Chandrayaan off to space -- what it is to India??

Finally Chandrayaan took off to moon, the place humans landed some 50 years ago and we are sending a box (ofcourse with some equipments inside) with our national flag now.. But it's never too late.. and it is a great achievement. Only few countries in this world were able to do that. But this is just my feeling. It is not always about us and it is about how people around the world looks at India.

After reading ezhil's blog, I started to see what international audience think about india. When i say international i have two countries in my mind, USA and China. So i started to read few news channel sites in USA and CCTV english of china.

Comments in ABC news are interesting. People having mixed feeling towards india.
CCTV doesn't even mention about this event, instead there is a news about a bomb blast in India!!

We have sent a satellite to moon after 50 years humans landed there. So what is good about it? Does ISRO work the same way like any other government organization works? But sending a satellite to moon shows what a nation is capable of. So I personally feel happy about this. But sending this satellite, are we going to salvage millions of poor Indian citizens? the answer is straight no.. are we going to find something new about moon.. again the answer is straight no.. but it does serves a purpose. By sending satellite to space, we prove our capability in rocket science and space business is a lucrative business. Countries earn tons for carrying other countries' satellite, which cannot afford it's own launch vehicle.

Chandrayaan is good sign of India's progress and i am happy about it..

The rainbow day!!!



Today climate in bangalore is amazing.. After long days of sun and no rain (yes even in bangalore!) clouds have opened up today, unfortunately today some cricket match is going on in bangalore and who bothers! Friday, we usually get free fruits from cisco. So as usual we went to the cafeteria to get some fruits. Some cricket match was going on, so i have to sit there with my friends watching cricket :( for few minutes.. And it started to breeze outside and few minutes later it started to drizzle. So i have to pull my friends to go out to get some fresh air. so we all went out and we are standing on the 8th floor of our building. The same floor we go everyday looked more beautiful. The wind became so strong, that it dashed couple of chairs. A plate with noodles was blown away :)


And we saw a beautiful rainbow on the sky. It is looked so amazing. We spent some time there till it started to rain and now I am back on my seat writing this blog :) and planning for this week end.. (loads of movie to see and this is what i am doing for my toefl! LOL!!)

Google @ 2001

For google's 10th anniversary, engineers at google have given us a time machine, which let us search the web as it was in 2001.. They have just put back the oldest web index they have. Whatever you try to search, google will search the web as it was in 2001 :)

So searching iPod, iPhone will give you strange results :)

Try it out here

Have Fun!!
