When we hear the word train, what comes to your mind? 

lifeline of India, You know why is it so,because it is the Cheapest way of travelling,  highest employers in ind, more importantly it's legacy of Ind. 

The journey of it started by the EIC (East ind comp.) on 16th April 1853  (160 yr's ago),the first passenger train ran between Bori Bunder (Bombay) and Thane, a distance of 34 km. Indian Railways has divided in four parts. Broad gauge, Metre Gauge, Narrow gauge and Standard gauge. It's the fourth-largest railway network in the world by size, with a route length of 67,956 km , as of 31 March 2020.  71% of all the  routes are electrified as of 1 April 2020.  (🔗- https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Railways) 

Indian railways have total of 18 railways zones. Ownered by Government of India (100%). Total Number of employees 12.54 lakh (by 2020) (🔗-  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Railways) . 

 The reason of the introduction of railways in India by EIC is to ease their own transportation and faster supply of raw materials. But now we know how important it is for an individuals, so can't neglect the development of it. 

Here come the induction of BULLET TRAIN (  Shinkansen in Japanese )

What are Bullet Trains?

It is a term generally used to describe a high-speed train of speeds above 250 kmph. It's a mode of high speed transportation invented in Japan. 

Significance of The BULLET TRAIN -

Flights are the fastest way to travel, especially when your destination is across the country. 

A bullet train is recommended for traveling short distances while flights are better for long-distance travel. Bullet train trips that are below 05 hours are recommended.


🤙Mechanism of bullet train

Unlike conventional trains that use wheels, the Maglev( bullet train) is based on magnetic levitation. Electromagnets levitate the train a short distance just above the track . Once the train reaches 150 kmps, the magnetic force is strong enough to lift the train 100 milimeters (4 inches) off the ground, eliminating friction to allow for increasingly high speeds.


Nowadays there are two important player in the building of bullet train. One is JAPAN & the other is CHINA.  India’s first bullet train will run in the Mumbai and Ahmedabad high-speed rail corridor, whose construction began in September 2017. And likely to complete by the end of 2022.  It's a 508 km long high-speed rail corridor building with the help of Japan. 

The Question comes to our mind that Is ind really need bullet train network? 

Let's talk about the pros & cones in implementation of the bullet train. 

1. Finance & Technology--It's the most changeling task for country like ind. The high speed rain network ( HSR) , as it says, the devil always lies in the details. The HSR is a highly capital-intensive project.


2. Comparison of cost-- 

Constructing only 01 km of HSR will cost around 100- 149 cr. Which is 10-14 times higher than the normal ( by suresh prabhu former Railway minister in Loksabha) 

3. Convenience-- 

worst part of Indian Railways. Most of trains arrive late to its destination. Sometimes it delayed by a days and sometimes got cancelled. Think about a student point of view, when they got late in the exam due to failure of the system. So it's high time to switch to bullet train. It can saves our lots of time. 



4. Safety--           

What comes to your mind after watching this? 


This is the ground reality of the safety standards in Indian Railways. Whenever the exam is conducted in the country, the students fights a long race of life to win it, unaware of the danger. This is common for almost all the zones of railways. Due to it the chances of accident becoming higher and higher.        

5. Environment 

--In today’s global environmental scenario, any step which reduces the pollution is welcomed.The emissions of CO2 per passenger km from speed rails is way less compared to that of automobiles and aeroplanes. It emits an eighth and a fifth of emissions respectively. 

6. Economic growth-- It will help in the infrastructure development thereby advancing the economic growth and creating huge employment opportunities. 


Major challenges in the implementation


1. Land acquisition--

                                                                                                                                                                                                      


2. High fares--

3. Cost--

4. Depends on others for technology--

5. Finance--

6. 



Conclusion--
Having an alternative mode of transport ,it will decongest the roads. Also, the speed of bullet trains will save the time and boost the businesses in large cities where time is money. The distance between the towns and cities would reduce the hassle of commuting thereby helping in reducing the migration as well. Ind is the Fifth largest economy in the world and  expected to   becomes 3rd  in upcoming 20-25 yrs( expectation by IN ORG).
We have already proven our potential in space exploration. now it's time to joining the exclusive club of nations having High speed rail network(HSR) . It will bost our living standard & and by accepting it we can eliminate our dependency on other country for crude oil, which is the highest share of our import (27% of all the imports ) .

Welcome to the future--

HOPE IN DESTRUCTION

 Recently an earthquake of magnitude of  09 level had came in Nepal. It was  destructive one, due to it's magnitude. The people of the Nepal was in great loss. They lost their home,love one, money. It often in the Himalayan region due to physical orientation.  But we have to focus on the positive side of it. Because we can't control the nature's evil but we can minimize the effect of it.  By doing help to the others, spread awareness,providing medical add to the needy, making house earthquake friendly like JAPAN.  I want to share an example , japan faces Tsunamis all most every months. Once everyone were enjoying the famous festival called  Danjiri Matsuri, a harvest festival  , ut tsunamis papers like a evil. And all the entertainment became worse in a few seconds only. But now they are well aware of it because they have worked on it.  One intersting idea to reduce the effects, they we can organize a party, by gathering the people. So that t...

  Where are you dad? A 10 years old boy named juno asking this question by looking into the sky. He used to live with his dad at Florida,USA. Mr. Smith the father of the juno,  was a scientist at NASA. He had a deep intereste in space exploration.  First time in the human history NASA planned a mission of three crew members with the aim MARS ONE. The aim of finding a trace of life on Mars.  Mr. Smith Inrolled himself into it and got selected. NASA provided the necessary training to them. This mission was dived into three parts.  1. ISS ( international space Station)  2 Lander 3.  Evacuation The mission passed the first stage successfully but meet with a devastating accident the solar Strom.one of the crew members died instantly due to the excessive heat coming from the solar wind. The surviver one told the NASA that Mr. Smith saved my life. He described the situation that Mr. Saved my life but I don't know what happened with him.  So NASA called t...
