The idea was greeted
With doubts & qualms
Yet, you dared
To cross usual realms
The task was huge
and constraints many
The time was scant
and you owned a penny!
To the world, it was
A quixotic fantasy
For you, a step closer
to reach the Galaxy
You rolled up your sleeves
and bowed down to work
On days and nights,
Even amid the murk
To make the impossible
possible, You had vowed
With merest luxuries,
Hardly any rest allowed
And then the day dawned..
Yaan entered the Martian air!!
A triumph of mankind,
Unparalleled and so pure!
You made India proud
You gave us a red letter day
Take a bow, Scientists!
Your dream is reality today
To explore the unknown,
It was a small start
Brahma is now smiling, as we're
An inch closer to his heart!
With doubts & qualms
Yet, you dared
To cross usual realms

| 24th September 2014 - India's Mangalyaan entered the Martian orbit in first attempt. |
The task was huge
and constraints many
The time was scant
and you owned a penny!
To the world, it was
A quixotic fantasy
For you, a step closer
to reach the Galaxy
You rolled up your sleeves
and bowed down to work
On days and nights,
Even amid the murk
To make the impossible
possible, You had vowed
With merest luxuries,
Hardly any rest allowed
And then the day dawned..
Yaan entered the Martian air!!
A triumph of mankind,
Unparalleled and so pure!
You made India proud
You gave us a red letter day
Take a bow, Scientists!
Your dream is reality today
To explore the unknown,
It was a small start
Brahma is now smiling, as we're
An inch closer to his heart!
