It was quite thrilling to read the news about Mangalyan entering
space orbit. Got reminded of the joke that used to go around during my school
days – what does SLV stand for – Sea Landing Vehicle. GSLV – Guaranteed Sea
Landing Vehicle, PSLV – Planned… and so on. And in case you didn't know the actual expansion is Satellite Launch Vehicle. We have come a long long way. What a triumph that Mangalyan is a
success in the first attempt. And the
cost effectiveness is astounding. Was a moment to get teary-eyed.
There was also the joke about Indian trains never being on time. That has been put to rest as well.
