Not a Dream

We leaned forward, seeming to struggle with something affixed beneath
the boat. My friend looked startled,"We will never get out of here."
We started our adventurous journey from the coast of Kanyakumari(India),
we sailed out our steam-boat(steamer) on the sea and our destination was
one of small islands situated in Andaman and Nicobar.
The stormy weather appeared troublesome for our long journey, we lost
our way. We trapped into an angle, it was a muddy coast, looking from
behind it emerged as a rocky area but down the length of the outstretched
land it was a muddy and no man's land. My friend's face revealed the fear,
still I questioned,"Do you really doubt?"
"We have only one choice, just get down from the boat and drag it out
from here," my friend answered.
We two tried hard and pulled the boat out of the area but amidst the
dim light of the cloudy afternoon we did not go far. We landed our boat
near a reef. It adjoined a small island, my friend asked,"Let us in here."
I hesitated, stood still for a moment. Later I followed my friend.
We found some mysteries there. We looked away, an evergreen forest
emerged to be near by.
We stepped into the forest and suddenly discovered some glowing
objects and it was a fireplace. Some monkey faced men were sitting
there. They observed us and their eyes looked wild suddenly. They
surrounded us,"We see Lord Rama meant for you to be here. You
are our salvation," they said.
We stood awkwardly and they kept us in their captive.
At night, they felt asleep and we remained awake tied with
some hard buckles. Both of us gazed at sky, we remained in shock.
We observed some floating elements teetering up and down but
not falling beneath. What happened then was a blur. We observed
our watch, it was stopped. We tried hard to make us free from
the knots of buckle and escaped.
"Don't you see, time is stopped here," my friend looked at his mobile.
Suddenly I discovered that time was not stopped, it was blocked
or rotating very slow in comparison with modern time.
"It is complicated, some black hole paths of upper galaxy is controlling
the surface of this land," I tried to evaluate the situation.
"I don't understand, what does astrophysics mean?"
We needed time to make understand everything. " May be due to
some friction in galaxy some elements of supernova reached on
this land. The time may be thousands years back than our time,
moreover their passage through the black hole slowed their
motion more and that is why we are in an past epic era!," I tried
to make him understand. The reason was not very much clear
to me too, I studied earlier some basic concepts of astrophysics
and the facts which we realised about this era- the place was
the war-zone of some old mythological era. Thosand years
back a battle took place between Lord Rama and Lankan King
Ravana- the trees, the monkey faced humans, their weapons
witnessed that. Time did not move here since then and that was
why we faced the situation which happened thousand years back.
We were looking helpless as we hardly found any way to come
out from that area. A fear was mounting in our mind but a good
luck was waiting for us, suddenly we felt a sway beneath our feet,
a huge tide from the sea shore pulled us , our body bounced back
forty feet away on the edge of the reef. We tightly held the rocks
of the reef to avoid further displacement or deviation of our body.
Soon we heard a whistle of a big ship which took us away from
that place.
We still remember of that day, now the island is submerged under
the sea but what we faced there was not a dream.
