Achaa din may never aayega

OROP- The fight  -- Government Vs ExServicemen -- is going on !  ExServicemen (read Senior Citizens )  are planning to enter an "Awareness campaign " in the States due for election.

What does this men to us ?  "Buraa din ahead "  and "Achaa din may never aayega ".

Congratulations Naughty Boy ! Congratulations ISRO !!

"The naughty boy is now tamed.  He is the most adored boy now ! And that's the Onam gift to the Nation"

This is what an official said in his breif speech over Doordarshan, after the successful launch of GSLV-D6 yesterday.

ISROfef  congratulates all at ISRO for doing this great job !  And ISROfef  is too happy that atleast one from the teamISRO acknowledged the contributions of the former ISROites.  Thank you Umamaheswaran  !!
