TIME COURIERS-
PAGE-01
AT the central sorting office of postage dispatch service to
various time-zones----
“Strange address!”
What is the problem?
“This letter has been written by somebody in the year 12763
to somebody in the year 2985, what should I do?
We cannot deliver postage to any year beyond 3000, return it
back to foolish sender!
Men should stay at home! But they want equal status![two
women talking at time courier service’s central sorting office]
Man listening in on their conversation-“we should at least
have right to vote!”
At the rest and recreation centre of central sorting office
of time couriers---
Who carries you postage
in this shift?
Guy! Who is a pain in the neck!
I have to pick a companion for home for next year,maybe I
will choose him?
Guy? He is strong but is not very bright!
“it is only a matter of one year only and who wants an intelligent man for house work?
Yes! You certainly don’t!
You have to deliver the post to the year
Ok!
It seems your helper is again late!
“ what can you expect from men?”
“hello eid, I got
delayed at the gym!
Don’t give me excuses lift the satchel of post to lift no. 3 quickly!

Eid can we go out on
a date tonight? I mean I will pay for contribution….
You think I am old fashioned , that I will make you pay for
your own bill?
Why are you acting high and mighty, now a days many men are
earning at par with women!
Post for the year 3090
“Ok get aboard”- announces the controller
“ what is the need of keep standing with that load of
satchel on your back?” Asks eid derisively…
Time travelling post vehicle is traveling swiftly eid is
taunting guy-“if you only want to show off how strong you are then it is
another matter, but otherwise you are a dim wit!
Time travel vehicle is swiftly moving through the past and
control panel is recording changing year s at a brisk pace…
Eid is busy applying makeup to her face and fighting with
guy—
Guy- if women use cosmetics to look beautiful why can’t men
go to gyms for body building?
Eid- don’t talk rubbish! Men’s place is at home and they
should stay there!
Guy- “that is not the point of debate!
You are talking about the time when men used to do house
work and women were going out to work in offices and factories!”
In the time courier vehicle
Eid- it is useless to reason with men, they always use logic
instead of inspiration!
Guy- men’s logic is sometimes proved better than women’s inspiration!
Eid- whatever! It is better that the men don’t run this
world!
Guy- I won’t accept that!
We should theat least
have right to vote . The world council has only 3 men is that justice?
Page 0busy arguing their point of view eid and guy fail to
notice the warning red light flashing on the contol panel
Guy- a few thousand years back there were many more men than
women on the council…
Eid- and how scandalous they turned out to be, anyway nobody
can even think of they having equal social status as women!
Guy- suddenly noticing the red light on control panel-“eid!,
the warning bell must have malfunctioned , we have gone back in the past.
The time courier vehicle is rapidly moving back in to
time---
Eid- let me see. We have crossed 3000 ad limit, emergency
brakes must have failed! You fool had you not distracted me in that useless
debate we would not be in this mess!
Guy-“I argued? But you are supposed to be the driver of this
vehicle… in any case only men are are supposed to be committing all the
mistakes!
Eid – if we did not bail out on parachutes quickly we will
soon reach Stone Age, hold the satchel while I press the ejection button!
Explosion without a sound and the time courier vehicle
disintegrates….
Guy- addressing eid spread-eagle d on her face---anyway we
are still on earth only whatever may be the time period!
Eid- oh !where are we and n which time segment?
Guy- don’t know but when we jumped control panel was showing
the year 1960!.. capsule must have recorded exact year , but it must have
automatically separated from the vehicle!
Eid-[holding her head]- don’t teach me I have more knowledge
than you!
