Chapter 2: The story of Time machine

When I got up I was feeling dizzy.I found myself in a room,where the floor is very hard.It is very hot inside the room.In the dim light of the bulb I can see grandpa lying beside me.I waked him up.Reena and mona were lying on the other side.Grandpa tried to wake them up.We were confused.Then we remember that Sam was missing.We started searching for sam.It was a dark room with dim light,the floor was hard,it was not a house made up of clay and mud with a grass roof as ours.It is a concrete... building. "Grandpa.....sam...sam is lying hear...come fast...."Mona screamed.Grandpa brought sam into her consiousness.Then we all sat togeather,thinking what happened and how it happened.I have a lot of questions in my mind.

Grandpa started to explain about the story of time machine....." Children this is the story of the royal clock....long time ago...there was a king named Krishnadeva.He was the king of a great kingdom named Vijayanagar.He was very wise and was very much interested in physics.He has great Scholars in his court.He used to reward them for their great knowledge.He was very kind and generous person.He used to treat his people like his children.He was intrested in new inventions around the world.He called the great scientists around the world and asked them to make an invention for him to see his future.After many years there were rumours that the invention was tested and it was succesful...but after a few days the king Vishveshwar donated all the property and walked away into the forest to lead a normal life.He thought that this invention would destroy the world and buried it deep inside the earth....my grandfather told me this story when I was a child but I taught that this was just a story....now I got to know this was not just a story...it was true.My grandfather worked as a minister near the king....Children,listen carefully!! we are travelling through time.We dont know the year which we landed in....donot tell anyone that we are travelling through time.Let this secret remain with us".

After some time the sun raise.A man came there,he was tall and good looking.He was covering his face with some blue coloured cloth and he was surprized to see us.He asked with a loud voice "Who are you?why are you hear?"My grandfather told that "we were traveling and came to rest hear at night." The man was angry and shouted"this is not a hotel to stay...this is my house which is in construction".My grandpa told"I am sorry...we could not find a hotel nearby...so we stoped hear.Please dont be angry.what is your name...?"The man replied"Raj".

My grandfather asked "can you please tell me which month is this?" Raj told that this is the month of July.Mona asked"which year is this?"Raj was confused and looked at all of us and said"2020.....july...".We were shoked to hear the answer.Raj was confused with our expression. "why are you so shocked?"We taught to explain him everything and tell him that we are travelling through the time.But grandpa dont want to share this with anyone.Raj brought some food and water for us....we ate it."What is the name of this city?"grandpa asked."This is Tellapur village..." Raj replied."What??"!we looked at each other we were shoked to hear the answer.

This is our village.But we were surprised to look.Our village was with mud roads,full of trees,agricultural land,large mountains,houses with grass roof made of mud and clay,large gardens and varandas.There used to be a large space for every house.We used to grow kitchen gardens in backyards,large verandas in front to put large rangoli paintings every morning and specially the trees of neem in every house.Then we realised that the place we are standing was my grandpas home at that time.

My grandpa shouted "who sold this land to you?"Raj replied that ... an old man named Aditya sold this land to me."We were shocked to hear that.Because Aditya is the name of my grandfather.He is very fond of this house.Why would he sell this house?! My grandpa was very upset to see the condition of his house.My grandpa thanked Raj for the food and shelter and we all started to move from there.

After some time we sat under a tree.My grandpa took the watch and looked into it for some time and said"children! listen to me carefully.We have travelled through time.We were in the year 1990 and this is the year 2020 which means we have travelled 30 years into future.When Mona pressed the botton of this clock one hand was on 10 which indicates number of days and another arrow was on 30 which indicates number of years we travel.There are two buttons hear,one of them will take us to future and one to the past.As the arrow was placed on 10 we have to stay hear for 10 days and then only we can use this clock again.Until then it will never work.And if we loose this watch we shall remain hear forever.And make sure that this remains a secret.If this secret is revealed to anyone then they will travel with time along with us.So we should be very careful with this."

We again started to walk.The roads were large made of thar.Every house has a two wheeler motor bikes and some cars.We were amazed to see those machines.We only has cycles in those days.Everyone are wearing blue colour masks go cover their nose and mouth.We didnt understand the reason for wearing it.The path was completely new for us.During those days there was narrow roads with thick forest beside it.People used to afraid to travel through these roads due to fear of snakes and foxes in the forest.But now these roads are wide and even provided with lights.We were amazed to see the devolopement.We sat under a roof beside the road for sometime.
