India and the Moon




The Moon has always been a subject for great intrigue. It has aroused the curiosity of mankind ever since its very beginning. The moon is also mentioned in the myths and legends of all races, old and new. The Indians revered him as a god, Chandra. The Greeks called her Artemis and the Vikings worshiped him as Mani. Humans began their expeditions to the moon from 1986. This curiosity towards our natural satellite soon broke out into a competition between nations - The Race To The Moon.  

INDIA AND THE MOON


In 1968, the race began,
Apollo, Luna, Chandrayaan.
We Indians sent our spacecrafts too,
Chandrayaan I and II

October 2008, the first one went,
From Sriharikota, it was sent.
This lunar orbiter was a big success,
It made Indians proud, we must confess.

As this ship shot up into the sky,
and we Earthlings bid it good bye..
Who knew we would find water on the moon!!
Aluminium, Silicon and Magnesium soon!!!
Ice was at the very top,
But we Indians did not stop.

July 2019 its pair left,
This moon rover was very deft.
Though we lost contact seconds before landing,
India's fame it left standing,
In the minds of millions of men,
Women and inspired children
“Moonlight drowns out all but the brightest stars.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings

The Journey To Success

Image
           The Journey To Success Success is a journey. If the journey to success you must make, The road of responsibility you ought to take. Here's a warning "It's gonna be rough" Without any teamwork, for sure its tough. In the forest of darkness you're under a tree, The torch of determination will set you free. A ray of hope now shines down the trees, Spirits up now you tread on the leaves. Outside the labyrinth of dangers you are, Thought & strategy are left so far. now you are here on success' brink, Now STOP! it's the time to think. A wise decision you must make, to solve a problem that's all it will take.   Creativity            Freedom - A Question ...      India and the Moon    Thank You The Ant and the Grasshopper

AI Poetry

Once upon a time, in a land so absurd, Where purple pineapples and talking socks were heard, Lived Professor Wumblethorp, a wizard quite klutzy, And Herring Walker, their apprentice so gutsy. In this land of wonders and magical glee, Herring turned teacups to turtles, oh me, oh my! Cushions became curtains, papers turned into seams, Chaos and laughter filled their whimsical dreams. One day, Herring spilled a potion so bright, On a toadstool it landed, causing a fright. The toadstool grew fast, with polka dots all around, Singing a jolly tune, making a joyful sound! Herring, all scared, climbed a teacup so high, Trotting away on a turtle, up in the sky. Through purple pineapple land they did roam, With socks lining up, dancing and singing, oh loam! Herring exclaimed, "A marvelous land so grand! But where are these tickleberries, I don't understand!" The squirrel, with a hat and a monocle so dandy, Warned of tickleberries, making laughter come handy! Herring, brave and curi...
