NAME-Kalpana Chawla
- I just begin to write this blog by adderssing my role model KALPANA CHAWLA-THE UNBEATABLE WOMAN . The day when I stepped out to this outerworld , I was just inspired by her thoughts and views. During those days I was just puzzled by some of the questions like????????? 1.why Kalpana is said to be an Indian born american astronaut, though she has spent a part of her life in India? 2.why she moved abroad for her further studies ?3.why she couldnot do her discoveries in major space center of India like ISRO?and many more questions....................... But i got the answer of my questions by reading her biography where she always used to say that I HAVE NOT BORN FOR ANY ONE CORNER OF THE COUNTRY BUT THE WHOLE WORLD IS MY NATIVE LAND ......From that day I came to know that INVENTIONS and DISCOVERIES must not be limited to a frame......So moreover it was a great loss to our PLANET rather than our nation...So friends let we know something about this GREAT PERSONALITY
