Want your kid to reach USA? Plan a NASA trip
WSN Network

NEW YORK: Indian students going to the US space agency but vanishing into thin air is becoming a recurring story. Four students of a school in Hoshiarpur district’s Mahilpur village who had come to NASA headquarters vanished while they were in New York. Earlier two students of Dayanand Model School in Jalandhar — Paramjit Singh and Kunal Bhandari — had disappeared in the USA when they had visited with a group of school students with a similar mission.

All the missing seemed to have well planned their escape as their parents in India have neither complained nor did they seem particularly bothered about their wards having stayed behind in the USA. No parent has complained against the school and none has gone to the police.

As for the teacher who had accompanied some 20 students, he did complain to the cops in New York and said initially three students had disappeared and then one more went missing.

One teacher who had recently visted the US with a similar group of students chose to stay behind and got married there. Clearly, NASA is making more people disappear than it is sending to space.
