Sameer Lal, flying his "Udan Tashtari" (flying saucer)

Dear friends, greetings, fellow bloggers!

Humankind has had the habit of peeking into other people's homes since the very dawn of civilisation. Once we advanced in science, our planet's own scientists began peeking into other planets in just the same way. And true to the saying "as the branch, so the leaf," the residents of other planets — the ones we call aliens — have, from time to time, taken to touring our planet aboard their own flying saucers.

One day, just such a flying saucer landed on Earth, right where two Hindi bloggers happened to be out for a stroll. As a few aliens stepped out of the UFO to survey the planet, the two bloggers offered them a bowl of halwa laced with sleeping medicine. While the poor aliens lay fast asleep, resting peacefully on Earth, the two bloggers climbed aboard the flying saucer themselves and set off to tour the whole world.

One of them, a blogger, having flown around long enough in the UFO, eventually landed at Nukkad to hold court there. The other blogger is, to this day, still soaring here and there aboard the flying saucer. And that, dear reader, is exactly who we're talking about — Sameer Lal ji, better known by his blog's name, "Udan Tashtari" (Flying Saucer).
