No one can say what will happen the next moment. Yesterday I was going to my tuition in the afternoon at about 3 p.m. Road was busy. Suddenly a young by on a bicycle look a right turn. A car was coming at fast speed. It hit the boy and speed away. There was no police in the vicinity. People gathered. The boy was ’ unconscions. He was bleeding.

There was an elderly kind man in it. He took the child to the hospital. As I had seen the car that hit the boy from a close distance. I noted the number of the car.

Scientific research have confirmed the existence of life including ice sheets warm ocean of water. There would be blast off midnight and refuelling would be done for a long – journey at a permanent space station in our Moon’s orbit. It would pass by Mars-red planet, human colonies which would have already established asteriod belt. But there may be a danger of collision. There would Jupiter looming large over gas giant- red spot landing on Europa. It is a calm but extremely cold- sun, a small bright star.
