Doraemon

“Daivik, come for dinner”

“Daivik”

“Daivik”

“Daivik”

“Daivik, how many times should I call, can you come now?”

“You are watching Doraemon again. Let me find out what exactly is there in that Doraemon that you are not even hearing me ”

Nobita wants to impress Shizuka with his non-existent fishing skills and so goes to a bridge to try it out. Much to his discern, Gian and Suneo join in. The river however is small and polluted. Of course, there are no fishes. An elderly gentleman passing by tells that once upon a time, about 70 years ago, the river used to be much cleaner, there used to be a lot of fishes. Nobita and co cannot believe this. They want to check it out themselves. But how to do it? Turns out that Shizuka is researching about the city and has found a map from 70 years before. Doraemon reaches into his infinity pouch to access the fourth dimension. He pulls out the “map transporter gadget”, a device that transports you across time to the spatial co-ordinates of the said map. So Nobita et al jump into the device and are instantly transported to the same spot 70 years ago. How cool is that ! The city is much greener, the river much wider and cleaner. Oh, look, there are fishes around. They take out their fishing gear when a local boy arrives and guides them in fishing. Meanwhile Gian and Suneo discover a raft and start streaming down the river. Doraemon gets alerted. There is a big problem. The “map transporter gadget” works only within the limits of the original map. And Gian and Suneo are reaching its edge. It is a fascinating problem. They are transported back in time to a restricted spot in space, and are fast approaching its confines. Can they cross it? Will they be able to come back? Will they be sucked into a dimensionless void ? What exactly happens now? It is edge of the seat stuff. These are serious scientific problems, the solutions to which are currently accessible only to imagination. Doraemon, however, has a idea. From his infinity pouch he pulls out another gadget (a map edge extractor, or something like that!). It is a rope that traps the people at the edge of this time warp and pulls them back into safety. The friends are safe again and after catching enough fish, return back to the present.

“Appa”

“Appa”, I hear a feeble voice from a great distance. It barely registers.

“Appa”, it comes again, stronger now.

It is Daivik. He jolts me out. “Appa, how many times to call you, I’m hungry now”.

Gosh, the tables have turned! Instead of getting Daivik up for dinner, I got sucked into the Doraemon universe and Daivik had to extricate me.  

“Yes, Daivik, I’m coming”.
