Chandan's father was quite worried as his only son was being expelled from school. He had received a letter from Chandan's school asking him to meet the principal. While on his way to the school he recounts the day when his son was 8 years old and holding a book on physics came to him and said," according to this equation of relativity time flows at different rates in our universe and slows down near a heavy object thus if we go near our sun will we age slower as compared to that on earth or does our feet are younger to our head as they are nearer to earth than our head?"


He took his son on his lap and said, "yes of course but how do you know that? His son replied," I just read this book from your shelf". He reached Chandan's school and went to the principal's room. The reason principal gave for expelling Chandan was that" I know you are a retired space scientist and you have inherited farmlands from your father but now govt wants children to be farmers as there is a shortage of food, we have enough scientists, engineers, and doctors. Your son is exceptional in science but the need of the hour is not theories or machines but only food which farmers like you along with your son can grow. You can file a suit but it will help you as none of the schools will admit your son against govt policy.
