Smart Indians

We Indians are damn smart! An Indian used a distant satellite and peered into thousands of images to find the crashed Chandrayaan. Another Indian smiling at all the nearby cameras walked past the immigration staff  into Kailasa and none could see him going. Super ! 🙂 #sillyconFeelings (2)

A lovely canopy

Near my house is a park named after Major Sylvester Rakesh Ratnam, a resident of my area who was martyred in Operation Parakram in 2002.
