Following the Kalpana Chawla tragedy I really hoped that would not repeat in the history of Indian women. The news channels covered the landing by the second and there were millions who took a breath of relief after the safe landing. As the “Times of India” stated it was reality TV at its best for those few hours. There were people who performed pujas too for her safety.
She returned after spending more than 6 months at the space station. She set a record for the longest single spaceflight by a woman at 195 days.She also set the record for spacewalking by a woman for the longest time. Way to go girl!!!
Yes she did make India proud.But I wonder….does India really have a share in her feat. She was born in Ohio and the Indian connection is her father who hails from Gujarat. There ends all Indian roots. I mean what was all that media hype for (I know it’s hyped for just about anything). There were SMS campaigns, calls for wishes…Come on give me a break…Isn’t it over done a bit???
Whatever I still admire that lady!!!

The lady has guts. She has a marvelous achievement under her now.
But that doesnt take away the fact that Indian news channels are just dry of news !
Sunita's mom is from some part of Yugoslavia. There wasnt even a murmu there, we are told ! Huh !
