What?

So what? I skipped a day. That's why I have never committed to write an article a day!

OK, if you don't have anything new to write, then what do you do... you turn to memories. One such memory here, of my beloved son...

It was March 2015, he is 4 year old. The sky was cloudy and he was thinking hard while looking out of window. Suddenly he tell me that we will fly a kite in the rains and tie the other end to metro electricity wire. So when lightning strikes the kite, metro will run on the lightning (electricity).

Wow... naturally, a father within me was proud! 

I think a little backstory is needed for you to understand many layers of fascination here!
One, he was a bit scared of lightning since childhood. So, this way he is going to get rid of lightning!
Second, we used to read him stories of scientist from a little children's book. One of the stories was of Benjamin Franklin and his famous experiment of flying a kite in a storm. The kite comes from this story.
Third, he is thrilled with trams and metros and I am more than happy to provide him with all the (unnecessary) details. The electricity comes from here.

So, while my child is dreaming to harvest natural resources (yes he was), I hoped that he wouldn't really have to worry about it as someone else would have already done it before my son comes out of collage (day dreaming cliche!)
