Wonders never tend to cease and this December, I was introduced to one such man made wonderment.
Lo and behold it was time to visit Bokaro Steel City. There was no plan for visiting the industry, however connections do matter and we were able to get tickets for the consecutive day. Sadly there still remains the prevalent views about women in the mechanical industry and so my mother wasn't allowed to go in. Anyways let's leave that discussion for a later time and continue on.
The journey started on bikes and well it was motocross reincarnate. The roads were truly carved out of sand as in the vegetation was effaced from the trail and that's it. Well to say it was a wonder ride would be to say nothing about it. I was truly excited after that.

Well the first stop was the office and well that was a good one. However I wouldn't bore you all with all that financial stuff.
Next we went up to the iron smelting mill and it was pretty cool unlike people will believe. However, it was actually the mill was off for that time. When it turned on, it seemed like heat from hell itself. We had to move to the control room the heat was so great. An estimate of 2000°C was given to us by those who worked there.
The beauty of the sparks though were truly something straight out of the best movie scenes about diwali.
Seeing the hot melt it is not possible to guess that it is what holds our houses together and far less conceive the same about burj khalifa. Then the melt was dropped into a kiln hoisted on a train. After it was full the train headed off.
Well so do we with the train. Hang on, there's much more to this than what I have said. Look for it on the next update.
