Train of Life & Insane Solutions for the Future

Train of Life

  We watched Train of life which is a tragic comedy in French. It is about a man named Schlomo who claims he has seen the Nazis in the next town and he runs to inform the others. He informs the Rabbi who holds a meeting with some others. They then try to come up with ideas to escape and Schlomo suggests they build a train. They find an old broken down train, which they fix up to deport themselves. Some of their people pretended to be Nazis who were taking them to concentration camp, but in reality they were trying to escape to Palestine through Russia.  This is how the Train of Life was born.

  They have real close encounters with the Nazis but manage to make very close escapes. They finally arrive at the frontlines between Germany and Soviet Union. Schlomo tells the us where all his companions go off to on arrival of the train in the Soviet Union. The movie ends with him smiling in prisoners clothes behind the barbed wire of a concentration camp. This leaves you wondering if his story was true or made up or if he became mad having watched all his companions exterminated in concentration camp.

Wild Imagination to help in the Future

  After watching The Train of Life we mapped out the 4^th and 5^th phase of Yelahanka and came up with insane solutions to help the blind, Physically challenged, children and elderly.  We came up with:

• ·      A flying car with a highly advanced GPS system that works on voce recognition to help the blind, physically challenged and elderly people move around.
• ·      A separate bus for the blind & handicapped which has a distinct special horn to make it recognisable.
• ·      A gadget that helps kids over come difficulties they face when using public services eg: foldable steps to climb onto a bus.
• ·      An air walk with special embossed patterns on the railings to help the blind move around especially in busy areas.
• ·      An air bubble that can hover and fly in the air as a mode of transportation for the blind, Physically challenged, children and elderly. It will be designed in such a way that it can contract, squeeze and expand through buildings and trees. It will have an advanced GPS system and it can be put on autopilot mode for the blind and handicapped people. These bubbles get launched into the air by an technologically advanced gigantic catapult.
