What's Up?

1) India beat Australia by a huge 300+ margin in the second to take a 1-0 lead in the 4 test series, the third test starts tomorrow

2) ISRO's Chandrayaan-1 moon mission was successfully launched a week back, propelling India into the exclusive club of space faring nations... a few days later, Chandrayaan-1 is expected to be put into the lumar orbit, and then send across a moon lander with an Indian flag to the moon!

3) The world economy continues to nosedive, the Sensex crashing down to below-8K levels from it's peak of 25K just a few months back. FII selling pressures have also pulled the Rupee below the 50 mark against the dollar. Oil has crashed to less than half it's peak of around 120 a few weeks back!

I heard that Obama made a big deal about our Moon Mission saying that it is a threat to the US dominance in Space Research..

We of course blew it out of proportion saying that it is a matter of pride for Obama to say that about us.

In all honesty, Obama said what he said because, for him, it's just another "matter to raise" before elections. Show his concern and make his point about how his government will take care of this too!

We're a proud nation already. We don't need to pick up these bones..

Oh, I agree we dont need Obama's endorsement, but I still think we should be screaming in pride :)
