We are on our way to the moon. Fingers crossed.
I cannot hide the tingle of excitement and pride as I watch the launch ! The fourth stage has been deployed --- What a feeling ! Infinite amazement ! Un-describable ! If that is a word. How can such things be described in words ?
On a smaller scale, we are looking good to get a world champion here Anand defeats Kramnik to lead by 3 points in the World Chess Championship,
And perhaps the least significant one is where India comprehensively beats the pretend world champions by some 300 runs in Mohali.
A very good day indeed !!

P.P.S:
Another thing to note:
The net budget for Chandrayan is ~ 80 million USD. Barack Obama collected ~ 150 million USD for his presidential bid on Sep '08
i.e - India is sending an entire spacecraft to the moon, in about as much money as Barack can collect in 15 days. Incredible.
