrophic events,soon they reach the agreement that this is connected with detection of an alien object on the radars circling in the earth's orbit and the fact revealed by russians that they had attacked the alien craft, scientists realizing eminent danger to the eath due to earth's changed orbit and threat of it's drowning due to poles changing their position resulting in melting of snow .proff lumeire is of the opinion that these events are triggered by an intelligent superior alien entity and they should try to contact these alien and for this purpose they need a volunteer and garth readily agrees to undertake this task.
garth prepares for space flight to contact the aliens from cape canned y---two astronauts are wondering who is this garth and what is so special about him compared to other astrounauts?
"maybe he is a little more courageous" they are wondering.
proff lumiere instructs garth-"you have to only make contact with these intruders and send your information to earth"
 "proff can i tell them latest baseball scores?"-garth asks jokingly
the rocket carrying garth lifts up from launch pad at cape canarval...
meanwhile garth's rocket has been spotted aboard the ofinian space craft"they have thrown something at us ..demo..should we destroy it?"
no! it seems to be unarmed ,there seems to be no radioactivity aboard ,let the anti gravity force field down and allow it to come nearer..instructs demo
"who is aboard this ship ,hope they are not morons like zoldans-"wonders zarade...
garth brings his rocket alongside ofenian craft and is amazed"it looks monstrous ,it seems it was not built so big but has grown enormously on it's own like a living thing".
" iam from planet earth.. we are friendly.." garth sends transmission to aliens
oh he is trying to communicate but we are are unable to understand him , we shall connect his message  to our inter language converter unit and try to understand his language"
DEMO-oh ..he is saying that he is a friend shall we invite him to our ship, zarade?
zarade-ok demo...but no tricks!
Earthman come out of of your ship and we will take you aboard our ship--alien ship send signals to garth 's rocketship
garth contact earth base that he has made contct with the disturber alien ship and that he is being asked to come aboard...he is instructed to send the pictures of this craft to earth and when he does so scientists at earth base are amazed-"holy cow"
now i have seen everything"...are baffled exclamations!
Garth exists from his ship and feels himself being sucked inside the alien space craft.
ofian space craft sucks garth actively and dumps him down it's midships section...Garth is exhausted.."i feel as if a
whale has swallowed me" oh he is one of those grotesque space beings!"exclaims zarade''
wait zaarde it is only his space suit .inside is a primitive creature"--says demo
"primitive... yes ..but how magnificent looking..exclaims zarade when she watches garth as he removes his space suit--"careful stranger! zarade is showing her interest in you" garth is jokingly told
"Kids who are you and what are you doing in space?"asks garth
KIDS?  let me tell you we belong to oldest civilization in galaxy-says an offended demo.
"hee... hee. demo you talk like those ancient ophinian elders. now let me do the talking.".. says zarade.
I am zarde and this here is Demo and his gang we have been left to our fate exiled in space.. informs zarade
"I am garth  and now you have to give me some answers."...
"kids do you know that you have thrown earth out of it's orbit wreaking havoc on us?"
you have only yourself to blame for it says demo your people fired a nuclear powered missile at us!
"it was done by Russians.. they are a little eccentric and short tempered"..Garth informs demo..
"now i want you to put earth back in it's orbit.
very well Garth..very well,not to worry we had our little joke ,look i have put your little planet back on it's track. see?  satisfied?demo asks garth..
on earth scientists fee another tremor and imagine the worst, but lumiere is confident that this quake will last only a few seconds  and that it means that Garth has succeeded in his mission.
Garth-- you have brought immeasurable misery and huge losses on earth because of your reckless actions! you have acted like half crazed people[says an angry garth]
Zarade--"not half mad Garth, it was only because we are so frustrated..we belong to planet ofian where old people outnumber the youngsters and they are so rigid towards any change as they are antiquated in their age old attire ,they decided to exile us when we tried to rebel against them...zarade paints a vivid picture of her planet ofian for garth

"we have been exiled inside this wanderer space ship left to our fate indefinitely as this craft can produce food materiel to keep us alive..
"this is certainly a magical craft "-says Garth , now show me how this is operated?"
garth, this space wanderer is a piece of bioengineering , it has no metallic elements, it is a living thing made of living tissues and organs,just like human body..zarde is telling Garth about the space ship..it is self sufficient for its fuel and water,it makes new matter which keeps it going...it also provides us with food and water..do you want to have a sample?
garth --no thanks ,i myself am a hybrid  botanical class...Garth responds to zarade looking sceptically at large pendulous udder like structures on one wall of the strange ship towards which zarade is pointing...
this thing is marvel of engineering..those elders n your planet offian can not be as backward as you people make out to be...says garth
zarade- truth-is ..life is very comfortable on offian ,every body is very well looked after..
Garth we want something on which we can utilize or brains  and strength..tell us shall we land on your backward planet and do something for it?asks demo..
no..thanks demo .oh! my ship has caught fire..garth suddenly exclaims catching sight of his space ship on fire from the side windows..
oh!  must have accidentally pushed the button for electromagnetic fore field..your ship is destroyed...says demo
is it true that this incident happened suddenly and accidentally? Garth questions zarade..

GARTH STORY- WEB OF DIONARA

CONTINIUING  THE ENGLISH TRASLATION OF HINDI GARTH STORY[PAGE NO. 13,14,15] OF WEB OF DIONARA [डायोनारा  का जाल ]-----


 
Web of dionara-
Page13
Garth- did you hear moya? there is no nightfall in your new planet , only endless daylight!
Moya- garth we would like that!
Garth- how do we rescue your friends from that web of [dionara]?
Moya- are you unwell?
Garth- there is somebody trying to speak inside my brain, must be bidle from earth he is trying to establish contact with me.
Waldo bidle establishes mental contact with garth across deep space---
Bidle- garth! You are silent what is happening?
Garth- bidle I am struggling against spider men and birds the size of helicopter!
Lumiere- what is he saying bidle?
Bidle- something about spider men…. Shhhh.. lumiere…. Quiet!....let me concentrate…
Spider peple, birds the size of a helicopter? Are you telling the truth?
Garth- bidle keep quit iand I will tell you more!
Garth communicates by mental telepathy with bidle across deep space-
Bidle-astonishing! Now what what would you do garth?
I will feed spider people to the birds and eat the birds myself! any more idiotic questions?
Bidle- garth has broken off contact,amzing! A planet with endless daylight!
Lumiere- bidle what would we do with that empty shell of garth’s body on the sofa? Where is garth?
Bidle-shell? Lumiere do not  irritate me ,I am busy.
Lumiere- I think you are deliberately trying to delay the return of garth’s soul in to his body!
Bidle –you are right lumiere this thing here an emty shell is useless the important thing is real garth who is wandering somewhere in space,I have exiting plans for him, think ! lumiere we can explore the galaxy via garth.
Lumiere- you make sure that you return him NOW!
Page14
Lumiere- bidle you are the only person who can return Garth to his body and I command you to do it now!
Bidle- nonsense ,what is the value of fate of a single individual compared to  lofty principles of science?
Lumiere- oh! This is murder! Bidle- then call the police and see if they believe you, no lumiere, you cannot do anything Garth is mine!
Meanwhile on a distant planet—
Moya we can not  save your friends from the web of dionara unless we cross these plain grounds-explains Garth to moya.
…..and if we do that those giant vultures in the sky are waiting for us.
Moya- but garth we had earlier crossed those plains and they did not attack us!
Garth-that time they were scared of the webs of spider creatures, therefore they let us alone!
Garth- those damned tork birds are the hurdle,if we can finish them rest of the task will become easier
Garth –sylvan what is all that commotion?
Sylvan- they are mourning, one of our men died of violet disease.
Garth- there is no sign of any thing on his body how did he die?
Sylvan-the fool ate the berries from the violet bush, they are poisonous, the death is swift and painless
Garth- sylavan, are these the violet bushes?
Sylvan- yes garth.
Garth- can we use these berries to poison the tork birds?
Sylvan – we tried that too but they don’t eat the berries.
Garth –then we should try to extract their juices by boiling them and drying the juices to get the concentrate!, sylvan believe me I think my advice will succeed .
Page-15
Garth- have the berries from violet bushes have been collected? We will  start a fire to boil them sylvan, do you have cooking utensils?
Sylvan –garth we are not uncivilized!
Garth – [watching the steaming pots]- now we will dry them and ground them to make powder .
Garth- this quantity of powder should be enough to kill whole flock of tork birds let us try this on an experimental basis.
Sylvan- garth how are we going to use this powder?
Garth- we will kill a few animals and sprinkle this on their carcasses.
Then we will tie them up with strong ropes , if torks carry them off with them we will not be able to know if the poison has worked or not?
Torks feed on dead bodies of poisoned animals tied by ropes to the ground stakes.
Under the influence of violet bushe’s poison giant birds tork lay dying.
Garth- they are all dead now it is safe for us to move out in to the open from the forests.
First phase of our plan is successful!
Now we  are ready to do battle with Dionara and his spider men,sylvan  now I need four of your strongest men and as large a quantity of olyx tree juice as you can collect.
[missing stripsb-221-226]-
Garth with the help of arboreal men conducts a raid on the spider people and with the help of olyx tree juice they manage to free the three tishian young men from the deadly web of spider king dionara,who  is helpless in the face of olyx tree juice and is massacred along with his people by Garth and his arboreal friends.
B227-moya- those three are worthless for a girl of status of a princess like me; you will have to be my husband!
Garth-moya listen to me I am from a planet called earth an I am waiting for my instructions to go back.
Mentime waldo bdle solves the problem of mushroom fungal growth threatening planet tisho-
Algol!  the fungus grows by photosynthesis in presence of sunlight, you should  cover the sun for some time.
Algol- you are right earthman I will call upon the mysterious powers of volcano so that its cloud of smoke blots out sunlight

web of dionara

continuing english translation of hindi garth story----[page no 10,11,12]-डियोनारा  का जाल



Web of dionara-
Page-10
‘i..
.i.. can not move the web is sticking to me----says one of the trapped tishian consort of princess moya
[garth! Where are they taking us? Asks a frightened princess moya.
‘Towards a huge web. Moya!-answers Garth
WEB OF DIONARA-
They are the people from the skies.. they are as ugly as the tree dwellers. they have even got feet!
Garth[thinking to himself] now I can imagine how housefly must be feeling[in this situation]
Dionara drags the tishians on his web-
Moya- garth,it is horrible!
Garth- our turn next! If only I could break this webbing!
Moya- garth these spider creature don’t stick to their own web, they must be having some kind of lubricant!
Garth- you are right moya , there is a thin oily film covering their bodies ,that raised protuberance near their neck could be the secretary gland
Garth makes a huge effort to use his great powers
Moya- there is no hope now  garth1
Garth- courage! Moya[panting] I I have almost succeeded in freeing one arm.
Garth squeezes the gland on spider creature’s neck
An oily fluid falls from the secretary gland on the neck of spider creature and falls on the chest of garth and the web quickly slips off the body of garth’
Garth -I am free moya!
Protected by secretions of spider people Garth escapes to safety from their webbings---
Dionara-[shouting]]-fools! Cut off his escape route and keep him away from the trees
They have come very close to me from behind….
I I am nearing the trees and spider people have stopped following me …I wonder why?
Garth and moya hve escaped the spiderpeople and are hiding beneath dense overhanging branches of the trees—
 Garth-We have escaped them, they will not follow us here..
Moya- why will the not?
Garth—removing the webbings from the body of moya—‘there are still enough secretions to  remove the web
Moya- uff..now our life is spared.
Garth[addressing moya after freeing her from web is being watched by tree people]-- now if we could somehow save your friends from the web of dionara.
Page -11
Moya[alarmed at looking at a wild man emerging from the trees-‘Garth look
Garth – he probably only wants to speak to us
Man-come let me take you to our camp
Garth-moya,let us go with him, at least he is human ,maybe his people will be able to help us
Garth[questioning the wild man]- shall we cross this open ground running swiftly
Wild man-no, going in the open is sure death.
Garth- but why...there are no spiders people here
Man- threat is not exclusively from them only
In the camp of arboreal tree people-
Sylvan! They have escaped from dionara
Sylvan- not many people have succeeded in doing that, how did they do it?
Garth tells sylvan- spider people’s body secretes a fluid which dissolves their webbing
Oh, we have a better way juice from olyx trees
Garth –then why you keep yourself hidden I the trees, spider people are helpless without their webs
Sylvan –reason why? Look  at that up above in the sky!
Oh god the wingspan of that bird must be at least 80 feet
‘it is called a”TORK!”’
Page-12
A wid animal comes out in to open plains---
In flash giant bird TORK  swoops down on to it and grabbing it in it’s hyge claws lifts it up in the sky…
Garth – TORK has carried it away…but why do they not attack the spider creatures?
Sylvan-diorara’s web is strong even for the bird of the size of torks
Garth- en it seems  that  this is a big mess, you keep yourself hidden it the trees to escape both from the spider creatures and these huge birds. Spider creatures keep their distance from the trees to save themselves from your weapon of olyx tree juices.
Sylvan- that is true garth.
Garth- do you want to continue living like hunted animals?
Sylvan-no Garth show us the way and we will follow you.
Moya-  Garth what will happen to my three companions caught on dionara’s web?
Sylvan- they will not die immediately.dionara doesn’t kill instantaneously. They will die a slow agonizing death.
Garth- sylvan give some olyx tree juices and I will go and free them.
Sylvan- no Garth there is death beyond the trees, torks are lying in wait out there.
Garth- we can evade tork birds by attacking the spider creatures at night.
Sylvan-night? Garth! What is night?
Garth – when the sun goes down and there is darkness everywhere!
Sylvan – but the sun never sets here!
Garth – never sets? You mean you have daylight continuously without any night fall?
“Really !is that not so everywhere else? Asks one tree man
