“It’s so unfair! ” said the boys. “We refuse to study under the new teacher.” The new Sanskrit teacher who was coming was called Kalikumar Tarkalankar. The vacation was over and the boys were returning to school by train. A naughty boy had already changed the name of the teacher and made up a rhyme called ‘The sacrifice of the Black Pumpkin’ which they were repeating aloud in chorus. At Adkhola station an elderly gentleman boarded the train. He had with him a bedroll, two or three earthen pots, their tops covered with cloth, a tin trunk and a few bundles. A rowdy boy, whom everyone called Bichkun shouted at him, “No room here, Mr. Dundle Head, go to another compartment.” The old man said, “The whole train is packed, there’s no room anywhere. I’ll sit in this corner and won’t trouble you at all.” He vacated the seat, rolled out his bed in one corner and settled down. Then he asked the boys, “Where are you going, children, and for what?” Bichkun retorted, “To perform last rites.” |

Thomas Edison was born on February 11, 1847 in Milan, Ohio. He was nicknamed “Al” at an early age. At age 11, Edison moved to Michigan where he spent the remainder of his childhood. Thomas Edison struggled at school, but learned to love reading and conducting experiments from his mother who taught him at home. At age 15, Edison became a “tramp telegrapher”, sending and receiving messages via Morse code, an electronically-conveyed alphabet using different clicks for each letter. Eventually, he worked for the Union Army as a telegrapher. Edison often entertained himself by taking things apart to see how they worked. Soon, he decided to become an inventor. In 1870, Edison moved to New York City and improved the stock ticker. He soon formed his own company that manufactured the new stock tickers. He also began working on the telegraph, and invented a version that could send four messages at once. |
