No other experience comes close !

"Imagine yourself strapped into a spacecraft...
feel the roar of the engines beneath you ...
the force of nearly 1 million pounds thrusting you into outer space.
You have never felt so alive."

Imagine !! No other experience comes close !

The catch lines of Space Adventure.

Was reading the blog of Anousheh Ansari, the first woman space tourist

Her blog: http://spaceblog.xprize.org/

20 millions $s well spent.

I always wanted to be an astronomer and thats why I really liked the call today. Wish I can make it to space atleast as a tourist one day. For that I would have to make lots of money and get over the effects of zero G. For those who don't know me, I get sick on a roller coaster ride in Six Flags, forget zero G !!
Hopefully ...some day !!

Salutations Martina !!

Being an ardent sports lover, I had to post one blog sooner or later ! And so, here it goes!


Salutations, Martina Navratilova ! Her last match on the tour ended with a win in the mixed doubles final at the US Open. For the statistics lovers - Navratilova, who turns 50 on October 18, has won 18 Grand Slam titles and 167 total singles triumphs. She also racked up 178 doubles crowns, with 41 coming in major tournaments (31 women’s doubles, 10 mixed doubles). Phew ! That takes some doing. But the most noticeable fact is her age. I ask how? And most of us 20 something ppl are on the sofa lazing around and complaining of tiredness.


Andre Agassi, also played his last match. Here is another outstanding athlete. On the tour for ages, having gone through the highs and lows, he keeps rising with his never-say-die attitude.


Salutations to both of you !! I wish we can put in the same amount of hard work and have the same will in whatever field we have choosen.
