Mars- Is life possible?

The day started with beautiful rain drenching me as i went for a walk. It was really beautiful, felt like being on a hillstation. The local authorities hav put up a lot of efforts beautifying the jogging track. Aneways plan for a good long walk were rescinded due to the rain.

The so called Feel Good Factor of the ruling party seems to be visible everywhere with markets and malls being crowded with people buying anything and everything. But when one looks at the poor people and the downtrodden seems the govt had done nothing for them. But with the forex reserves, and the growing GDP growth rate we can soon become the next superpower.

National Geographic's has got some nice programs showcasing the recent developments in science and technology. Their recent coverage of the mars expedition gives good insight into the space exploration programs and their success and failures. After the Columbia space shuttle crash the space program seemed to take a back seat, but now with so many rovers exploring the mars they have again hogges the limelight.

Beagle2's failure might have soured the dream of the scientists, but with the succees of Rover SPIRIT and OPPORTUNITY for the first time colorful pictures of mars surface were seen by people all over the world. The discovery of imprints of water on water surface gives a new dimension to the possibility of life on MARS. There was a lack of coverage on the space exploration programs but the coverage by Nat Geo provided a relief.

After watching the programs at NAT GEO I am thinking of putting up a website showcasing the recent discoveries and inventions in the field of science and Technology.

Republic day celebrations.
Started the day watching 55th republic day celebrations. Nice to see parade after a long time. The best part is the colorful tableaus depicting India's multi culture and diversity. The glory of India's achievements over the past one year. Remembered all those parades watched at Rajpath, the excitement and the happiness of a children seeing the multicolored jhankis and brave stunts on motorcycles.. Hope to watch one again soon....
