Rocket Launch

Two kids from south India in 1983 launched their first rocket in the classroom but unfortunately failed. The two kids were punished. The story is really interesting if you read the following passages.

The two kids are Prem and Kiruba who are close friends studied in a school. They were more playful and creative from their childhood. One Monday morning they both were in the classroom. The teacher was taking the class. The entire classroom was silent. These two kids discussed and decided to make a paper rocket and to launch towards the roof of the classroom. They both built the rocket successfully and the rocket was ready to launch. They launched the rocket towards the classroom roof but unfortunately the rocket hit the teachers face. The two kids were caught and punished by the teacher. They were made to stand over the bench for the whole day. The creative kids were punished I don’t know why?

Now the two kids are grownup. Prem (I) has become a Business Consultant and living in UK. Kiruba (my friend) is working as a Technical Consultant and living in Seattle. Visit his blog which is really interesting.http://kirubakaran.blogspot.com

Still the parents of both the kids and other people wonder why such creative kids were punished.

Just saw this blog and I am laughing really hard, remembering all that we did da! I especially remember you giving a "letter" to one 'person' written on a small bit of paper in the 4th standard :-D
