STORY TELLING

A LION AND THE MOUSE

A lion was once sleeping in the jungle when a mouse started running up and down his body just for fun. This disturbed the lion’s sleep, and he woke up quite angry. He was about to eat the mouse when the mouse desperately requested the lion to set him free. “I promise you, I will be of great help to you someday if you save me.” The lion laughed at the mouse’s confidence and let him go.

One day, a few hunters came into the forest and took the lion with them. They tied him up against a tree. The lion was struggling to get out and started to whimper. Soon, the mouse walked past and noticed the lion in trouble. Quickly, he ran and gnawed on the ropes to set the lion free. Both of them sped off into the jungle.

Moral : A small act of kindness can go a long way.

SPECIAL INTRODUCTION

KALPANA CHAWLA

Kalpana Chawla was the first Indian woman to have been in space. She was an astronaut and engineer. She was chosen to be a part of the Space Shuttle Columbia team, which flew to space in 1997, as a robotic specialist.

However, in 2003, the Space Shuttle Columbia spacecraft crashed during its return to the earth. Chawla was among the crew members who died in the accident. She was married to Jean-Pierre Harrison.

Kalpana Chawla was born in Karnal, India, on March 17, 1962. On February 01, 2003, she died when the Space Shuttle Columbia crashed during its re-entry to the earth.

Kalpana studied at Punjab Engineering College, India, and graduated in 1982 with the Bachelor of Science in Aeronautical Engineer course.

She took her master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering at the University of Texas in 1984. She finished her Doctor of Philosophy degree in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Colorado in 1988.

Besides flying aerobatics and tail-wheel airplanes, Kalpana’s other interests are hiking, backpacking and reading. She received a posthumous Congressional Space Medal of Honor, the NASA Space Flight Medal, and the Distinguished Service Medal.

Kalpana, who was lovingly called Mantu by her parents, had shown extraordinary interest in flying. She was three or four years old when she first saw an airplane on their rooftop flying above their house.

Since then, her fascination with airplanes and flying became eminent. As a child, she always went with her father to a local flying club and watch planes. While in school, her teacher said that Kalpana spends her free time making paper airplanes and flying them.

Kalpana Chawla started working at NASA Ames Research Center in 1988. In 1993 Kalpana became the Vice President and Research Scientist of Overset Methods Inc. in Los Altos, California. She formed a team with other researchers to simulate moving multiple body systems.

She developed and implemented an efficient technique to perform aerodynamic optimization. Kalpana’s works are documented and being used in conferences and journals.

Her dedication to her profession has made her be recognized and earned her higher positions at NASA.

She had recorded a total of 30 days, 14 hours, and 54 minutes in space during her job at STS-87 (1997) and the ill-fated STS-107 (2003).

The life and career of Kalpana Chawla served as an inspiration to women who dream of being in space someday.

Kalpana’s legacy continues even after her death. According to Kalpana’s father, Banarasi Lal Chawla, his daughter’s only dream is for children, especially women, to not be deprived of education.

While she was earning well at NASA, she never cared for material things; instead, she would spend her money helping underprivileged kids by sending them to school.

Kalpana’s death was not in vain because several doors of opportunities have been opened for others aspiring to follow in her footsteps. She will be remembered as the first Indian woman who did not let her racial origin hinder her from setting foot in space.
