Its almost 1:30 am here in India. As i am browsing through TV channels, all i come across is the news of the Atlantis(the space shuttle) that has safely landed at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. As if it were the first time news channels were broadcasting anything regarding that topic or Suneeta Williams should i say! Kinda similar to Apollo 13 story, but this is set in much more modern era with live images broadcasted. I'm 75% sure, the creative minds in hollywood are already working on a killer script :-)
Well, to be honest, I am sick of seeing and hearing the same news for past three days now. I agree they had some technical difficulties during their mission, and by Gods grace everything worked out well and have returned safely. But, do i have to suffer and know each and every other detail there is about this one specific astronaut just coz she is Indian(by skin ofcourse)!!By now i even know where she was born, raised, whom shes married to, blah blah...I saw people in Calcutta or somewhere on TV performing prayers in front of her picture for her safe return and all!!! What has she done for India that everyones so proud of and cares so much??? What I noticed was this news just didn't get old for past three days and i am just frustrated out of my fcukin mind by now. Again, i am only talking about the (Indian)media over here! By now, I'm sure every other kid on the block knows who Suneeta Williams is in India.
Let me ask you this!!What about the rest, who were with her and played a equal part in the whole mission and were in danger as much as her?

Does going to the space, spending 6 months up there and facing difficuties while on the way back, all it takes for a woman to become a household name throughout India, who according to me is not even an Indian?
