Amazing India – Golden Moon at Gurdum
Posted by Prashant - 08/03/10 at 03:03:29 amI always believed that every photograph speaks a story, especially if you are traveling and photographing in India, then it has to have a story to tell. I absolutely love this country. Every kilometer of it is filled with a different colour, a different hue. So when I had good fortune to travel around and take few photographs I wanted to tell my side of story as to what inspired me to take that photograph. So in a quest to tell the story of how I connected with the photograph that I took, I have started this “Amazing India” series.
It started on facebook and will continue there. I am also posting the same on my blog also. The blog allows me to be more verbose than facebook. Anyways here another photo and its story.
Amazing India – Our date with the moon is not a recent phenomenon. Our paeans of the moon go back more than 2000 years before Christ. Rigveda pleads in earnest supplication to the moon asking it to enlighten us in the right path. Such was the celebration of this celestial body by our people. The romance has continued and only strengthened with every passing year. We have crawled, toddled,walked, ran, stumbled, fallen in our quest to know this celestial body which our ancestors have revered so much, but with every fall we have rolled over, dusted ourselves and started all over. It is because of this relentless perseverance that today our own Chandrayaan-I has made headline news.
As I watched this golden moon in Gurdum, my chest ballooned with pride. Somewhere in the outer realms of space, in the black surrounding this golden ball there was a 1000 odd kilograms of electronic equipment called Chandrayaan-I, which alone, on behalf of a billion people, represented the scientific prowess of an amazing India.
