My Wanderings 103 A perception with deception towards none - 2

It was really a spectacular event and a proud  moment for India , when  Chandriyan- 3's lander Vikram had a soft landing  on the south pole surface of Moon On the 23rd August 2023 at 6.04 PM . Moreover, It was a great achievement and testament to the 61 year old legacy of  India's space programme ,its perseverance and innovation from modest beginnings to the giant leaps. India has become the first nation to softly land its space craft on the virgin south pole of the moon and 4rth nation after America , Russia and China to land softly on the moon. 
The credit for this grand leap should go to Vikram Sarabai, the founder of space mission in India  and his talented successors alongwith all other scientists and engineers related with the mission. In his time  or still a question is  raised whether a developing country like India should go for  expensive space programme. Vikram  Sarabai  collected data  from all the quarters  and came to a convincing conclusion that 'space technology is essential for all round development of India. Then he  said confidently that question is not whether a developing country should adopt space technology rather the question is whether it can afford to ignore it. Thus began the journey from the Indian National committee for Space research INCOSPAR in 1962 which was later on renamed as Indian Space Research Organisation ISRO in 1969. While Vikram and Pragyan , the lander and rover continue to do research on the Moon,
ISRO  is now going ahead with launch of Aditya L1 integrated with PSLV, a solar mission set for the date 11.50 am on 2nd  September 2023 at Sriharkota. 
It was really encouraging to see the flight of India's Pragyanand to defeat Number 3 and Number 2 in world chess championship held at Azherbaijan. He also gave a tough fight to numer 1 , Carlson, but could only make it out to be ist runner up . It made Carlson , the world grandmaster to say that if next time Preg will not be the world chess  champion then who else. 
It was again a happy moment for India when Neeraj chopra became the world champion by winning the world javelin throw  Gold at Budapest , yet another stamp of confirmation as India's best ever athlete. 
The news of more student suicides in Kota was really disgusting . The two Neet aispairants committing  suicide in a single day and number of suicides reaching to 22 in year 2023 up to month of August only is really alarming. Every year not only in kota but throughout India most of the students  kill themselves for not reaching to the target set up by their parents and teachers with out judging their capability  for the target. Every parent sending their wards to kota factory see them as future Doctors or Engineers , which appears to them a safe future for  their children  . It is not necessary because only few  Doctors make money and name and most of the engineers remain unemployed. 
There are other professions also which do not need engineering as basic degree and they also make their name in that line and earn a large fortune. 
Administration  of kota has  come up with new remedies for avoiding suicides i.e by  installing spring fans and fixing nets on the balconies of hostels and colleges but they have not come up with remedies to nip this evil in  the bud. For this whole education system has to be changed and with proper planning  selection should be done  on the aptitude and I.Q basis of student only and there should not be  rat race for few professions . All the professions are equally important for the development of Nation .
Now on the entertainment side both Gadar 2 and OMG 2 are doing well on the box office and have crossed the Rs 500 crore and Rs 150 crore  target respectively  in national market . While Gadar 2 evolves patriotic sentiments against our neighbor Pakistan and all realistic and unrealistic manivours of Sunny Deol . While OMG 2 has a special message for our special age group.
