JUST  ANOTHER  DAY

The Times of India today has allotted just a three-inch single column space to yesterday’s successful launch of five foreign satellites by an Indian PSLV from our launch pad at Sriharikota. Evidently, it has become a mere ‘routine’ event. Perhaps the next time we see a near full-page write up will be when our space vehicle reaches Mars in the not so distant future.

The sad reflection is how a country that has achieved such a great things in this high technology field is yet to feed its people adequately and give a minimum of education to masses of its children!
