It was night and tomorrow would be the journey to the project. After supper I kept talking about the journey which was going to take place. When it was now midnight when people are asleep, I stood up and prepared the tea and then poured it in a thermos.
Now it was 4:00 am when I went back to the bed to sleep for a short time but I did not wake up early.
Waking up, I folded my blanket and took it then put in the bag. I wash my face and took the tea and some snack and some I kept in the pocket. After I ran to school on reaching on the gate I found when people are ready to go because they have been waiting for the bus and the bus could not arrive.
We started walking going to the site. On the way children were happy when they saw the rocks which had been removed by the machine called caterpillar.
We call there at nine o'clock . We got it the bus is waiting for us. We entered the bus and people sat down with me I did not sit down thirst because there was some light which mark me to stand on the vehicle symbolically and senselessly like of lock at sheep that had been driven by hyena in another grass land.
I suddenly sat down, the driver started making the engine to be hot and then moved the vehicle in assure sonic speed. Every bodies' heart was bounding with joy. We first went where maps and caps are provided. After that the drive drove down to the first place which is called profile of waterway, there we saw the headrace tunnel where water flows to the power station which will produce over 60 MW of power.
There we were also saw some machines like cranes, first crane was that which can lift up to 100 tones, second one was the one which can lift up sixty five tones and the last one was that one that can lift up to 25 tones.
After that the driver turned the bus and drove up to the Thurdibuoro where we looked in the tunnel. In tunnel we saw machines are working inside jambos and we also saw how the dig a hole going down a hundred meters. We took photographs in the tunnel and even the diameter of the hole was pictured.
After that we moved out of the tunnel and entered the bus and the driver drove up to the engineer's office where we were told the benefits like provide hydropower project and water for irrigation and those were some benefit. And problem facing them was lack of money. Then after some we drank some soda. Then we entered the bus continued coming back.
On the way we were talking about what we have seen. When we arrived home at 1:00 pm. My mother asked what I saw and I told her. She wondered how that place has been built. I still remember that day upto now.
