Welome CMN ,Its heartening to see you after such an elapse of time which appeared like a millennium .
Zeashan's story is really very captivating and when a story is compact and it succeeds communicating some concrete sf/f certain 'seemingly /apparently ' absurd tricks which are in fact employed to give the story the required momentum could be overlooked.
I strongly recommend Zeashan to get this story translated in English for the perusal/evaluation of global sf fraternity.The way story conceptualize frequent use of certain toys by children of future worlds which could even alter the temporal and spatial dimensions of citizens affecting their routines is simply marvelous.
strongly recommended.

Friends,
Let me admit that it's after very long time that I have read a full story in a sitting and also commenting on it. This is partly because it's small and also I sat at internet with no definite purpose (the mechanics are fixing a new AC in my lab, story opened in correct font) but I had time.
Zeeshan jee's story is captivating. Arvind jee had commented sometime back that Zeeshan jee's stories have an element of tilism, I endorse it. But he has woven am interesting story combining tilism- like scenario and principles of Physics. There can always be debate as to whether there should be chandilliers 1000 years from now. But looked at from the point of entertainment, one may ignore it. To common sense, such situations may even seem absurd (or probably is!). How can today and a day of 1000 years ahead be there at the same i.e. Ravi and Shashi existing at the same moment.
But it was absorbing, nevertheless.
