God, it feels good...



Still, a sher from some Shakeel Jamali ( Thanks to Indscribe for correction) showed up...

" Tum Aasmano ki Bulandiyon se  Jald Laut Aaana
Hamen Zameen ke Masyal pe Baat Karni hai..."

Ye manzilen !! said...

Deepak: Yeah....its good for the world as well...

All Talk: Well, I disagree with Sandeep coz:
- I dont think I am qualified to second guess goals and objectives of ISRO.
- For me this successful landing represents coming of age of India. It is equal to Obama geting in the White House as not a drastic change will occur but it will boost morales of jebronis like me!

Not to mention the bragging rights this moon walk has given me in my friends circle here...

All Talk and No Action said...

@All Talk: Yeah, now I get dates easily since we made it to the moon.

Jebroni: God willing, I hope to define it before they put me 6 feet under. Keep in touch n you will find out...

@Indscribe: I think he has done 50% of the work by breaking the glass ceiling. He has his hands full with the economy. I dont expect much fun fare his first term.....phir bhi it is going to be a fun ride...

Thanks for correcting sher...

@Ansar saab: This was the cheapest launch worth 386 CR. So considering the small tab, its good for morale boosting in this hate filled environment...nahi?
