2006
Aman was watching television. He was 15 years old and loved watching TV especially any programme on latest scientific issues. Then his mother called him. “Aman stop watching TV now go to the bed you have to wake up tomorrow very early. I hope you have not forgotten that your school is reopening”.
But mummy let me see this. Then I will go the bed. I promise you” prayed Aman.
“Ok! What are you watching?” asked his mother
“They are showing a transcontinental railway tunnel system. This will become functional in 2099. Then it could transport nearly 1500 peoples per trip at a speed of 6000 km/h.” explained Aman.
“Wow. But what is the use of watching this. Not you and I will be alive to see that”
“But mummy I think we could all live. Because medical is improving at such pace that till the middle of this century average life expectancy will be 120-150 years’ said Aman politely.
“Don’t just joke”
“No, I am not joking. Just see the facts. In Stone Age average life was less than 20 years, in Medieval Age it raised to 40 years, and now it is above years. So I think in the middle of the century we may live up to 120 years” said Aman.
“But still who will get the money to travel in it” said his mummy sadly.
“Don’t worry. I promise you, you will be one of the first passengers of its maiden journey” said Aman confidently.
“Ok when this will be finished sleep or you will be late for tomorrow” said mummy.
“After some time he switched off the TV and went to have dreams about the train.
2099
The dream of Aman is going to be a reality in few hours. Today world’s fastest ever train will be given green signal. Some of the special guests travelling aboard the train include Aman and his wife.
Aman now 108 years old, looks not more than 75 years old. He is one of the greatest statesmen of the world. He has worked tremendously for international peace. His efforts now guarantee earth to be NNWW (No Nuclear weapon and war) ZONE. He has also served as an Air Force fighter pilot, then as a Mayor of his hometown. He served on the post of PM of India for 20 years becoming longest serving PM of India.
Today he is happy but a fear and sadness is giving a barrier to exhibit his joy. The fear is of outbreak of war. This may occur if the Group of Developed States (G.D.S.) attacks any member of UN. The sadness is because his mother is not with him. She didn’t die of her age. But she died in a submarine accident. But still he is trying to forget all those things and want to look happy. With inauguration of the train he could also visit his grandchildren in New York.
“Are you ready for the journey?” asked Amrita his wife. Amrita is a beautiful looking woman of 107 years loves Aman very much.
Aman and Amrita were ready to leave. It will take 3 hours for a journey from Delhi to London. From there they will reach the London Central Railway Station. From there world’s fastest train will be inaugurated.
The train is named ‘Wadotrain’. The train runs on Maglev technology. Other the train the TRANS-ATLANTIC tunnel is also very marvellous creation of civil engineering. It is totally vacuumed. It took 48 hours for large engines of jumbo jets on both side of the tunnel to do this task. The tunnel is vacuumed so that train can cruise at a phenomenal speed of 6000km/h. This will take them to New York in 1 hour.
Aman was sitting in front row of the passenger’s seats in the platform where other chief guests were also sitting. One of them named Amir an influential politician and close friend of Aman. When he saw him, he moved closer towards Aman to talk.
“Aman, are you attending today’s meeting?” asked Amir.
“Yes I think so.” answered Aman
“We have got information that G.D.S. have not destroyed all of there nuclear weapons” said Amir in a very low tone.
“Yes, I have also heard that. That news is very shocking. I don’t know what to say or do. How many more meetings have to be attended before we can get rid of these nukes? But I think it won’t be over till hearts from across the globe come crossing all forbidden lines to join hands to make this earth a better place to live. We can’t get this with some ink and paper. Still I am ready to attend any meeting anywhere. If it can guarantee that today’s young generation and coming generations will not face and see what we have seen.”
“I, British PM and French President will be flying to New York in Royal Air Force One with special convoy.” then he whispers “we have got report suggesting an attack on Wado. I request you to join us. Many others leaders are also joining us.”
“Sorry, but for at least today give me a break. It was my childhood dream to ride on this train. I have some emotional attachment with it. Then it is also a symbol of international harmony. I won’t grudge dying in this train. I have done a lot. Sacrificed a lot in my life, now want to rest a bit.” He said helplessly.
“Don’t risk your life, Aman. You still can solve lots of problems” requested Amir
“I have never said no. I have said to give me a break for today. Today is very special to me. I have - we have done a lot. Let the young learn what we have in these years. They have to make this world even better. We can’t always help them like this, instead of helping……………”
“Now the moment of truth has arrived. Train will be a reality now. I request all the guests to stand and see impossible now possible.” The announcer announced.
Then the history of railway transport was shown in a colossus screen. Then at last all the dignitaries were asked to press a button placed at there sides. Then the display screen and the buttons disappeared. There was train standing in the station. A loud applause followed then. Its body was painted green and white, green for environment and white for peace. It front coach flag of all the countries were painted. In few moments whole system comes to life. All of the doors of the train open automatically. Then all of passengers boarded the train.
Then Aman said “I will meet you there if god wants me to” to Amir.
After a few minutes the train was given the same flag off as the train which left here more than 250 years ago. Then it began its journey. Everybody on the station waved there hands to the train. Announcement began inside the train about the destination latest cruising speed and time of arrival in different languages. Train’s speed is now shown on a screen in front of the coach. It was now cruising at a speed of 200km/h. Now it began to accelerate. Till now the train was moving through land tunnels. So it could not reach its maximum speed. The journey is very smooth and comfortable. It is like train is flying in the tunnel. The train was now running at over 5000km/h. It has begun the journey through the ocean. They were able to see only the fishes that were very far from the tunnel.
“Look at those places they are so beautiful just like you.” said Aman to Amrita
“But do you remember once this place was used as nuclear waste dump site. After a long battle human race have learned to respect the nature. After all we have finished our task” said Amrita
“No we haven’t.” Aman said sadly.
“What do you mean?” Amrita asked puzzled.
Aman told her everything.
Amrita’s smile faded instantly as Aman’s.
Then Amrita told Aman to look out side. “I thought it to be patrolling. But now I think it motives aren’t that good.”
“What the hell. It is a G.D.S. sub. What it is doing here? It shouldn’t be patrolling. Ooh no look at that it is going to lunch a torpedo. Oh no god”
Amrita looked outside and holds Aman’s hand tightly.
A torpedo was on its way.
Aman said to Amrita “It won’t be over till ………….”
