I am just amazed to see how the hardwork and dedication to her profession has shamelessly been labelled as "Made In India" by us Indians ?
every news channel has some Planetarium staffer or anyone with long hair and gray beard to go on endlessly about how a space-rocket is launched to how it is so beautiful up there...
YES WE KNOW ! Sunita has built was born in the US, studied there, joined US Navy there, joined NASA (there) and all that we can do is ADOPT HER FOR HER FAME !
Anyone outside India who does well is made a demi God and eulogies are written about them, just because we achieve orgasm just by adding the prefix "Indian-" to their actual domicile !
Kalpana Chawla did herself, US and NASA proud and now it is Sunita. We must not only adopt her for fame, but adopt her as an idol to inspire our generation to become astronauts. But have we ? Ever since Wing Commander Rakesh Sharma who flew to the space in 1984, we have'nt had a single astronaut male or female..so SHUT UP and start buidling up an infrastructure which inspires us all to throw up a new generation of desi astronauts !
Being a proud Indian, I am more interested in making a hero of the person who is making cheap scientific toys for the poor, cleaning the Ganges, providing medical cover to the poor than open a champagne to someone who 4000 kms away has reached the space due to her hardwork and sincerity.
