High Tech SocietyBy: Jay Shah | Friday , 2 Jan '09 9:36:24 AM Reply | Forward Congratulations to Indian scientists. They have made Indians all over the world very proud. Scientist should also take up another mission; they have to help India develop into a high tech infrastructure country. They should help in high speed transportation, telecom and networking.

ChandrayaanBy: Mohammadi Doctor | Friday , 2 Jan '09 9:05:41 AM Reply | Forward Congratulations to our space scientists. They have done every Indian proud. We are now far ahead of our neighbours in the region in space programme. I only hope that these establishments are well secured from any terrorists attack. I am sure our scientist and security agencies must have taken care of it.

Kudos to our aerospace scientistsBy: Hemant | Friday , 2 Jan '09 3:31:23 AM Reply | Forward Kudos to the Scientists! You makes every Indian Proud. In a dismal year the scientist brought cheers . Like NASA spun off a lot of pragmatic inventions like velcro etc hopefully the scientists in their main quest come up with similar inventions which help the common Indian in our remote and poverty ridden places too. Keep up the good work!
