I got an opportunity to meet Sunita Williams and also interviewed her as Kidsfreesouls Kids Reporter. Sunita is very impressive and soft spoken. We met for only a couple of minutes but it seemed as if we know each other since a long time. She is very friendly. Sunita has become my role model and it was a memorable meeting with her.

Here is my interview with Sunita Williams on kidsfreesouls.com - Kids Reporters.

METRO TRAINS

History about metro trains

The transportation problem in India drew the attention of city planners and also the government of India. As the population of India is massive, there had to be some way to cope up with the transportation problems. With a view to find out an alternative for these sufferings of the people of India, Dr. B. C. Roy, the chief minister of West Bengal was the first person to give the idea of building an underground railway. This foundation was first laid by Smt. Indira Gandhi, the Prime Minister of India and the construction work started in December 1973. In India, underground trains are called ‘metro’, in London they are called ‘Tubes’ and in America are known as ‘Subways’. In London, metro trains have started almost a hundred years ago.

Construction

The construction of the metro trains is very complex. Engineers have applied many new technologies in the fields of civil, electrical, signaling and telecommunication. Some engineers adopted advanced technologies in he following fields for the first time.

Needs

The metro train is a convenient way of transportation. The metro trains are super fast. They are environment friendly, financially affordable and economical. They are also attractive to the passenger.

Advantages

There are many advantages of the metro trains. They carry the same number of people as much as 25 private cars do. They are reliable, safe and comfortable. They reduce the traveling time by 50 to 75% as compared to road. It decreases the noise levels and is eco-friendly. It is also energy efficient. So it is recommended to travel in metro trains.

THE WITTY COMPETITION

Once a king had announced that whoever could bring a thing which could neither be wet nor be burnt, will be awarded a prize of five hundred gold coins. Everybody was talking about this competition. At the day of competition every inch of the court was filled with people. Then a boats man presented a lotus which could never be wet but it could be burnt. A sculptor brought a stone statue but it could get wet. After that many people come but no one succeeded. At last a youth came and said that he did not have anything but he was making it in front of everybody. He went in a corner where sunlight was falling. He kept the hand in such a way that the shadow would fall on the wall. This could neither get wet nor be burnt. The king was very happy and rewarded the man and also made the man his minister.
