It was 5 years back on Feb 1 2003 that seven human beings,
I donno their caste
I donno their country
I donno their gender
I donno their color
Still I owe them so much.....risking their life not for a breakthru in science but for showing, what might have been called 'unity', exists. I am very proud to look into sky and salute at them, where they still are present.
