Centrifugal Force

Fandom: Rocket Boys (Web Series)

Pairing: Homi Bhaba/Vikram Sarabhai

Tags: hurt/comfort, fluff, slightly depressing, drinking

Summary: Nehru is so done with Homi and Vikram not dating, that he decides to intervene a bit.

Note: Centrifugal Force is an outward force that kind of negates gravity and doesn’t let orbiting bodies fall on the ones generating gravity.

Inspiration: that one person who said, Pandit Ji will act as a supportive friend, heavily inspired by with you by my side (i feel there is hope) @chaotic-moonlight, thanks to @stuckyandlarrystuff and @mr-dickalambo for motivating me to finally complete this and, ALL OF YOU FOR WRITING SUCH AMAZING FANFICS TILL NOW.

!!THIS IS NOT BASED ON THE REAL PEOPLE BUT ON THEIR PORTRAYAL IN ROCKET BOYS 2022!!

********************

Another meeting came to an end at the PM’s residence. It was already evening, hence the members of the atomic energy commission and respective ministers were asked to have dinner before leaving. While having all this small talk Homi couldn’t help but wonder where Vikram was. He had been awfully quiet today. Homi knew that Vikram wasn’t in favor of the plan but how mad did he have to be to ignore Homi the whole day?

Losing his appetite, Homi turned towards the bar in hopes that it’ll help him forget everything about Vikram, Pipsy, and the work in the commission. But to his surprise Vikram was over there, diagonally standing near the counter, sipping on his wine while being lost in his thoughts.

“Turned into an alcoholic haven't we now Sarabhai?” Homi said with a smug smile.

“Homi,” Vikram said hoarsely while looking at the wine in his glass. He shifted a bit, signaling Homi to stand next to him.

“Something wrong?” Homi asked, bending a bit to look into Sarabhai’s eyes to find clues.

“Nothing.” Sarabhai said as he gulped in the whole glass in one go, then turned around and asked for a second round.

“Well that didn't seem like nothing.” Homi said observing Sarabhai. On not receiving any response, he continued, “Um tell me more about your projects. Tell me about ATIRA. How’s everything going?” Bhabha asked, trying to be as careful with his friend as possible.

“Don’t ask. Please!” Vikram tilted his head up to look at the roof while holding back tears.

“Well then I guess Mrinalini just scolded you again. Didn’t she?” Homi said in an attempt to brighten up Vikram’s mood.

“She wants a divorce.” Vikram said as quietly as possible.

“Wha-? The last time I checked you guys conceived a child or two.”

“Presence of a child doesn’t guarantee the presence of love in a relationship Homi” Vikram snapped while taking a sip from his now filled glass.

“I know that but-” Homi got cut.

“I cheated on her.” Vikram exhaled and took another sip from his glass.

“You did what?

“I chea-”

“I HEARD THE FIRST TIME SARABHAI I JUST CAN’T BELIEVE IT.” Homi said a bit too loud, earning glances from other people and giving them apologetic smiles.

“See this is why I didn’t wanna share anything with you.” Vikram clicked his tongue and said.

“So now SOMEHOW it's my fault huh?

“NO it's just that– you're always over dramatic!”

Homi looked at Sarabhai in disbelief then continued, “Says the one who legit called love a gravitational force.” He gave a dry laugh

“Homi” Vikram looked straight into Bhabha’s eyes and said “Centrifugal force exists too.”

Homi just nodded and left the bar. On his way out he was stopped by Nehru.

“Homi, where have you been-?”

“I’m not really in a mood to talk bhai. I’ll just go to my room and rest for the night.” Homi said leaving Nehru perplexed.

Nehru turned his head towards the bar and saw Sarabhai chugging in another glass of wine. He guessed it must be another fight between the two. He approached Vikram and greeted him.

“Good evening Nehru ji.” Vikram Responded.

“Another fight with your ‘friend’ huh?” Nehru said, receiving a light chuckle from Vikram.

He continued, “Vikram, you know Homi likes you.”

Vikram paused for a second and said, “I know. He always treasured me for my ability to think out of the box and come up with solutions no matter how far from reality they might seem.” Looking at his half empty glass, Vikram said.

“Well I don't mean ‘that’ kind of like.” Vikram raised his eyes at the words of Nehru only to meet those of Nehru.

“I'm not sure about you but Homi, that guy loves you. Yes he did fall for Pipsy and yes he was sad that she got married but he was always happy because of you and for YOUR achievements. That included you falling for a young lady, marrying her, becoming a father, starting ATIRA, everything. I’m pretty sure if you shoot a rocket in the sky tomorrow, he’ll be right there, right by your side, celebrating the moment more than you. He loves you, Vikram.” Nehru finished.

“But why are you telling me all this now?”

“Because I’m fed-up with your quarrels. Just get married and resolve your problems.” Nehru said in a single breadth.

“I can’t believe I'm hearing all this.” Vikram said, taking the last sip from his glass.

“That’s better. In that case, Homi won’t come to me yelling that I told you his SECRET.”

Perplexed, Vikram asked, “Do you want me to-?”

Before He could complete it, Nehru left, giving him a smile. Vikram blinked his eyes a few times, trying to figure out what just happened. Now he had two choices either to ignore everything that Panditji said or confront Homi and propose to him.

Vikram picked up a bottle of wine and started walking upstairs while occasionally drinking the wine. Most of the people were still downstairs giving him the chance to be an embarrassing drunk mess trying to find Homi’s room while being unable to even walk.

He finally reached the last room on that floor. Reading Homi’s name, he knocked twice and called out.

“Who’s there?” Homi asked

“Me. Vikram.”

“I’m tired Vikram can't we talk tomorrow?”

“Just one question Homi. Then I’ll leave.” Vikram took a sip from his wine bottle.

Fed up, Homi got up from his bed, opened the door knob and started walking back to his bed. Vikram hugged him from behind and asked in a muffled voice, “Do you love me?”

Homi was stunned but tried to be as calm as possible. “So you're really drunk finally?” He asked with a nervous laugh.

“So you don't love me?” Vikram asked, tiptoeing to have a look at Homi’s face to get an answer.

“I never said that.” Homi said, trying to hide his smirk.

“Be straight with me Homi.” Vikram snapped while tightening his grip around Homii’s waist.

“Well that’d be ironic.”

Vikram freed his hand in which he was holding the bottle to take a sip from it. Homi turned around and said, “My goodness the bottle is already 1/4th empty.” his voice filled with shock, amusement and concern.

“You know what? I think you were the centrifugal force all along.” Vikram said while putting his bottle on a nearby table.

“That’s an interesting way to confess your love?”

“You wanna kiss?”

Homi was shocked to receive such a question. He took a deep breath and said, “Vikram, it's too late and you're drunk. Sleep, okay?”

“How could I sleep when the person who gave me sleepless nights is right in front of me? I might be drunk but I’ve never been this awake.”

“I don't recall you opting for drama classes in Cambridge?”

“Shut up.” Vikram said finally shutting his eyes and banging his head on Homi’s chest who walked the sleepy head to his bed and tucked him in.

—------------------

“Good morning my prince.” Homi said and took a sip from the wine bottle Vikram brought in yesterday. Vikram was squirting his eyes, his brain filled with questions, massive headache and inability to adjust to the brightness in the room.

“Homi?” He said, questioning everything around him. “Wait- WHY AM I IN YOUR ROOM? IN. YOUR. BED? WHY ARE YOU IN YOUR ROBE?” Vikram said, sitting upright while numerous fears slowly started creeping in.

“Relax darling, read the room a bit. What do you think I'd do to you?” Homi said while walking dangerously close to Vikram. They shared a glance and Homi kissed Vikram’s forehead in reassurance.

“Plus it's not like you’d get pregnant or anything, why are you scared?” He walked back with a smug smile.

Vikram rubbed his face with his hands in an attempt to wake himself up. “What's the time?” He asked.

“9.30”

Vikram paused for a second, then got up from his bed in an attempt to sprint, failing miserably and sitting back.

“Calm down. We still have 2.5 hours before we’ve gotta leave Sarabhai.”

“Yeah right.” Sarabhai said “I'm fine, I'm fine.” He said, waving Homi to stop walking towards him.

“No youre not.”

“I can walk. Don't worry.” Vikram assured and got up slowly. He smiled at Homi and started walking towards the door.

“Come back when you're done” Homi said without turning around to see Vikram leave.

“I’ll.” Vikram answered before leaving.

—-----------------------

Vikram walked out of his room all ready to leave any moment. He had spent the last 1.5 hour processing everything. From things he remembered about last night to how he was going to talk to his family and explain it to them. He was in the hallway to Homi’s room when a hand landed on his shoulder.

“Dr. Sarabhai!” He heard a familiar voice

“Pandit ji” Vikram responded with a smile.

“So did you-?”

“Yes I did and I owe you for that a lot.”

“No, I was just fed up with the tension you two created every time. Anyway I think I should leave. The breakfast will be served shortly so please be there.” Nehru gave a chuckle and left. Vikram turned around.

“Are you already trying to cheat on me Sarabhai?” Homi mockingly twisted his eyebrows while nearing the gap between them.

“Not until we have at least one child.” Vikram said with a mischievous smile.

“Self-destructive humor? I love it. I love you” Homi said, placing his hands on Vikram’s waist and pulling him close.

“I love you too.” Vikram said getting rid of any space left and placing his lips on Homi’s.

While all other scientists enjoyed the first meal of the day. Homi and Vikram spend their time exploring each other’s mouth, touching each other at places they usually wont, not afraid of anyone catching them in that.very.hallway.

Original Shows and Movies from India

Original Movies and Shows from India that are Beautifully Made, Acted, Directed, with Excellent Production Design.

Here are some highly enjoyable and original Indian productions. They are all so captivating that it's difficult to pick the best among them. So, in no particular order of preference, here are our recommendations for this edition of IndigoKashmir from India:

Sir (2018): An optimistic and determined young woman from a remote village embarks on her new job as a live-in maid for the cynical son of a wealthy family. As time passes, they fall in love, but their relationship becomes forbidden. This film is one of the most beautifully written, acted, and filmed movies we've seen in a while. If you enjoyed 'The Lunchbox,' then 'Sir' is a must-watch. While it tells a simple story, it deeply moved us. 'Sir' is a thought-provoking film and has firmly secured a place among our favourite films. We cannot recommend it enough.

Tumhari Sulu (2017): Sulu is an ambitious housewife with a loving husband and a happy family. Her life takes an unexpected turn when she accidentally lands a job as a radio jockey, and her show becomes an instant hit. This film presents a cute and funny story about a Mumbai housewife with a "can-do" attitude. It's incredibly witty and charming, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. At the heart of its story, the film carries a valuable message. If you're seeking something lighthearted, positive, and fun, be sure to check it out.

Delhi Belly (2011): Three struggling roommates unwittingly become potential targets of a ruthless gangster. This film is one of the funniest we've seen in quite some time! While it can get a bit gross at times, in this comedy, NOTHING IS OFF LIMITS (as the title suggests). It's a very well-written, brilliantly acted, and expertly directed cinematic gem. We wholeheartedly recommend it; it had us in stitches.

Rocket Boys (2022): This is the extraordinary story of two remarkable men, Homi Bhabha and Vikram Ambalal Sarabhai, who not only made history but also shaped India's future. It's a phenomenal tale of exceptional individuals, captured with exquisite filming, outstanding acting, and masterful direction. We were so captivated by it that we binged the entire series on a rainy weekend. This show is not only thought-provoking, intelligent, and inspirational, but it also beautifully portrays real-life events.

If you enjoyed series like 'Manhattan,' then 'Rocket Boys' is a must-watch for you. The two lead actors, Jim Sarbh and Ishwak Singh, deliver brilliant performances. What's truly commendable is how the show remains focused on the scientists and avoids getting entangled in politics, allowing the story to shine through without distractions. (Season 2 arrived earlier this year and it was just as good as the first one).

If anyone knows who was responsible for the exceptional set and production design, please share! It added to the show's beauty. 'Rocket Boys' is a beautifully shot series that's truly worth your time.

Qarib Qarib Single (2017): Two contrasting personalities, Yogi and Jaya, connect through a dating app and embark on a journey to revisit their past, rediscovering themselves along the way. This film is a delightful, sweet, feel-good, and charming experience. It weaves a beautiful, heartwarming, and lovely story, all set against the backdrop of a road trip across India. We highly recommend it if you're looking for something easygoing, joyful—a film that will surely bring a smile to your face.

Let's also take a moment to remember Irrfan Khan; he was an extraordinary talent who left a lasting legacy.

Panchayat (2020): It is a comedy-drama that follows the journey of Abhishek, an engineering graduate who, due to a lack of better job options, takes on the role of secretary at a Panchayat office in a remote village in Uttar Pradesh. It's a positive, imaginative, funny, heartwarming, original, and endearing series. We absolutely loved every aspect of it and highly recommend it. (Season 2 was just as good and there will be a season 3).

This show carries a meaningful message at its core and remains refreshingly original. The cinematography and soundtrack are also phenomenal. A word of warning: it might inspire you to consider a simpler life in a village. The creators of this series display comedy genius, and in our humble opinion, comedy is one of the most challenging genres. It's easy to make people feel miserable, but it's much harder to make them smile. The simplicity of the village depicted in the show took IndigoKashmir back to the carefree days of childhood. Those were undoubtedly the golden years.

Andhadhun (2018): "Andhadhun" unfolds a series of mysterious events that alter the life of a blind pianist, forcing him to report a crime he never actually witnessed. This film completely blew us away. It's a black comedy, so be warned: if you're expecting slapstick or the usual style of comedy, it may not be for you. Instead, this movie seamlessly weaves a story within a drama, within a thriller, within a horror. It's an absolute masterpiece, and we cannot recommend it enough.

We'll be back with more original selections from India. We hope you enjoy these recommendations, and if you watch them, please let us know what you think!

Grace of Mary Magdalene and India's space achievements

✨

India's first rocket launch was from the coastal fishing village of Tumba in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala.

There was no ISRO then. In 1962, Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru established the National Committee for Space Research under the Department of Atomic Energy. His inspiration was Vikram Sarabhai, a scientist from Gujarat. ISRO was formally established on 15.8.1969.

India's first satellite, Aryabhata, was launched in 1975 by the Soviet Union.

A coastal fishing village 15 km north of Thiruvananthapuram Tumba. It was the village where St. Francis Xavier stayed when he came to Kerala in the sixteenth century. St. Francis builds a church with mud walls and coconut leaves. About 100 years later the mud wall was removed and a permanent building was built as a shrine to St. Bartholomew.

At the beginning of the 20th century the church became the Mary Magdalene Church. The statue of Mary Magdalene was the most beautiful sandalwood statue left on the beach while the temple was under construction. It became the worshiped deity of the temple. A huge tree, never seen before, was planted on the same bank and was made the flagpole of the temple. It is the belief of the Christian people that Jesus first appeared to Mary Magdalene when he rose from the dead.

... ...

When the question arose as to where to set up a rocket launch pad for India, Tumpa was identified as the best place on Earth's magnetic equator.

That day Vikram Sarabhai and Homi Baba had planned to meet Reverend Peter Bernard Pereira who was the Bishop of Mary Magdalene Temple. It was a Saturday. Sarabhai asks the Bishop to take the grace of Dumba to the bishop and leave the 800 acre temple and all the land to the government. Bishop smiles soundly and tells him to come the next day.

The bishop addresses the congregation of Christians at Sunday morning Mass: My children! Here comes a famous scientist. He asks us to give up our temple and the house I live in for India's space exploration. Science seeks truth that furthers individual life. The highest form of religion is spirituality. What do mystics pray to God for? They pray for peace in human minds. In short - Vikram and I are doing the same work - science and spirituality seek God's blessings, for what? It is because human thought and body should be enriched. So, children, a scientist asks God's temple for a long-term scientific project, and give it away?

There is a great silence in the crowd. Just a few seconds. After that, the whole congregation chanted 'Amen' and from that moment the space exploration for the future of India begins.

... ...

Thumba Equatorial Launching Station. India's space research center and first rocket launch pad were located on a site donated by Christians. The church and the houses of the surrounding fishermen were evacuated. Many of India's early rockets were designed and built before the shrine's Mary Magdalene shrine. A Nike-Apache rocket developed by US NASA and bought by India was integrated before Mary Magdalene.

The TERLS administrative office functioned in the central location of the temple. Later, when a separate building was constructed for rocket construction, rocket work was shifted there. Later the temple and other buildings were converted into accommodation for scientists and workers. An elementary school next to the launch pad has become the launch pad office. Later it was converted into a library.

The pledge was secured that no damage would be done to the construction of the supremely beautiful church or the statue of Mary Magdalene.

The fishermen of the village never gave up their right to the beach. They used to conduct their daily life of fishing activities and drying their nets on the same beach. Rocket A also cooperates by temporarily suspending their operations on the coast if notified earlier.

During the early days of space exploration, the government selected top scientists from abroad to come here. If the visiting scientists disembark at Thiruvananthapuram airport and come straight to the rocket research center, they will go to the 'accommodation' area in the temple and the families arriving later will have to live in this 'accommodation' area.

Even the old brick buildings surrounding the temple are still in use. Many departments including Rocket Construction Division, Guard Division, Restaurant are functioning. The Bishop's residence houses the offices of the director of TERLS and other senior scientists.

In 1985, after the Thumba launch pad and residential areas were relocated to buildings with modern facilities, the temple became a space exploration exhibition.

... ...

Abdul Kalam designed India's first SLV3. Rohini carried the satellite. Dated 18.7.1980.

It was announced that a machine designed there by Abdul Kalam and Chinya Ramachandra Rao Satya would be inaugurated on 2 February 1968 by the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.

On the same day, the Centaur rocket was scheduled to be launched by Indira itself at 6 pm. Scientist CR Sathya is working on attaching a device containing a highly dangerous chemical to the rocket. As time was running out, the management forgot to send a jeep to those who were three km away! World famous Henri Cartier Bresson filmed the scene in which Satya and Velappan Nair were pushed in a carrier on a bicycle in black and white!!!

Vikram Sarabhai married Mrinalini in 1942 and their daughter is the famous dancer Mallika Sarabhai. Mrinalini is Captain Lakshmi's younger sister.

... ...

Today at 2.30 pm from Sriharikota launch pad in Andhra Pradesh LVM3 was the vehicle that carried the Chandrayaan 3 spacecraft.

May Chandrayaan win. Amen

▪️Mohammad Iqbal

மேரி மக்தலீனாவின் அருளாசியும் இந்திய விண்வெளி சாதனைகளும்

இந்தியாவில் முதன்முதலாக ஒரு ராக்கெட் ஏவப்பட்டது கேரளாவில் திருவனந்தபுரத்தில் தும்பா என்ற கடற்கரை ஓர மீனவ கிராமத்தில் இருந்துதான்.

அப்போது ISRO கிடையாது. 1962இல் பிரதமர் ஜவஹர்லால் நேரு National Committee for space research என்ற ஆய்வு நிறுவனத்தை அணுசக்தி துறையின்கீழ் நிறுவினார். அவருக்கு தூண்டுதலாக இருந்தவர் குஜராத்தை சேர்ந்த விக்ரம் சாராபாய் என்ற விஞ்ஞானி. ISRO முறையாக நிறுவப்பட்டது 15.8.1969 அன்று.

இந்தியாவின் முதல் செயற்கைக்கோள் ஆர்யபட்டா, 1975இல் அதை விண்ணில் ஏவியது சோவியத் யூனியன்.

திருவனந்தபுரத்தில் இருந்து 15 கிமீ வடக்கில் உள்ள கடற்கரை மீன்பிடி கிராமம்தான்

தும்பா. புனித பிரான்சிஸ் சேவியர் பதினாறாம் நூற்றாண்டில் கேரளாVவுக்கு வந்தபோது தங்கியிருந்த கிராமம் அது. மண் சுவராலும் தென்னை ஓலைகளாலும் ஒரு தேவாலயத்தை புனித பிரான்சிஸ் கட்டுகின்றார். ஏறத்தாழ100 வருடங்களுக்கு பிறகு புனித பார்தலோமியோவ்வுக்கானஆலயமாக மண்சுவர் அகற்றப்பட்டு நிலையான கட்டிடம் கட்டப்பட்டது.

20ஆம் நூற்றாண்டின் தொடக்கத்தில் அந்த ஆலயம் மேரி மக்தலீன் ஆலயமாக மாறியது. ஆலய கட்டுமானம் நடந்துகொண்டு இருந்தபோது கடற்கரையில் ஒதுங்கிய மிக அழகிய சந்தனமர சிலைதான் அந்த மேரி மக்தலீன் உருவச்சிலை. அதுவே ஆலயத்தின் வழிபாட்டுக்குரிய தெய்வமாகியது. அதுவரை காணப்படாத மிகப்பெரிய மரம் ஒன்று அதே கரையில் ஒதுங்க, அதுவே ஆலயத்தின் கொடிமரமாக ஆக்கப்பட்டது. மரித்த யேசு உயிர்த்து எழுந்தபோது மேரி மக்தலீனுக்கே முதலில் காட்சியளித்தார் என்பது கிறித்துவ மக்களின் நம்பிக்கை.

... ...

இந்தியாவுக்கான ராக்கெட் ஏவுதளத்தை எங்கே நிறுவலாம் என்ற கேள்வி எழுந்தபோது புவியின் காந்தப்புல நிலநடுக்கோட்டுப் பகுதியில் அமைந்த தும்பா சிறந்த பகுதியாக அடையாளம் காணப்பட்டது.

அன்று விக்ரம் சாரா பாயும் ஹோமி பாபாவும் திட்டமிட்டபடி சாராபாய் மேரி மக்தலீன் ஆலயத்தின் பிஷப் ஆக இருந்த ரெவரெண்ட் பீட்டர் பெர்னார்டு பெரீராவை சந்திக்கிறார். அது ஒரு சனிக்கிழமை. தும்பாவின் அருமையை பிஷப்புக்கு எடுத்துச்சொல்லி சுமார் 800 ஏக்கர் பரப்பளவில் அமைந்த ஆலயம், நிலம் அனைத்தையும் அரசுக்கு விட்டுத்தருமாறு சாராபாய் வேண்டுகிறார். பிஷப் புன்னகை புரிந்து மறுநாள் வர சொல்கின்றார்.

ஞாயிற்றுக்கிழமை காலை வழிபாட்டுக்கூட்டத்தில் கூடியுள்ள கிறித்துவ மக்களிடையே பிஷப் உரையாற்றுகிறார்: என் குழந்தைகளே! இங்கே புகழ்பெற்ற ஒரு விஞ்ஞானி வந்துள்ளார். இந்தியாவின் விண்வெளி ஆய்வுக்காக நமது ஆலயத்தையும் நான் வாழும் வீட்டையும் விட்டுக்கொடுக்குமாறு அவர் நம்மிடம் வேண்டுகிறார். விஞ்ஞானம் உண்மையை தேடுகிறது, அது தனிமனித வாழ்க்கையை மேலும் மேம்படுத்துகிறது. மதத்தின் உயரிய வடிவம் என்பது ஆன்மீகமே. ஆன்மீகவாதிகள் கடவுளிடம் எதை வேண்டுகிறார்கள்? மனித மனங்களில் அமைதியை வேண்டுகிறார்கள். சுருக்கமாக சொல்வேன் - நானும் விக்ரமும் ஒரே வேலையைத்தான் செய்து கொண்டு இருக்கிறோம் - விஞ்ஞானமும் ஆன்மீகமும் கடவுளின் ஆசீர்வாதத்தை வேண்டுகின்றன, எதற்கு? மனிதனின் சிந்தனையும் உடலும் வளம் பெற வேண்டும் என்பதற்கே. ஆக, குழந்தைகளே, கடவுளின் ஆலயத்தை ஒரு நெடுங்கால விஞ்ஞான திட்டத்திற்காக ஒரு விஞ்ஞானி கேட்கிறார், கொடுத்து விடலாமா?

கூட்டத்தில் பெரும் அமைதி நிலவுகிறது. ஒருசில நொடிகள் மட்டுமே. அதன்பின் ஒட்டுமொத்த சபையும் 'ஆமென்' என்று முழங்க அந்த நொடியில் இருந்து தொடங்குகிறது எதிர்கால இந்தியாவுக்கான விண்வெளி ஆய்வு.

Thumba Equatorial Launching Station என்ற

இந்தியாவின் விண்வெளி ஆய்வு மையமும் முதல் ராக்கெட் ஏவுதளமும் கிறித்துவ மக்கள் மனமுவந்து அளித்த இடத்தில்தான் அமைந்தது. தேவாலயமும் சுற்றி இருந்த மீனவ மக்களின் வீடுகளும் காலி செய்யப்பட்டன. ஆலயத்தின் மேரி மக்தலீன் பீடத்திற்கு முன்புதான் இந்தியாவின் முதற்கட்ட ராக்கெட்டுகள் பலவும் வடிவமைக்கப்பட்டன, உருவாக்கப்பட்டன. அமெரிக்கா NASAவில் செய்யப்பட்டு இந்தியா வாங்கிய Nike-Apache ராக்கெட் மேரி மக்தலீனுக்கு முன்புதான் ஒருங்கிணைக்கப்பட்டது.

ஆலயத்தின் மையமான இடத்தில் TERLS நிர்வாக அலுவலகம் இயங்கியது. பின்னர் ராக்கெட் கட்டுமானத்திற்கு என தனி கட்டிடம் கட்டப்பட்டபோது ராக்கெட் பணிகள் அங்கே மாற்றப்பட்டன. அதன்பின் ஆலயமும் பிற கட்டிடங்களும் விஞ்ஞானிகள், தொழிலாளர்கள் தங்கும் இடமாக மாற்றப்பட்டன. ஏவுதளத்தின் பக்கத்தில் இருந்த ஒரு தொடக்கப்பள்ளிதான் ஏவுதள அலுவலகம் ஆக இருந்துள்ளது. பின்னர் அது நூலகமாக மாற்றப்பட்டது.

மிக உயர்ந்த அழகிய ஆலயத்தின் கட்டுமானத்திற்கோ மேரி மக்தலீன் உருவச்சிலைக்கோ எந்தவிதமான பாதிப்பும் ஏற்படாது என்று உறுதிமொழி பாதுகாக்கப்பட்டது.

கிராமத்தின் மீனவ மக்கள் கடற்கரையின் மீதான தம் உரிமையை எப்போதும் விட்டுக்கொடுத்தது இல்லை. தமது மீன்பிடித்தொழில் நடவடிக்கைகள், வலைகளை காய வைப்பது ஆகிய அன்றாட வாழ்க்கையை இதே கடற்கரையில்தான் நடத்தி வந்தார்கள். ராக்கெட் ஏவும் முன்பு அறிவிக்கப்பட்டால் கடற்கரையில் தமது நடவடிக்கைகளை தற்காலிகமாக நிறுத்திவைத்து ஒத்துழைப்பார்கள்.

விண்வெளி ஆய்வின் தொடக்க காலத்தில் வெளிநாடுகளில் இருந்த தலைசிறந்த விஞ்ஞானிகளை அரசு தேர்வுசெய்து இங்கே வரச்செய்தது. அப்படி வந்த விஞ்ஞானிகள் திருவனந்தபுரம் விமான நிலையத்தில் இறங்கி நேராக ராக்கெட் ஆய்வு மையத்திற்கு வந்தால் ஆலயத்தில் இருந்த 'குடியிருப்பு' பகுதிக்கு செல்வதும் அதன் பின்னர் வந்து சேரும் குடும்பத்தினரும் இந்த 'குடியிருப்பு' பகுதியில்தான் வசிக்க வேண்டும்.

ஆலயத்தை சுற்றி இருந்த பழைய செங்கல் கட்டிடங்களும் கூட பயன்பாட்டில்தான் இருந்துள்ளன. ராக்கெட் கட்டுமான பிரிவு, காவலர் பிரிவு, உணவகம் உள்ளிட்ட பல துறைகள் இயங்கியுள்ளன. பிஷப்பின் இல்லத்தில்தான் TERLS இன் இயக்குனருக்கும் பிற மூத்த விஞ்ஞானிகளுக்கும் ஆன அலுவலகம் ஆக இருந்துள்ளது.

1985இல் தும்பா ஏவுதளமும் குடியிருப்பு பகுதிகளும் நவீன வசதிகளுடன் கூடிய கட்டிடங்களுக்கு இடம்பெயர்ந்த பின்னர், ஆலயம் விண்வெளி ஆய்வுக்கண்காட்சியாகமாக மாறியது.

Family Hugs.

Fandom: Rocket Boys (Web Series)

Pairing: Homi Bhaba/Vikram Sarabhai

Tags: established relationship, hurt/comfort, fluff, slight mentions of anxiety and depression, cooking, sort of meeting the parents, canon-divergence.

Summary: Vikram, Homi and his mother spend some family time.

Note: This chapter is HEAVILY inspired from Limbic Brains by SylvieisNico or our dear @mr-dickalambo

So, this fic is a dedication to them and @chaotic-moonlight, who literally came and saved this small (yet) fandom, their ideas are literally *chef’s kiss*. With you by my side (I feel there is hope) ... Literal tears help-

Also, this story has no relation to the actual history. This is totally based on the context of Rocket Boys web series (2022). This narrative is very different from the series as well. Other writers, come forward and give your thoughts and words as well!

Vikram knew something was wrong when Homi did not answer his letter about him opening the PRL, his remarkable foundation and he of course wanted Homi to be there for its inauguration. In sweet words he had tried to make it clear, how much he needed Homi to have his back there. During the photo sessions, the tour around the rooms and what not.

So it obviously came as a huge disappointment when he had not found him that day at his side. And some anxiety too.

It was until he heard Homi was not visiting TIFR, had gone radio silent about his future projects. And what were Mathur and Mr. Bhatnagar talking about? Bad phase? Gone insane?

Vikram very well remembered that night. They were having a house party at Vikram’s when his telephone had rung. In his drunken haze Homi had picked up the call, and within seconds he was all smiling and jumping and thrummed with energy.

He had got the grant for the TIFR.

And in that sheer moment of happiness Homi clung him in his arms and kissed him as deeply as he could, as if he poured all his happiness and excitement in it.

“I got the grant.” Homi breathed out while resting his forehead against Vikram’s.

“Yes, yes you did! You absolute mad man!” Vikram ran his nimble fingers along the razor-sharp cheekbones and cupped them to give a kiss at the corner of the lips.

He quickly drew back. An air cockiness around his eyes. He pushed back Homi by his shoulders.

“Now go and don’t show me your face until you fully set up that dream institute!”

“At your command, Your Highness.” Homi smirked before giving him a last hug and sprinting off.

So this was what it must be about.

It clicked then in Vikram.

Vikram had not tried to contact him much, had only sent him a few letters in the past months. For he knew what it takes to open a whole new institute from scratch. He also had been busy with his PRL. In the beginning, Homi had responded quite enthusiastically countering about all the set up, the new machines, had talked about being understaffed, but something he can manage and finally about a Parsi cricket book.

After that it had been all silent.

And deep it was, quite co-incidentally, when the next day he got a call from Mrs. Bhaba.

“Vikram beta, if you could come as soon as possible—”

While Vikram had passed it for work load, his and Homi’s combined, it seemed it way much more deeper than that!

Mrs. Mehereen Bhaba was an evergreen lady.

Maybe that’s why, two days later, Vikram left every responsibility on Ramanathan of a heavily understaffed PRL and took the next train to Bombay.

Yes, Vikram could see the lines produced due to the sudden death of her husband, she looked a little exhausted, maybe her usual alight eyes a little teary, but she looked strong enough.

He had reached Homi’s house when it was past 10 PM. His train had reached late, and yet in the dark Mrs. Bhaba was still waiting for his arrival.

“Mam—”, Vikram stooped down to touch her feet, only to be tightly hugged by the mother.

Vikram tried to shove off the perpetual gloominess from the air over his shoulders. Some of it seemed to have slid down on seeing the slight smile on Mrs. Bhaba’s lips.

“Na Vikram, call me Mehreen Aunty.”

Resting her hand through Vikram’s arms, she guided him to the inner chambers of the house.

Vikram smiled, “How are you, Aunty.”

“Aunty, it’s too late now, how about you go to sleep now. Come I’ll take you to your room.”

“But you-”

“No aunty, not you. Someone else can show me my rooms.” He gave his dimpled smile. They always seem to work. Definitely works on Homi, it should work on his mother as well. “And I want to meet Homi before that.”

“As good as a mother could be of an unreachable son.” Vikram could very spot the lingering sadness in her eyes. He tightly held her hands as a reassurance.

Mehereen sighed.

Vikram took her to her bed. He let her sit on her bed and he knelt down in front of her.

Meherren laughed, “Yeah, I do, I do like milk. And seems like I should meet her one day.”

“You should, Aunty. You and Homi, both should visit our home in Ahmedabad.”

“You drink milk, Aunty? My ma says a glass of milk with a pinch of haldi is the best for a good sleep.”

“Feroz!”

Vikram was grateful that the door was not locked from the inside. He pushed the door in and once he stepped in the dimly lit room, he felt his lungs chocking up.

Vikram had stayed up with Mrs. Bhaba until she had drunk the whole glass of milk. After he bade her goodnight, he had asked Feroz once again to take him to the room where Homi had evidently locked himself up.

At the desk, stood Homi bent over huge piles of papers. The shallow light reflected on his house coat, from behind, Homi’s stature looked a little sunken in.

The very same light reflected on the papers pinned to the world. Pictures of Hiroshima-Nagasaki bombing and articles, millions of words were screaming at him. Vikram shivered from within.

“Homi?” he called as slowly as he could.

What once was a clearly shaven cheek was now untrimmed and rough, the fiery pupils within the intellectual eyes were shadowed, the skin looked pale, oh goodness, Vikram felt like he had seen a ghost.

In a furl of clothing, Homi turned around.

Vikram was shocked at what he saw.

“Vikram? What are you doing here?” the voice came out a little husky.

With much control from within himself to stop straight jumping in to scold the other man, Vikram said, “And one might think you are not happy to see me.”

Homi appeared to be broken out from his daze. The smile that graced his lips, Vikram had missed him so very much over the past few months.

Homi marched down to him across the room and swept hi up in his arms in a tight hug.

These tight hugs are Bhaba family signatures!

He felt lips pressing kisses to his neck “Of course not Vikram, I missed you very much.”

Vikram pulled back to look into Homi’s eyes, “Missed you too Homi.” He stopped short. And with doe eyes he breathed out. “your Ma miss you also.”

Vikram instantly melted in his arms. He breathed in the so very familiar odour of his lover, Vikram mushed his nose deeper to Homi’s pronounced collar bones. Were they this much pronounced?

Vikram didn’t miss the way Homi untucked himself back from him. He pressed on.

The words splashed shock waves down Homi’s blood.

“Everyone’s saying how you’re not attending TIFR, you seem to have vanished” Homi turned around walked back to the desk slowly, and this time Vikram followed him, “That you have gone insane.”

“You believe that too?”

Vikram looked around the dishevelled state of the room and the tousled form of its owner, “I mean you have called a British ‘a massive cunt’ in the very same party meant in honour of them and got punched. To be honest I always knew you are a bit insane.”

Vikram walked closer and took Homi’s arm in his and rested his cheeks on the shoulder blades, “The TIFR, your projects, Homi, go back. It has been your dream.”

Homi laughed out, “Really?”

He instantly followed Homi’s line of sight at the framed photograph of Jehangir Bhaba Sr.

“He’d have wanted the same for you.”

After countless hugs and kisses of assurance and promises and need, Vikram literally pushed Homi to his bedroom adjacent to this work place.

After putting a fast asleep Homi to be his bed, Vikram came back to the desk. He looked through the papers of maddening calculations; he could make out what Homi was working on. And it s a topic they would discuss later.

Into the dark of the night, the moonlight shining through the window, Vikram made out the faint outline of Homi’s face.

Homi is insane, but Homi is his insane.

For now he set his hands on the framed photo of Homi’s father.

With a smile he went to put the frame back to its original place when he saw another paper buried under it, the other piles of papers around.

Your son is destined to do great. I promise I’ll make sure of it.

Keeping back the frame, and picking up the paper, Vikram blushed madly, a thousand emotions waved inside him.

Vikram himself could not believe how it looked so beautiful on the piece paper in the thin light, with a little signature and a date below.

It was drawing, a portrait sketch.

For Homi had sketched with his precise strokes of pencil a perfect drawing of Vikram.

It was a little over noon, Homi woke up.

He sat up on his bed and saw a little note under a glass of water.

The room felt a little hot, blazing sun shining out of the draped heavy curtains. In all the past few months, when Homi had walked in and out of his ‘sleeping ventures’, he had never felt this refreshed. His constant headache was gone and he could as if breathe freely.

“Shave and get a bath. You stink. Aunty and I will be in the kitchen.”

Vikram.

Vikram Sarabhai.

He collected his thoughts about last night. Vikram said a few words and all his pain seem to have just washed away.

Homi looked at himself through the mirror as he dragged the shaving blade down his cheek.

The one man who had pulled his life upside down. The one man who could keep him in control. The one man who he loved so much.

It’s time to make his presence to be known again.

Through the dining hall, down the doors of the kitchen, Homi in his best coat-pants, heard giggling coming out.

But first...

“...You won’t believe Vikram!” his mother laughed.

Followed her a laugh from Vikram.

God! It had been so long he had heard his mother laugh so freely.

“And what won’t Vikram believe Ma?”

It was his mother his eyes went to first.

Homi called out to them standing at the kitchen door, unwilling to break this duo of his favourite humans.

Really, she had been the same gorgeous as she always was. He could see how his mother was eyeing up her son in the clean attire, out of his shell.

“That your face so red because of chilli you chewed in because you thought it’s a fried potato stick!” Vikram piped in and chuckled.

“Uff! That same Salli Boti incident, Ma!” Homi whined as he walked towards her to hug her.

“And we’re making it today. Vikram’s helping me.”

Homi danced his eyebrows, “Really? Didn’t know Dr. Sarabhai could cook.”

Vikram saw the mother and her son as if reunited after years and years of separation. Both of them needed this.

Vikram threw a kitchen towel at him at his chest. Homi quickly caught it.

“Oh you know it Dr. Bhaba! You’re the one to slide into my quarters for dinners.”

“Of course, how can I forget it? Its bhindi ki sabzi everyday!” Homi said dubiously.

“What Homi!” Vikram pouted, “No its not! Its only one day, and you bought a fancy lavish wine to drink it with—”

“Now now enough two of you”, Mehereen interrupted them with tears of laugh crinkled at the corners of her eyes, “let’s sit down for lunch. Its late already. Homi, see what Vikram has cooked for you.”

“I hope it’s not Bhindi again!”

Vikram rolled his eyes, “Yes Homi it will, trust me.”

“What is this Vikram?” Homi’s eyes were wide as saucers. He had stopped short while trying to pull the chair out from the table, looking at the pale yellowish dal-like liquid in the steel bowl. Green curry leaves and corianders were floating. “Are you sure it will help me with my appetite?”

When Feroz came in to set the plates, Homi really had had to dodge carefully from Vikram’s attacks with the metal spoons.

Homi stared up at Vikram who was serving some freshly prepared rice on his plate, “That I do”, he smiled. “But I don’t know about this.”

“This is kadhi. Ma used to make this for me, and I loved it. It’s my favourite. And I tried out her recipe, so I hope you’ll like it too.”

Ten minutes later, Homi was helping himself to another bowl of this ‘elixir of life’ as he called it.

Turned out, his mother had made salli boti, and Vikram had learned everything step by step. Vikram was so amazed by the mixture of so many spices and condiments an apparently the fried potato sticks was what he enjoyed the most.

“You two make quite a pair in cooking.” Homi said chewing the last few bites from his plates. “Parsi food mixed with Gujrati, I can totally see this in the near future.”

Homi realised he had missed this delicacies, with eating some mere food to almost nothing, only when he felt like to eat.

“Whatever fills your belly, Homi.” Hir mother answers. “I am just happy to see you back at the dinner table. Both of you at my dinner table.”

“Homi’s father talked of you Vikram, after he returned from your trial.” Her eyes were a little nostalgic, “He had said how you jumped in to defend the madness he tried to pull off, that you provoked him.” She chuckled, “But no one can tell him off if he wants to spark a little madness.”

Vikram and Homi looked at each other, a fond look passed in between them.

“Speak for yourself, rocket boy.” Homi silently placed his hand on Vikram’s thigh under the table.

Vikram spoke, “How can he not? This world needs his madness.”

‘I need you’ was left unspoken, yet known.

Rocket Boys (2022-)

🎬The story of two extraordinary men, Homi Bhabha and Vikram Ambalal Sarabhai, who created history while building India's future.

📝 A phenomenal story of extra ordinary men which is filmed, acted, directed in an exquisite fashion.

I loved it so much that I binge watched the entire series this weekend. It's thought provoking, intelligent, inspirational and just beautiful. If you enjoyed series like 'Manhattan' then this is a show for you.

The two leads played by Jim Sarbh and Ishwak Singh are just brilliant.

I loved how the show focused on the scientists and didn't get into the politics. It didn't distract from the story.

Does anyone know who was responsible for the set and production design? It was so beautiful.

The series is available on Sony Liv (I used the app) in the UK.

First Ever Delhi based NGO talking on 'Population Control': Mobius Foundation in partnership with Zee Media Group

Mobius Foundation in partnership with WION is taking the vision of the Government of India forward, and launched a one-year-long social initiative called 'Mission Sustainability - Population v/s Planet'. The campaign commenced with a two-hour-long Thought Leadership Conclave on February 20, 2021. The launch was graced by Dr. Harsh Vardhan, Union Minister for Health and Family Welfare and Amitabh Kanth, CEO, NITI AAYOG.

Expressing his satisfaction at the timely importance of holding the event, Dr. Harsh Vardhan said, "More people require more resources, and as the population increases, the earth's resources deplete. The population boom has been affecting the planet and the human race in many adverse ways. People in developing countries like India, feel the impact of environmental problems more acutely." - Quoted (indiaeducationdiary.in)

On this occasion, Amitabh Kanth, CEO, NITI AAYOG said, "'Family Planning' is considered the smartest development investment. For India to realise its sustainable development goals and economic aspirations, it is important to ensure that people have informed access to contraception and quality family planning services."

The launch had visionaries and dignitaries on board from across the country, and from different fields. Mr Rameshwar Prasad Gupta, Sec. Ministry of Environment Forest and Climate Change, Dr Madhavan Nair, Sec. Ministry of Earth Science India, Ms Poonam Muttreja, Executive Director, Population Foundation of India (PFI), Ms Shailaja Chandra, Former Secretary to the Government of India and Former Chief Secretary, Delhi, Mr Manu Gaur, President, Taxpayers Association of Bharat (TAXAB), Kartikeya Vikram Sarabhai, Founder and Director, CEE, Prof. Saroj Yadav Dean (Academic) NCERT, K.S. James, Director, International Institute for Population Sciences (IIPS) were part of the launch.

The complete 2-hour launch was divided in two three robust segments, each setting up the contest of the year-long awareness programme. The three segments were:

SESSION 1: POPULATION VS PLANET: SUSTAINING THE BALANCE SESSION 2: POPULATION STABILISATION: THE ROAD MAP SESSION 3: EDUCATION AND AWARENESS

To watch the launch, visit: https://youtu.be/ADEA06gbUv4

There was an exclusive one-on-one fireside chat with the Chairman of Mobius Foundation, Mr. Pradip Burman, where he mentioned that the "Mobius Foundation is focusing on two main objectives EDUCATION and POPULATION STABILISATION and emphasised that two solutions which can be implemented right away are RECYCLING and RENEWABLE ENERGY. If we can attain 100% of these two things, then our problem is solved."

Dr Ram Boojh, CEO, Mobius Foundation along with other panellists shed light on why we should focus on education and awareness around 'Population Stabilisation'. Points brought in focus were 'education leads to lower birth rates and slows population growth. This makes it easier for countries to develop. A more-educated workforce also makes poverty eradication and economic growth easier to achieve. The literacy rate is directly proportional to the fertility rate. Lack of formal education on matters related to population, like family planning, sexual education, reproductive behaviour, cultural and social values, and contraception is missing from the educational structure. This should not be a controversial subject, rather taken to the younger generation and young couples openly.

Mobius Foundation with this campaign is working to put the spotlight back on human population growth. Programme is titled "MISSION SUSTAINABILITY- POPULATION VS. PLANET" for English audience on WION Channel and "संभलना ज़रूरी है - जनसंख्या बनाम प्रकृति" for Hindi and regional audience on Zee News and it's regional network. Under this campaign, topics on how over population is responsible for exerting pressure in these areas or developing these issues are Climate Change, Bio Diversity and Natural Resources, Energy Crisis, Air Pollution, Jobs and Housing, Water Pollution, Depletion of Non-Renewable Resources, Education and Empowerment, Waste Generation, Education, Over Consumption Patterns etc.

About the Mobius Foundation:

The Mobius Foundation is a non-profit organisation, committed to supporting sustainability, empowering technologies, strengthening systems, encouraging healthy behaviour and focusing on education. The Foundation intends to create sustainable, culturally relevant solutions, enabling communities to break longstanding practices that are detrimental to human existence. The Mobius Foundation has been working in India since 2015, collaborating with a diverse range of civil society partners and NGO partners to contribute to achieving a sustainable India.

Abdul Kalam: Genius with wings of fire, and feet firm on the ground

Indeed, even as Abdul Kalam provided the skies with ‘wings of fire,’ he had his feet immovably established on ground, in Thiruvananthapuram, the embraced home as a space researcher.

Previous President ‘rocket man’ Kalam had gone through over 20 years of his expert life as researcher with ISRO in the Kerala capital.

Basic TASTES

A man of basic tastes and high thinking, the thoughtful friendship he had for the proprietor of a little league restaurant he disparaged during his stay here is a piece of old stories.

To such an extent, on his visits to the city, President Kalam would send word for Parameshwaran Nair of the Sreeguruvayoorappan Hotel here to Raj Bhavan to talk merriments.

While working with the ISRO office at Thumba close here (Vikram Sarabhai Space Center), he remained at a non-descript lodging house, strolling good ways from the inn.

Parameshwaran Nair’s family clearly reviews the ‘ridiculously early times’ during the evenings when ‘Kalam Sir’ would bring in for his cheap night suppers.

Charming PRESENCE

He had the vibes of a virtuoso however was buoyant in the manner he behaved; energetic with his developments; talked less, if by any stretch of the imagination; yet wore an incapacitating grin, says the family.

During the center of a discussion, one would every so often discover him out to lunch even while holding eye-to-eye to eye connection.

However, he would gather himself, plentifully look for expressions of remorse ‘for straying a piece’ and readily get from where he had finished.

“His was such charming nearness. I realized he would proceed to turn into an extraordinary man.”

Back home at the VSSC, he had revealed unmistakable fascination for the way the ‘indigenous space transport’ or the Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV), an esteemed undertaking, was coming to fruition.

‘SPACE SHUTTLE’

Indeed, even as of late as a quarter of a year back when he visited the Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology, an esteemed college at Valiamala close here of which he is the Chancellor, he had checked with the RLV progress.

He was obviously eager to have been informed that the space transport would be prepared for dispatch by September or October.

The then VSSC chief, MC Dathan, had looked for his quality during the hour of the dispatch which he had promptly concurred, sources at the middle review.

The dispatch would have been the VSSC’s method for offering back to Kalam who had propelled it to ‘think ambitiously’ and take up the dispatch of the RLV as well as make an achievement of the proposed human space flight crucial.

Book Review & Summary: Wings of Fire by APJ Abdul Kalam

Written by Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam, honorable President of India. ‘Wings of Fire’ is an autobiography capable of inspiring even a common man into becoming a technologist. A well composed novel which revolves around the life of Mr. Kalam a renowned scientist as he shares his experiences and the minutest of details of his life. I like the way the book has been put together along with the delicate facts of his personal life. His family background, the pain and suffering he went through and recollected himself is commendable. The day I finished reading this book, such an influential personality impacted me very deeply and it gave me a glimpse of how the power of positive thinking can help achieve all odds.

This autobiography comprises of a balance of details of the technological and political challenges faced to prosper in its aeronautical and space program. It is also a success story of Dr.Kalam’s participative management practices.

Also, it gives an insight into the lives of Hindus and Muslims of India and their relationships among each other and among multi religious communities in India.

“Wings of Fire” is an account of a young boy who tries to achieve his dreams beating all odds. The story emphasizes the importance of family, relatives and friends in helping achieve each other’s goals and turning dreams to reality. It teaches us to become a patriotic citizen of our country shown in the book as a determinant India and countless effort of its scientists in achieving superiority in aeronautical, space and rocket technology.

This book offers an important lesson of finding success from failures of Indian space and rocket infrastructural programs. A good presentation of the role of other renowned scientists moulding our country’s future. This book is full of information and is a recommended choice for every student, because this book has the influence and power to motivate a person to stand out in life. “Wings of Fire” is a unique model of accomplishing one’s goals, while fulfilling the promise to its country.

As I read through this book I felt the same humility that Mr.Kalam felt when he was engaged into the program. A friend recommended me this book and I am glad that he did.

This book is an biography of India’s president Abdul Kalam which has been co-authored with famous Arun Tiwari, who once had worked with Kalam in the field of military defense research. As from the book itself, “this is the story of Kalam who flourished from darkness into the bright sunlight, his personal and professional effort. . . . . . . This is also the narrative of independent India’s struggle for technological self adequacy & sovereignty in defense systems – a story as much regarding politics, as it is regarding science.”

The story tells us about Kalam’s rise from a humble lower-middle class family & his narrative of India’s efforts in rocketry & space technology. Segregated into four sections, the book gradually reaches for the stars – Orientation, Creation, Propitiation & Contemplation. As a tribute to his mother and father, the book is dedicated to his parents.

The first segment relates to the early life of Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Kalam. His recollections of the early days are very suggestive of good old Magudi set up. He remembers his parents, relatives and teachers his most influential characters in the book. Adding color to the section are pictures of that time. This segment covers all his early learning and travels.

The next segment is related to Kalam’s further education and work experience and his involvement with projects of military defense and space, primarily the SLV3. This part has many scientific details and is an introduction to defense and space research organizations. Kalam is an ‘aam aadmi’ at heart, this is shown in the book in many of his narratives through his interaction with even the insignificant people in the hierarchy like Dr Brahm prakash, Prof Satish Dhawan and Prof Vikram Sarabhai.

The third segment covers the years from 80-91 when Kalam is posted from ISRO to military defense labs. Filled with many pictures, this section too keeps us entertained. And to imagine he worked mostly in government institutions where bureaucracy and red tapes are the order of the day.

We have all heard of SLV3, PSLV, Akaash, Naga, Agni, Trishul in the news and these technological achievements marks the success of what is now, one of the strongest and determined aeronautical and space organization of India.

The last segment is connected with the later years where Kalam is bestowed upon with series of awards, his thought and his visions for a proud India. It is almost impossible not to be inspired by the life of Mr.Kalam. This segment along with the conclusion also mentions of Kalams dream for the year 2020.

The book itself is written in simple English and it seems as if the author is speaking out to the reader directly. One must read this for the following reasons – India’s greatest scientist Abdul Kalam’s story, military and defense research, missile technology, India’s vital space programs and general knowledge. Throughout the book there are morals that are for the grooming purposes for everyone, even for the administrators. Abdul Kalam tells us how the finest of people can be brought out. Abdul Kalam is referred to as ‘spiritual scientist’, his visions and contributions to his country.

As a young man, Abdul Kalam was inquisitive and keen to learn more and more about science. Kalam’s mentors persuaded him to ponder onto the great opportunity into space science and by achieving this India will become self-sufficient in aeronautical and rocket science. He was the first one with a vision that India has great potential in its space and satellite development of launch vehicles. SLV’s provide as the foundation for a range of state-of-the-art missile technology in India’s military.

From an American viewpoint, ‘when everyone is shouting bloody murder and weapon proliferation, Abdul Kalam’s memories of France’s taking away of support and fake accusations of German help serve as a alarming reminder that embargoing a country simply cannot work if the country’s public is strong enough to control their own destiny. It’s worrying that there is little debate on the ethics of an impoverished country developing nuclear weapons and deploying delivery systems. . . .But that’s almost totally lost in the argument of self-reliance, a determination to never again surrender to foreign rule.

Abdul Kalam, an optimist, made helped India become self sufficient in its space and rocket technology. The book also inspires the youth of India living nationally and internationally that they appreciate the one marvel achieved by their nations hero, Abdul Kalam and strive themselves to become strong in every area of their profession and make India prosper for eternity.

Abdul Kalam, the man with many names. He is most trusted man in India according to survey, He is also known as ‘the missile man’ of India. Abdul Kalam will be cherished long after he is gone, the man whom India loves.

The book is a journey into Abdul Kalams life; the book however does not cover his presidency days that were published before he became the president of India. Abdul Kalam stayed in ‘Ramesh Varam’ which is famous for its ‘Shiv’ temple. The famous temple was few kilometers journey from Abdul Kalam’s home, a Muslim dominated area.

Abdul Kalam use to sell newspapers to help his brother, was good friend of the priest of the temple and his father was respectable man whom people used to turn for advice. Abdul Kalam writes about his school days, his brother in law’s influence on him and his teachers in the initial chapters. He also writes about his financial challenges he faced during the time he was into education.

The later chapters are some of Vikram Sarabhai’s immense contribution in establishment of space research center and opening up new feet’s for coming scientists. Abdul kalam’s efforts in association with other scientist would make ordinary Indian understand the zeal , the effort of human soul in making India , a well respected country in space science.

As a mentor of Abdul Kalam, Vikram Sarabhai had expert management skills and team building skills with which he groomed Abdul Kalam into becoming a scientist to remember for years to come.

In one of his meeting with Vikram Sarabhai at 3 a.m, Abdul Kalam worked hours at stretch with his colleague for presentation to defense minister and he forgets an important personal event to attend to, this shows Kalams determination for his work and his country to succeed.

ISRO, prithvi, agni, nag, trishul are some of the achievements which every Indian is proud of. It was a moment to cherish when India made its first journey to the moon and along with this journey to success was Abdul Kalams belief that nothing can stop India from reaching the stars and he certainly proved himself as one of the stars.

Considering that this book comes from a scientist, this book does have little scientific narration. SLV, Geo satellite, composite material, mechanical engineering and such things. The journey itself always has technical errors especially when it’s scientific in nature. Abdul Kalam, like the man himself forced his will to victory over failures, fears and disappointments.

At the core, the book is about the great Indian dream. A wish that all the founding fathers of a country have, a wish fulfilled by Abdul Kalam.

A country which is divided by religion and caste. A country which has a corrupt political system and where money rules, Abdul Kalam still made millions of citizens of India a proud nation. Aftermath

एक बार तिरुवनंतपुरम में समुद्र के पास एक बुजुर्ग श्रीमद्भगवद्गीता पढ़ रहे थे। तभी एक नास्तिक और होनहार नौजवान उनके पास आकर बैठा, उसने उन पर कटाक्ष किया कि लोग भी कितने मूर्ख है विज्ञान के युग मे गीता जैसी ओल्ड फैशन्ड बुक पढ़ रहे हैं। उसने उन सज्जन से कहा कि आप यदि यही समय विज्ञान को दे देते तो अब तक देश ना जाने कहां पहुंच चुका होता, उन सज्जन ने उस नौजवान से परिचय पूछा तो उसने बताया कि वो कोलकाता से है और विज्ञान की पढ़ाई की है अब यहां भाभा परमाणु अनुसंधान में अपना कैरियर बनाने आया है। विचार मंथन: अच्छे व्यवहार का रहस्य : संत तुकाराम आगे उसने कहा कि आप भी थोड़ा ध्यान वैज्ञानिक कार्यो में लगाये भगवद्गीता पढ़ते रहने से आप कुछ हासिल नही कर सकोगे। सज्जन मुस्कुराते हुए जाने के लिये उठे, उनका उठना था की 4 सुरक्षाकर्मी वहां उनके आसपास आ गए, आगे ड्राइवर ने कार लगा दी जिस पर लाल बत्ती लगी थी। लड़का घबराया और उसने उनसे पूछा "आप कौन है??" मनुष्य का अहंकार ओछेपन का चिह्न है : डॉ. प्रणव पंड्या उन सज्जन ने अपना नाम बताया 'विक्रम साराभाई' जिस भाभा परमाणु अनुसंधान में लड़का अपना कैरियर बनाने आया था उसके अध्यक्ष वही थे। उस समय विक्रम साराभाई के नाम पर 13 अनुसंधान केंद्र थे, साथ ही साराभाई को तत्कालीन प्रधानमंत्री श्रीमती इंदिरा गांधी जी ने परमाणु योजना का अध्यक्ष भी नियुक्त किया था। अब शर्मसार होने की बारी लड़के की थी वो साराभाई के चरणों मे रोते हुए गिर पड़ा। कोई सदगुरु अपने शिष्य से न तो कभी अपमानित होता है और न ही वह उसका त्याग करता है : संत कबीर तब साराभाई ने बहुत अच्छी बात कही, उन्होंने कहा "हर निर्माण के पीछे निर्माणकर्ता अवश्य है। इसलिए फर्क नही पड़ता ये महाभारत है या आज का भारत, ईश्वर को कभी मत भूलो। आज नास्तिक गण विज्ञान का नाम लेकर कितना नाच ले मगर इतिहास गवाह है कि विज्ञान ईश्वर को मानने वाले आस्तिकों ने ही रचा है, फिर चाहे वो किसी भी धर्म को मानने वाले क्यो ना हो। ईश्वर सत्य है और सत्य हमेशा रहेगा। ***************** source https://www.patrika.com/religion-and-spirituality/daily-thought-vichar-manthan-vikram-sarabhai-5624119/

Meet The Woman Who Leads India’s Manned Mission To Space – Dr. VR Lalithambika

Anjala Farahath May 27, 2019

We have been told time and again, without a second thought that women are difficult to understand. While I wouldn’t want to waste time debating that, allow me to re-phrase that statement for those who hold that thought. Women aren’t difficult to understand, but they understand even the most difficult of things. You don’t agree? Okay, we’ll give you a reason to agree: For some of us, mathematics was a subject we loved to loathe, and for others, it was science that we chose to keep at an arm’s length. Some of us got bogged down by family pressure, and others chose to lead simple lives. However, neither of this was the case for Dr. VR Lalithambika, the scientist who leads the team for India’s first human space flight program.

In the August of 2018, on the Independence Day, PM Narendra Modi set the 2022 deadline for India’s first Human Space Flight. He said that by the year 2022, either a daughter or a son of the country will go to space with a tricolor in hand. Although it wasn’t determined who would execute the mission, one thing was certain: the veteran woman scientist of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), Dr. VR Lalithambika, was named the leader of this highly ambitious program. Now, that’s something that deserves a round of applause and a mouthful of appreciation, isn’t it? After all, it’s not every day that a woman scientist is recognised and lauded for her contributions.

So, Who Is Dr. VR Lalithambika?

Laughing colours

With three decades at ISRO as a control systems engineer, Dr. Lalithambika is a skilled taskmaster. During her long and eventful tenure, she has worked on all Indian rockets PSLV (Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle), and GSLV (Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle), and the indigenous space shuttle. The 57-year-old scientist has played a prominent role in the execution of over 100 space missions and was the key member of a team that carried out a record launch of 104 satellites simultaneously, on February 15, 2017.

Lalithambika was a Deputy Director at the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC), Thiruvananthapuram. She has led the team to review the design of rockets— including the (GSLV-Mk-3), the rocket that would be carrying out the human space mission. She has also worked on building auto-pilot for rockets.

As a winner of the Astronautical Society of India excellence award for her remarkable contribution and work in launch vehicle technology, she was chosen by ISRO chairman K Sivan, director of ISRO, to spearhead the Human Space Flight program. This program will make India the fourth country to launch a human in space.

The Responsibilities That Lie On Her Shoulder

As the one leading the mission to space, she’s undoubtedly going to be, the main woman accountable for everything. Since the inception of the human spaceflight plan by ISRO, the agency has been constantly on its toes, developing technologies that form the structure of the mission. Lalithambika is directly responsible for the workability of these technologies. She needs to make sure that these technologies are built as systems and tested for perfection. Additionally, she also has the added onus on herself to collaborate with the country’s DRDO, the Indian Air Force, the academia, and foreign institutions to execute the mission.

What Drew Dr. VR Lalithambika To Space Science?

Indiatimes

At some point or the other, the genes, intellect, passions, and interests of our parents and grandparents find their way into our lives. Lathikambika’s life was no different. Her grandfather, who was a multi-faceted personality, played a significant role in drawing her interest in space sciences. He was a mathematician, an astronomer, and a gadget-maker. Needless to say, Lathikambika grew under the shadows of science and technology because of her grandfather. To feed her growing curiosity, her grandfather used to alert her about rocket launches so that she could watch the sounding rocket launches from her house that was in close proximity to Thumba Rocket Testing Center, Thiruvananthapuram. To add to this exposure, her father’s engineering profession too influenced her interest. After all, coming from a family of engineers, her childhood wasn’t all about hopscotch and coloring books, it was about science and technology.

To lead a manned mission to space is no joke, but Lalithambika intends to give it her all. When this inspiring woman was asked to name one female scientist whom she admires, she was quick to name Marie Curie. In fact, even her daughter, a doctor herself, admires the work of Marie Curie. Quite understandably, this answer comes from the fact that there were few women scientists back then who gave their heart and soul to research work. Nobel Laureate Marie Curie broke stereotypes and conquered the field of science when women scientists were still a taboo. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that, just like her, Dr. Lalithambika too is one of those women who believe in doing justice to their passion regardless of their gender.

Amidst strong gender bias that’s plaguing almost every segment of the working environment, Dr. Lalithambika has yet again proved it that gender doesn’t define capability, only hard work and determination does.

Did you know about Dr. Lalaithambika? What do you think of the space mission? Let us know in the comments below.
