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!
Page-02
 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!
