It was a pleasant Wednesday evening and I was strolling on a deserted beach. I was just walking on the shore my feet just touching the water. Suddenly I saw a man coming towards me. He was dressed a bit unusually like a Phantom in our storybook but without a headgear and the colour of his dress was bright – light pink.

The people of Mars are well advanced in Science & Culture. As there is no air, water and food they have learnt to live without it. The specific dress which they wear is designed to absorb life energy from sunrays they get on Mars and even from the very light atmospheric surrounding that they have. It keeps them living. They can travel anywhere in the Universe without the help of any vehicle! They can travel at a speed far greater than light! They can remain unseen for us. We can see them only if they wish us to see them.

They regularly visit us without our knowing it. They have gone through the scientific progress we are at the stage long back. He said at the rate of our progress we shall reach their stage may be in another 1200 to 1500 years!

He also informed me against my query that there are many civilizations in our Galaxy as well as universe. Many of them are even more advanced than Martians. They keep visiting each other and exchanging their scientific advancement and knowledge with each other. While informing about their visits to other civilizations he, Mr. Zorm informed me that they have also visited our Sun and other stars containing civilizations! During their visits they do not get affected by the heat of the star!

On my query as to how he knows my mother tongue, he informed me that when he touches any person, whatever knowledge that person has is transferred automatically to Mr. Zorm! That is how he knows all our worldly languages as well as out worldly!!

He asked me to hold his hand when I said "Yes". He took out a round sticker like pink label (of about 30mm dia) and asked me to stick it on my forehead. I applied it on my forehead and held his hand, suddenly there was no sea in front of me. It just vanished. We were standing on the barren deserted land. He said we are on Mars now!

I was looking around to find some things but could not locate anything. So I looked at him and he smilingly gave me a jacket of the similar material of his dress. When I put on the jacket and lo!! Everything came alive. We were surrounded by a busy township. Many people were moving here and there. You could see tall multistory buildings scattered very widely. The walls of buildings were see through – as if made of glass. There were various types of animals, birds moving here and there. Lots of greenery, trees and bushes covered the whole land with beautiful flowers. I could also feel light cold breeze.

The most important part of it being I could see many people flying in the sky like birds, but with no wings. All were dressed alike. I also observed that the birds and animals had round label - stickers, either on their forehead or breast. Different size for different species. When I saw people flying, I quizzically looked at him. He asked me if I want to fly like them. Without waiting for my reply he just said, "follow me" and was in the air.

……….. into my bed! I was sitting and sweating profusely. I looked up it was 4.15 am. 11^th March 1998. It was a dream then. I realised it was a dream, but a real one!!
