Thankx a lot for your reply!
The need is something like, i have the start time & end time. I should
locate the portion of the data belonging to this duration. It would be
located anywhere in that file. So, as you suggest i would re-write my
code in such a way that it would locate the data based on current file
size instead of the file modification time.

But, my doubt is, if this is the case, is it wise to depend of the file
attribute ? Will it be consistent ? Is there any other smart way to do
this ?
