( h ) Free speaking:
Researcher: Well… India, Pakistan and other countries test
the nuclear and hydrogen bombs competitively.
Shall we talk about the effect of nuclear bombs!...
Students: Ok…
Researcher: Can you talk on ‘If nuclear war happens’….
Dafni: If nuclear war happens; all lives will be burn down by hot rays. Nothing will remain. The mud of rivers, juice of trees, blood of living-things will vapourize. Oil wells, petrol tanks, containers, fat of animals, birds, fat of human beings, trees, gas, chemicals, explosives and the rest of everything will exalt the heat. Smoke will smoke the world. Soft sand of dust will occupy the universe. There will be no water, no air. Nothing will have shape. Everything would be dust. Earth will become weightless. Every virus, bacteria, amoeba would be killed. The fire from everything will unite one flame. That flame will burn the air, earth wind and water. The heat will increase as measureless. The OZONE-layer would be ignited. The sea lives would be killed by the blue-hot rays. The fragmented ocean will be united. The ultra violet rays of sun will boil the sea. Eventually the time will end in a day. There would be no lives or sound or script to describe the effect of nuclear bombs, if nuclear war happens… Thank you…
Researcher: Very good..
Countries conduct the test of hydrogen bombs. It is 1500 times more powerful than nuclear bombs. If everything blasts what will stand at last?..

What appears to be the rarest of the rare is the finest of the fine in which many toughest of the tough was got the tough muscle power at Athens. Crores of eyes have expected the gold as Midas touch. The dream has ended in quagmire. The gold looking eyes got a silver for that India paid 100 crore. The highest power runned to reach the extreme, before the visible wisdom it slipped.
