I was checking my old mails and found these pics which i have taken long ago (more then a year) from my cell and have MMS them to my ID they reminds me of the days when i was with these ppl and the way we tried to make something out of life. But life goes on and we meet many ppl and move away from them lets see what life has to offer for all of us so BEST OF LUCK ppl and thankx for every thing.

In the early 1960's …India was slowly awakening to the Space age….Although rest of the world was preparing to reach for the Moon…we were making our humble beginning…a small rocket took off from Thumba on the outskirts of Thiruvananthapuram, announcing the birth of the modern space age in India. That was when the Thumba Equatorial Rocket Launching Station (TERLS) formally came into existence. Over the years, TERLS have given birth to the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) and to the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO)…
Some Pics that will make every Indian proud…

Pics that say…we may not be as successful as the US or Russia…but we are there nevertheless…so watch out for us…

This was how the Rocket Cone was transported to the Launch Pad at Thumba !!

After a few minutes, the Father asked his Son the 2nd time, "What is this?"The Son said "Father, I have just now told you "It's a crow". After a little while, the old Father again asked his Son the 3rd time,"What is this?" At this time some __expression of irritation was felt in the Son'stone when he said to his Father with a rebuff."It's a crow, a crow". A little after, the Father again asked his Son t he 4th time, "What is this?"This time the Son shouted at his Father, "Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times 'IT IS A CROW'. Are you notable to understand this?" A little later the Father went to his room and came back with an oldtattered diary, which he had maintained since his Son was born. On opening a page, he asked his Son to readthat page. When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary: -
"Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, whena crow was sitting on the window. My Son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23times that it was a Crow. I hugged him lovingly each time h e asked me the same question againand again for 23 times. I did not at all feel irritated. I rather felt affection for my innocent child". While the little child asked him 23 times "What is this", the Fatherhad felt no irritation in replying to the same question all 23 times and when today theFather asked his Son the same question just 4 times, the Son felt irritated and annoyed.

So…

If your parents attain old age, do not repulse them or look at them as
a burden, but speak to them a gracious word, be cool, obedient, humble
and kind to them. Be considerate to your parents.
