Synopsis

Introduction :-

To introduce me, myself is an ex-student from I. I. T., Kharagpur & thus story writing is neither my passion nor my profession. Instead my profession is Mechanical Engineering and for that have so far worked & travelled in addition to India, to & thru’ many countries in the Western World as well as USA too.

However after my marriage, when my son was born and started growing up, it was he who insisted me for telling stories. This is how it started, in order to answer his request. The first story that was told to him, in the name of “Mission Impossible – Hawaii” was incidentally published too, kind courtesy M/s Story Mirror of Mumbai recently. They in fact are again kind enough to have decided to publish another story from me, entitled “Mission Impossible – Ranchi”.  

Afterwards, over thirty years later, it was my grand-daughter, who lives abroad with her father, i.e., my younger son in USA, recently came to Mumbai for holidays with us. She is just a sweet teen little girl and she is insisting me to tell her a story that is somewhat suitable and palatable for teenagers & youngsters. So thought of it a bit and thus started an extempore story telling for answering her desire. In fact after she had left, whatever is possible for me to remember or recollect, compiled this story too. So please remember, this is just an imaginary Utopian story as requested by my little granddaughter   

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE – UTOPIA.

SYNOPSIS :-  Our present story deals with the outskirts of the famous and large Whipsnade Zoo Garden. This is located near the town of Dunstable in the district of Bedfordshire in England. The actual venue of the story deals with the children’s playground and the associated garden next to it, attached to the Staff Quarters of this Zoo Garden. This is the month of July in the year 2005. Ringleader Dr. Stuart McKenzie and Ms Maureen Abel. They have three daughters. Their names are Tina, a teen-age girl, then it is Rina, a girl of eleven and the youngest of the lot is Mina, a girl of eight. Tina and Mina are too good little girls and obeyed that in to to. However, Rina is somewhat different type of a girl.

Rina was far too imaginative and she kept on dreaming so many interesting & Utopian ideas too often. One afternoon, after a little drizzle, while all of them were playing in the garden Rina slipped and fell unconscious. She dreamt Sir Isaac Newton, of whom she read a few days ago, had come. He gave a her some magic apples, by nibbling which she could become temporarily invisible and can fly anywhere she desires. She did experiment it and flew across the high Zoo fencing wall and noticed that all the animals have assembled at an open place for some meeting, where the Chair is occupied by the Lion with two ministers, Indian Tiger & African Elephant. The main points discussed are as follows :-   


CREATION OF EARTH AND ITS RELEVANT DETAILS :-This is the Earth, where we live. Here we have main two significant items, which are essential & conducive to all the living creatures. These two are air and water, as these are the most significant two items for any of the living creatures to survive. As far as we have gathered so far, that no other planets in the celestial system have any of such quantum air and water & thus no life can exist or survive there too. Our earth is only the living planet.Concept of :- Theory of organic evolution was discussed also,  - SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST.Where did we get the first animals, including the common ancestor of all animals today – Please note that evolved in the sea over half a billion years ago. Then came the Era of dinosaurs - What were these massive animals ? What happened to these dinosaurs !Imagine if all of Earth time from the very beginning of the era of dinosaurs to today were compressed into 365 days (one calendar year), let us imagine for the sake of an argument, then it is interesting to note dinosaurs had appeared around January 1 and became extinct the third week of September. Using the same scale, human people (Homo sapiens) have been on earth only since December 31 (New Year’s Eve). Too interesting ! Isn’t it !The next interesting creature on earth, we would like to discuss is, cockroaches.Let us examine, when did the humans (also called as Homo Sapiens) appear on the surface of the earth !If we are presenting the total History of Earth in an imaginary 24-hour clock, then it is, humans have arrived at 77 seconds before the 24 hour ends here.They also discussed of Epic story of Adam & Eve.Of the top 10 things, what is it, which is making the humans so special. The answer is Fire  :- The last and the most significant item of the lot is fire. Humans' ability to control fire brought a difference of day to night, helping their ancestors to see in an otherwise dark world and keep nocturnal predators at bay. The warmth of the flames also helped the humans to stay warm in the cold weather. And of course it gave the humans facility for cooking, which some researchers suggest influenced human evolution — cooked foods are easier to chew and digest, perhaps contributing to reductions in human tooth and gut size. There is evidence that humans used fire as far back as 1 million years ago, although archaeological evidence shows it became more widespread first in Africa, Asia, Europe and the Middle East about 400,000 years ago. Also in the last item, is that they can Control the Fire :- In fact the humans can generate, can extinguish and can transport it to any place of their choice. Most significant of the lot is that the humans have managed to prepare a fire weapon, in front of which all animals are so helpless and tame.Since all the animals have started exclamatory sounds out of the frightening aspect of Fire, they all started reacting so loud and collectively in a frightened voice, that from the resonance effect of this far reaching sound & so much so was the overall effect, that she too started murmuring Fire, Fire, Fire, and Fire. She came back to sense. Locating the source of her voice, her sisters and later their Father came and took all of them home.
