A SUCCESSFUL LAUNCH OF GHAURI 3
‘Pakistan has successfully launched a land to land surface missile Ghauri III. Ghauri Ballistic missile can carry both conventional and nuclear warheads up to a distance of 1300 Kilometers. It can be compared with Prithivi missile of India.’
It was the breaking news on all the channels.
EARLIER BOYS WERE MORE LUCKY
It was pleasant and calm October night. The sky was full of shining stars. Hassan and Murtaza were preparing their Mathematics exam. They were solving algebraic formulae when Hassan’s mother turns the volume of TV higher. Her favorite drama had been started.
‘Mama knows tomorrow is my exam but she forgets about everything while watching drama. Already these formulas are getting on my nerves,’ Hassan was very angry and desperate.
‘Its ok, we should take some break. I am also being tired of doing LHS=RHS,’ Murtaza asked for some snacks.
Hassan went to kitchen. His mother and Zeemal aapi were busy in watching drama, they didn’t even notice him. He didn’t dare to disturb them and brought some nimko for Murtaza.
‘Earlier boys were so lucky. They used to fight most of their lives. No study, no tension. I want to be a warrior too.’ Hassan was in deep thoughts.
‘I think long travels, hard weathers and stay away from homes for a long period of times was not that easy,’ Murtaza was enjoying the snacks.
‘It is always hard to become a warrior,’ he continued.
MAMA’S PHONY LECTURES
The drama was ended and they were hoping to start their studies again, but after a while TV was louder again with the headlines music.
‘It must be Baba now; we should go to your home. Your Baba would be in his clinic,’ Hassan stood at once and looked at his cousin Murtaza. Murtaza nodded his head and came out in the lounge.
“What! You have not finished it yet. You are too slow. Do you really care that good grades in mathematics played a vital role in your total percentage. You should concentrate. You must have wasted your time……,’ Mama was back in the real world after finishing the TV drama. Her phony lecture might continue for long, without admitting her mistake but luckily Baba stopped her from talking. They all were attentive to TV then.

| PRITHVI VS GHOURI |
They came to garden. There was a way between their gardens so the families can easily come at each other’s home.
‘I wish there would be a range of missiles at my name i.e. Murtaza I II III, like a great warrior Shahabudin Ghauri,’ Murtaza wished.
RUMORS ABOUT PRITHVI'S DEATH
‘I saw Shahabudin Ghouri’s mausoleum near Jehlum when I went with Baba on his field trip. Baba told me that he was died in 1206 while crossing this area. He was a great warrior who beat and executed dominant Hindu raja Prithviraj Chohan at 1193 and actually opened the doors of Islam towards all over Indian subcontinent but there kept on spreading false rumors about his death,’ Hassan replied when they were passing by the library window.
'Rumors,'
'Like, he killed Ghouri while he was set blindfold on his arrest but how can a man kill anyone after 14 years of his death when he actually was executed the same year of his defeat? It's just false media reporting like Indian channels do today,' Hassan grinned.
'Now, I'm really eager to know truth of this myth but how...I think I'll find some material from library,' murtaza got inquisitive.
Suddenly they saw a shooting star falling towards their window and they remembered nothing. The mysterious asteroid striped its effect from earth till space time holes.

WARRIORS OF SHAHBUDIN GHOURI
It was a big field. There were soldiers everywhere. Some were fighting with swords. Some were throwing spears and many were busy in shooting with arrows. Just then they heard;
‘New Turk slaves are there. Now prepare them for the war. They are going to be the great warriors of his army.’
Murtaza and Hassan found themselves among the new slaves. Most of the slaves were very happy to be the slaves of Sultan Shahabudin Ghauri.
‘He treated all his slaves like his sons as he has no heir of his own. They are trained not only as soldiers but as good administrators too. He provides them education and good life,’ one of the slaves exclaimed with joy.
‘Shahabudin Ghauri, Turk slaves, we must be in Ghauri dynasty,’ Murtaza was trying to guess where he was?
‘You seemed right, that future scientist Zaka has again bring us to another time expedition as he took us to Nile and pyramids of 11th century in
PREPARATION OF WAR AGAINST PRITHVI
‘It is 1192 AD and you are in Ghazni (a city now in Afghanistan), capital of Ghauri dynasty. You are soldiers of Shahabudin Ghauri now. Soon he will be off to fight with Hindu Raja Prithivi Raj Chohan of Delhi and Ajmer to take his revenge and you will be with him. Now get ready for the battle,’ Zaka was around them as one of the commanders.
‘Nice to see you again, Mr. Astronaut of 24th century. Past, present and future are again working in same time frame. We are again a part of real images, which are saved in space time holes. Am I right?’ Murtaza greeted him warmly.
A BEAUTIFUL PRINCESS WANTS TO MARRY ME
‘How can we fight as warriors of Shahabudin Ghauri in 12th century, we just saw the swords in the museum. We even don’t know to hold any properly,’ Hassan looked at other corner of the field, where some men were practicing.
‘It doesn’t matter. You’ll be trained here first,’ Zaka replied calmly.
‘Are you scared?’ he looked in Hassan’s eyes.
‘No, not at all, actually I have only played with toy guns yet. I was just thinking about the experience of real battle field,’ he felt embarrassed.
‘I will learn all lion’s tactics soon,’ he got excited at once.
‘Shahabudin will get impressed of my skills and I may get any state to rule by Shahabudin in reward like Qutubudin Aibak? (a brave and loyal slave of him),’ Murtaza shook his arm in the air like a skillful warrior and turned to Zaka.
‘Or a beautiful princess wishes to marry me?’ Hassan closed his eyes to enjoy his day dream.
‘Yes, of course, many of his slaves ruled on his winning states as reward but I can’t promise of any proposal from princess,’ Zaka laughed.....
