water on Moon!

Hurray!! yet another planet for we Indians to wash our clothes, take bath in the river(if any found at a later stage!), make dead float, answer the nature's call and a big time business for the politicians to make bottled mineral water to cool your body and mind like MOON!!!

while our scientists and ISRO take pride in announcing the discovery, one feels sad that hardly anything is being done to conserve our existing rivers and save them for the future generations. Most of the rivers specially in Tamil Nadu have gone dry. There are more number of water tankers on the road than the cargo moving trucks and most of them have political connections.

Recently i was fortunate enough to visit Mata Vaishno Devi in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. The Ban Ganga which used to flow ferociously is reduced as a small stream let in a span of about 30 years and was a saddening sight. The ganges which flowed majestically earlier and had no bounds is also reduced to run anaemically with much reduced flow of water. These factors bring lots of unhappiness and brings in gloom to a Happy mind. Now, the scientists have said finding traces of water on the Moon! I as a human being really wonder if the Moon will also end up with the same fate as that of our holy earth? Hope the Moon authorities ban entry of humans from the earth!
