that she would cross the frontiers of
space. It was enough that her parents
allowed her to attend engineering
college after she graduated from
Tagore School.
2. After a Bachelor of Science
degree in aeronautical engineering,
against great opposition from her
father, she went for a master's degree
to the United States of America. She
later earned her Ph.D. in aerospace
engineering. Kalpana Chawla was the
first Indian-American woman
astronaut to blast off from the launch
pad at Cape Canaveral, Florida, and
participate in a successful mission in
space. Her family from India cheered
along with staff at the Kennedy Space

she said, "is not so much

author looked out of the

pained. He saw that

girls with their eyes
bandaged. Then, there was
the third with a crutch
watching others at play.
The author was surprised
when Miss Beam told him
that the girl with the
crutches was not lame.
Again, the girls with their
eyes bandaged were
having no trouble in their
eyes. That was an
important part of their
teaching system.
To make children
appreciate and understand
misfortune, the school
made them share in
misfortune. The children
