BBC and other foreign media reports sound as if this is India’s first moon mission. India landed in the moon in the year 2009 with Chandrayaan 1 when ISRO probe found proof of water in the lunar surface. So far three other nations too have landed only on the bright side or the easy side of the moon. 2019 was Chandrayaan 2 in south pole when Vikram lander crashed. Chandrayaan 3 now successfully rolled out the desi probe Pragyan out of Vikram lander near the south pole which is the dark side of the moon finally on Aug 23, 2023. India must go on and help smaller nations with scientific temperament achieve their space goals and open up the space. There are many truly aspiring world nations without facilities who when given impetus can go on a long way in achieving solidly when it comes to science & technology. Asian nations are truly happy for India. Putting aside our differences, every country in the world applauded India except of course,… you know who… who did it grudgingly. BBC went to the extent of asking stoppage of any aid to India when India actually is a nation that REFUSES aid even for natural calamities such as earthquakes etc. As a policy India has not taken aid for a long time now. We give aid, we don’t take aid. WE are the world’s fourth largest economy. In fact, we can give aid to UK so that more miserable Brits can be put on welfare.

Congratulations Pragg!
Congratulations to world No.2 and silver medalist from my hometown Chennai again, the 17 year old Praggnaanandha who lost the final in the Chess world cup in Azerbaijan to world no.1 Magnus Carlsen (who he has beaten incidentally in an earlier occasion). Prag becomes the youngest chess player in world history, creating another record for India, to enter the Chess world cup final. Nee superaa varuja raja! You have your whole life ahead of you and you are so very young! Looking forward to another genius world No.1 chess player from Chennai again in near future after Anand. More than his game, I am bowled over by his humility -something missing in certain brash loud empty vessels. Watched a you tube video in which Anand says, fatigue got upto Prag as he never lost a game until the final. He lost the final to former world champion from Norway in a tie breaker.
Omg how balanced he is at the young age of 17!
Indian Parenting is all about this: we are enough. this is enough. we are good. this is good. This Indian mother showed the world what it is to be an Indian mother.
