Billion eyes are set on the India's Maiden mission to the red planet.

I had heard about blogs few years back. Since then I wanted to write my blog. But, for some reasons like, what to write, how to write etc, always stopped me. Finalizing an address for the blog is most depressing thing. Address of your choice will be unavailable and to think of a name, which would be available will take a lot of time. " Sorry, this blog address is not available " will vanish your enthusiasm/excitement for blogging, unless you come up with a really unique and out-of-box kind of word/words. BTW, my blog name is not so out-of-box, but it's in Hindi (my mother-toung). This blog-name thing is one of the significant reason, I am coming up with my blog a bit late. Logged in to blogger so many times earlier, but I was not getting a name which I like. But, this time I was determined to start my blog and So friends, this is the start of  "meri-jigyasa.blogspot.com". Edit: Now, I have a custom domain "www.merijigyasa.com" for my blog. Thank...
