I actually thought for 15 mins for a title for this post.
Today’s Mid-Day, 1st page, bottom corner..

India looks beautiful from space, Indian American astronaut Sunita Williams, part of the crew aboard International Space Station, said in a chat yesterday.

Speaking to 60 students, teachers, media persons and Rakesh Sharma, the first Indian to walk in space, Williams was all praise for the country.

“I had the opportunity to look at India a number of times from the spacecraft and it looks beautiful,” she said during a 10-odd-minute chat over satellite phone connected to the American Centre here.
“It’s a colourful country. Greenery and red mountains were great,” a seemingly anxious Williams added.

Williams, a graduate of the US Naval Academy, is one of the six women NASA has put in space since 1965. Her father, Deepak Pandya, is an Indian-born doctor and her mother is of Yugoslav descent.

During her take off on December 10 from the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral, Florida, Williams had taken along with her a copy of the Bhagavad Gita, a small idol of Lord Ganesh and a letter written in Hindi by her father — besides some samosas in a special container.

With all due respect to Sunita Williams, WTF was Mid-Day thinking? What earthly difference does it make to me, or for that matter anyone else if India looks beautiful from space? Hell, I already know! We’ve all heard of Google Earth havent we? Does this mean America and the rest of countries look like rabbit puke from space?

Give me a break! I gave up TV news channels, next in line, newspapers?

hmmm, on second thoughts, Mid-Day Mate was good today… :)
